Educational Materials

Launch rod with extra strength and length for larger rockets.

These heavy-gauge aluminum carts come completely assembled with low-friction ball bearing wheels and space to carry five ordinary bricks.

Aligned to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math standards

Investigate and experiment with 7 functioning Wheel & Axle and Inclined Plane models designed to demonstrate science and technology concepts.

Students can determine, through investigation, if the machine multiplies the force it applies to the resistance (load), if the machine changes the direction of the force they apply, and more.

K'NEX Education Intro to Simple Machines: Wheels and Axles and Inclined Planes is designed to introduce students to the scientific concepts associated with two types of Simple Machines: wheels and axles and inclined planes.

Use the Time of Flight Pad to precisely measure how long a projectile has been in motion. The Time of Flight Pad is used with the Vernier Projectile Launcher and a Vernier interface to determine the launch speed of a projectile, along with the time the projectile is in flight. Time-of-flight measurements allow students to see just how kinematic calculations work in real-world applications. The Time of Flight Pad is electrically like a photogate. When a ball strikes the foam top surface, a circuit is closed.

Vividly demonstrate centripetal forces with this exciting apparatus.

This model acts similarly to the Rabinion planetary gear of a modern vehicle. The complex principles of a planetary gear are unlocked with the use of color coded discs. Blue is used for the internal gear. Green is used for the pinion gear. Yellow is used for the sun gear. This model consists of 3 forward speeds and 1 reverse speed. The instructor or student manually operates this unit by locking by locking down a specific part of the gear using a fixed pin. Changes in rotation are visible when adjusting either the sun, pinion, or internal gear. A nomenclature panel is included on the front of the model for reference. These items are made special to order and are not held in stock. Lead times are approximately two to three months. Freight charges may apply. Dimention: 27V x 30W x 24H cm; Weight: 3 kg

This product is a model of a differential. This model permits the instructor and student to manually turn the handle and apply a load to the transparent wheels to demonstrate the differential mechanism.
In automotive mechanics, the differential gear arrangement permits power from the engine to be transmitted to a pair of driving wheels, which divides the force equally between them and permits them to follow paths of different lengths, as when turning a corner or crossing an uneven road. On a straight road, the wheels rotate at the same speed. When turning a corner, the outside wheel has farther to go and will turn faster than the inner wheel if unrestrained. These items are made special to order and are not held in stock. Lead times are approximately two to three months. Freight charges may apply.

This product is a model of a wankel engine. The transparent plastic housing enables the students to see the internal structure at all angles. The rotor starts moving when the switch is turned on. It is powered by 110V AC. These items are made special to order and are not held in stock. Lead times are approximately two to three months. Freight charges may apply. Dimentions: Size: 15L x 20W x 28H cm ; Weight: 3 kg
