Subject: Simple Machines Demonstration Models Required
Dear All,
Just a quick request to see if anybody knew of a possible supplier of demonstration models for simple machines.
I'd like to know if I can get some simple interactive models that demonstrate some of the basic principles of gears, levers and pulleys (different model for each mechanism), and I know I've seen some used in education settings.
I don't really need a bespoke set of interactives creating, as I am sure that models such as these are available to the education market...
I don't really want to use K'Nex or LEGO or any of the other modular building systems, but was thinking of some sort of big, chunky models made out of wood or plastic.
Any advice would be gratefully received!
With thanks,
Stuart
