Introduction

Understanding Mechanisms

Your K’NEX Wheels and Axles and

Inclined Planes 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.
