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.

This activity comes with downloadable engineering challenges and optional labs. For ages 7-12 / Grades 2-7 (different challenges/labs for different ages). Optional labs teach about fractions, ratios, and proportions, with other activities covering mechanical advantage.

A multi-cutter is required for the initial set up, and a hammer and tapping block are recommended.
