Amusement Park Sets: The Amusement Park Sets are motivating, interdisciplinary tools for grades 5-9. These two thematic units offer realistic, easy-to-build, and fully-functioning amusement park rides including roller coasters, Ferris wheels, carousel, swing rides, boom rides, a pirate ship (classic pendulum), while the Amusement Park Experience Set also includes a series of half pipes and inclined plane ramp systems.
- Blending ride construction with the supporting curriculum challenges students to use and apply acquired math, science and technology knowledge and skills to solve real-world problems and conduct relevant investigations. The subject matter emphasizes how human need, activities and technology are interwoven.
- Hands-on investigations with the built rides determine the effects of energy, speed, acceleration, gravity, rotational motion, and more.
K'NEX Education's Amusement Park Sets are also a great fit for before- and after-school activities and for science fair projects.
