STEM Mechanics – Levers & Linkages

STEM Mechanics – Levers & Linkages: Levers & Linkages set and learn how Levers can be used for increasing an applied force or changing the direction of motion. Find out how you can create models with a complex motion by connecting many levers together and learn how these Linkages can be applied to various machines. Build 16 working models such as a seesaw, a movable weight scale, a wheelbarrow, a parking gate, a toy with moving figures, a pantograph and two types of linkages. You can find easy to follow building instructions for all models either online or in the booklet included.

Levers & Linkages set and learn how Levers are used to increase a force for lifting heavy objects and how they can change the direction of motion.
