Colossal Elevator Marble Run Engineering Set, 400 Pc.

Description:
Develops engineering design, scientific reasoning, and spatial problem solving through hands on construction of complex marble pathways and mechanical systems. Learners explore gravity, motion, speed, cause and effect, sequencing, and structural design while building and testing different track configurations. The motorized elevator and specialized track components provide opportunities to investigate mechanical movement, experiment with design changes, and observe how those changes affect marble movement.

Includes:
400 plus construction components including tubes, funnels, tracks, slides, chutes, spirals, marble catchers, bases, 50 marbles, a marble launcher, specialized motion components, a motorized marble elevator with battery pack, instructional building guide, and rolling storage container.

Educational Skills Developed:
Engineering design, scientific reasoning, basic physics, gravity and motion, mechanical reasoning, spatial reasoning, sequencing, structural planning, cause and effect, experimentation, testing and refinement, logic, fine motor skills, creative problem solving, and persistence. MindWare specifically identifies logic, basic physics, fine motor skills, creativity, and problem solving among the learning areas supported by the set.
