Wheels and Axles and Inclined Planes
kit with Building Instructions booklet
Possible Teaching and Learning Activities
Introduction
This lesson provides children with the opportunity to
investigate how K’NEX construction materials may be
used to create different 2D and 3D shapes. It could also
contribute to cross-curricular activities, including:
(i) Mathematics: shape and space, movement
and angles.
(ii) Literacy: speaking and listening, describing
observations.
Teacher’s Notes
For many children, this may be their
first opportunity to explore, experience
and experiment with the K’NEX
materials they will be using in their
classroom activities. This includes
learning the names of the different
components and their functions.
Note: K’NEX Rods, Flexi-rods,
Connectors, Spacers, Hubs and
Tyres are always capitalized.
The Building Instructions booklet
provided in each set includes a
building tips page, which offers
guidelines for connecting the individual
pieces. You may want to provide
time for the children to practice
connecting the different components.
It is crucial that they grasp the building
concept at this stage so that
frustrations are avoided later.
Provide some basic guidelines for
maintaining all the pieces in the set
for future use. At least 5 minutes will
be needed at the end of each lesson
for cleaning up the materials.
