Introduction

Your K’NEX Levers and Pulleys kit is

part of a series called “Understanding

Mechanisms”. The series has been

produced to enable Key Stage 2 pupils

to investigate and evaluate some familiar

products, to think about how they work

and to explore the mechanisms that

make them work.
