| The Capsela motorized building system provides children with "hands on" experiences so that they can learn about energy and forces by actually handling batteries, creating motors, and seeing for themselves how energy changes with the help of visible gears and wheels. Each kit contains an easy-to-follow activity booklet that introduces basic science concepts. Smaller kits explore energy changes, electric circuits, motion energy, speed, and torque. Larger kits also provide introductory lessons on friction and traction, chain drive, inclined plane, crown gear, electrical switch box, buoyancy, electric circuitry, force, transformation of energy, vacuum, wheel-and-axle, friction, propellers, and Newton's third law ("to every action, or force, there is equal and opposite force"). The step-by-step full-color illustrated assembly instructions are easy to follow, and children quickly master valuable science principles while they create fascinating motorized projects. This set is a fun and creative introduction to building motorized models. In a matter of minutes kids can create a propeller vehicles, revolving machine, or even a mini-buggy--all of which move forward or in reverse! The Capsela Power Start set is a fun way for kids to learn about motion energy, torque, and other concepts. Includes illustrated basic Science Booklet and Design Manual and 24 interlocking parts to build four action projects. Motorized functions require one AA battery (not included).
