Engino STEM Mechanics: Wheels, Axles & Inclined Planes

Engino presents the Discovering STEM: Mechanics Wheels, Axles & Inclined Planes construction kit, a hands-on set centred on simple machines and movement. Using the Engino snap-fit building system, it enables the creation of multiple working models that demonstrate how wheels, axles and ramps operate in practical builds. Model ideas include vehicles with different wheel sizes, a wheelbarrow, a crane with a moving platform, and experimental inclined plane set-ups.

A detailed booklet provides step-by-step building guidance for numerous models, alongside theory and experiments that explain key mechanics and physics concepts. Topics covered include friction reduction, mechanical advantage and how inclined planes reduce the force needed to lift objects.
