Details;How it is made and what it can do
Developed by the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, this Gears & Pulleys set consists of plastic cogs, two plastic foam base boards, axle pegs, pulley attachments and elastic band belts. An accompanying leaflet suggests ways to use the set, and poses questions for children to answer using their observations: for example, they are told to set up a three-gear configuration and then asked whether the gears all turn in the same direction.
