546 ASSORTED PIECES This K'NEX Education set includes 546 parts, plus a battery powered motor, for a single child or a team of two to three children building a working roller coaster. Two additional models are also included in this set a ramp and a half pipe which can be built one at a time. The set requires two AA batteries, which are not included.
OFFERS HANDS ON LEARNING K'NEX Education models offer proactive opportunities for introducing children to scientific inquiry, investigation, and experimentation. Inquiry based lessons challenge young learners as they build, investigate, problem solve, discuss, and evaluate scientific and design principles in action.
EXPERIMENT GUIDE Once a ride is built, an activity booklet guides learners through three hands on, inquiry based experiments. This experiment guide aligns with the national STEM standards and is designed for grades 5‒9. Students will learn about the relationships between time, distance, speed, and more
PROMOTES TEAMWORK This educational engineering set is more fun when constructed with friends. One to three kids can put their heads together and figure out the structure, exchanging ideas as they tinker with the bits and parts, and solving the model faster through teamwork. They'll build camaraderie and develop social skills as they play.
STEAMagination : It's the connection of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts & math) with a child's natural curiosity and creativity and it powers the fun of each and every K'NEX building set. Building with K'NEX puts children on a path towards a fundamental understanding of STEAM/STEM subjects.
