Your students can explore STEM concepts while building a working roller coaster with Amazing 8 Roller Coaster Set! The set will engage and energize middle-school children as they boost their understanding of the STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) concepts associated with a real-life amusement park ride.
This K'NEX Education Set includes over 400 parts, plus a battery-powered motor, allowing a single child or a team of two children to build a working roller coaster. The high-speed motor shoots the coaster car screaming through twists and turns. The set requires two AA batteries, which are sold separately.
K'NEX Education models offer proactive opportunities for children to develop scientific inquiry, investigation, and experimentation skills. The inquiry-based lessons challenge aspiring students as they build, investigate, problem-solve, discuss, and evaluate scientific and design principles in action. All K'NEX Education sets come with either a comprehensive guide for teachers or an experiment guide for student-led learning. All lesson plans and experiment guides are written by expert educators and feature hands-on, inquiry-based projects that engage students in today's busy classroom.
K'NEX Education sets allow students to build replicas of real-world machines and other models, and through the lesson plans and experiments, to gain a concrete understanding of the principles that make them work. Broaden your kids' STEAMagination with K'NEX Education STEM Explorations.
