Build an 18-inch tower where LEGO contraptions launch gravity-powered races
Potential energy converting to kinetic, friction affecting speed, momentum transfer between moving parts.
The kit supplies everything immediately: pre-cut chipboard panels, LEGO components for building contraptions, wooden balls that race through your designs, and hardware for assembly. Instructions guide you through the initial tower build, then branch into variations, gravity labyrinths that challenge precision, zip-line launchers that demonstrate trajectory, grabber claws controlled by simple mechanics. Rebuild configurations to test different outcomes.
Content sections profile Rube Goldberg's elaborate machines and introduce physicists whose work explains what you're observing. Practical suggestions connect theory to action: how household items extend your builds, ways to theme the tower as a pinball arcade, techniques for creating chain reactions where one event triggers the next. The ISBN (9781339019123) confirms this specific edition when ordering. STEM learning works best when you can manipulate variables, observe results, and immediately rebuild to test new ideas.
