Mechanics gravity magnetic race track harnesses the invisible forces of magnetism and gravity through original and surprising means. The spheres inside the circuit are set in motion by an innovative magnetic cannon that uses the force of attraction of the accelerating magnet. This set contains 2 magnetic rods, 9 spheres and 104 plastic elements - all the essentials needed to build freely and create chain reactions. Gravity is the innovative evolution of the Geomag mechanics line. Developed with expert players in mind, the new construction system is based on an innovative "gravity motor": This uses the weight of the Geomag spheres to kickstart the mechanisms and movements of the Geomag mechanics structures. The motion is provided by the invisible forces of gravity and magnetism, without using electricity or batteries. The play experience is based on these fundamental principles of physics. Mechanics gravity is a stem Product that can truly stimulate curiosity and inspire to learn more about science.

Build Solo or Together!

Unique, connect-anywhere Brackitz attach to traditional planks at any angle, enabling builders of all ages to construct everything from small-scale builds to larger-than-life gravity-defying, 3-D structures - with their friends or alone - no limits. With plastic planks and rotating pieces, the Inventor 100 Piece Set is a great for larger builds and enables anyone to create builds with moving parts! Versatile, durable, and portable, award-winning Brackitz brings real-life art, math, science, architecture, and engineering principles into play.

Engaging, fun and effective, these challenge cards provide a hands-on approach to STEM instruction. Features activities that can be performed independently, in small groups, or as a whole-class activity. 30 cards per boxed set. Grades 2–5

Learn to code and get drawing with STEAM-style robotics to create visual masterpieces—if you can code it, Artie 3000 can draw it!

• WiFi-enabled drawing robot
• 4 Modes of play: pre-programmed shapes, games, art for coloring, and freeform coding
• QuickStart guide & FAQs instruction cards
• 3 Project cards
• Drag and drop visual programming interface
• 4 Swappable, washable colored markers

How to Use:

1. Download the app to any tablet.
2. Use the software to easily drag and drop blocks of code into the command area, telling Artie 3000 to turn right or left, move forward or backward, and pick up or put down a pen.
3. Test your code in the online simulator before setting Artie 3000 on a sheet of paper to draw the shape you've coded.
4. Watch how-to videos and learn about everything Artie 3000 can do

Develop your fifth grade students' creative problem-solving skills with STEM Lessons and Challenges. Students apply science, technology, engineering, and math concepts to solve real-world problems.

Every grade 5 unit is focused on a hands-on challenge and guides students to work together as engineers to design, prototype, test, and refine their creations.

• The 15 grade-appropriate STEM challenges target life, Earth, and physical science concepts.
• Every unit is focused on a hands-on challenge in which students apply the STEM process of plan, create, test, and redesign.
• No-prep lessons and easy-to-find materials help you fit STEM learning into the busy school day.

• Teacher overview pages—Tips and directions for preparing students to complete a STEM challenge, as well as a materials list that suggests readily available items to gather.
• Reading selections for background knowledge—Foundational information that is relevant to the challenge that students are completing.
• Visual real-world examples—A visual literacy page with real-world images relevant to the STEM challenge.
• A STEM challenge overview—Introduces the specific task and goal of each STEM challenge and provides space for students to brainstorm.
• Design process worksheets—Activities guide students to plan, create, test, and evaluate their creation.
• A redesign page to evaluate their design—The worksheet guides students through each step of the design process and provides space to document plans, materials, results, evaluations, and revisions.

• Mousetrap (Life Science Concept: Simple Machines)
• Oil Spill Boom (Earth Science Concept: Buoyancy/Properties of Oil)
