Academy Of Steam Multipack - Botanic Lab And Inertia STEM Construction Set

THIS BUNDLE IS MADE UP OF BOTANIC LAB AND INERTIA & ENERGY CONVERSION
BOTANIC LAB
Build a fully functional Greenhouse, plant your seeds and see them germinate!
RECOMMENDED AGE:
Ages 8 - 12+
**DESCRIPTION:**Learning outcome: Learn about greenhouses and the life cycle of plants. Understand the importance of photosynthesis for life on Earth, and why atmospheric pollution leads to an uncontrollable greenhouse effect on our planet.
Experiment Method Description: Build a fully functional Greenhouse, plant your seeds and see them germinate! Monitor their growth and test how you are plants are affected by various conditions such as temperature, moisture and light levels.
Components: Engino parts, plastic skins and paper outlines, syringe, pots, transparent surfaces, seeds, soil, water.
INERTIA & ENERGY CONVERSION
Build an experimental platform that simulates a car that crashes on a wall.
RECOMMENDED AGE:
Ages 8 - 12+
DESCRIPTION:
Learning outcome: Newtons laws can essentially describe all objects that are in motion. Learn the notion of inertia, realize that it can be observed everywhere in our daily life and understand that seatbelts keep us safe when travelling. List different form of energy and define how they energy can be converted from one form to the other.
Experiment Method Description: Build an experimental platform that simulates a car that crashes on a wall. Convert the elastic energy of a stretched spring into kinetic for the vehicle. See the passenger flying out of the car right after the crash due to inertia. Investigate the relation between mass, acceleration and force. Relate inertia and the travelled distance of the passenger to the speed of the vehicle. Fasten the passenger on the vehicle and demonstrate how seatbelts can save lives.
Components: Engino parts, plastic skins and paper outlines, elastic string, rubber band.
