Density ID Set
A set of 15 samples of different materials used to challenge students to identify materials based on measurement of their density. For some specimens this will be straightforward. In other cases, it will lead to a discussion of uncertainty in measurements and data, and to an awareness that different materials may have nearly the same density.

K’NEX Education Intro to Simple Machines: Wheels/Axles & Inclined Planes
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.
