TeacherGeek Gears Tinker Set
What happens when gears are connected? Do they rotate together, at the same speed, direction or with similar force? Truly experience gears through this activity; growing understanding through tinkering, experimentation and even engineering amusement park rides. Optional labs teach about fractions, ratios, proportions and mechanical advantage. A TeacherGeek tool set is required to set up the activity, but kids only need tools for select challenges. Lesson plans available for grades K-8.
