Discover the wonders of mechanics with the Simple Machines unit study!
This engaging kit is filled with hands-on activities and essential tools to introduce learners to the six types of simple machines: levers, wheels and axles, pulleys, inclined planes, wedges, and screws.
In this unit study, we will dive into early physics using hands-on, project-based learning. In each lesson, children will engage in building and creating as they explore the six types of simple machines. Each lesson includes a focused project, allowing them to experiment with concepts like levers, pulleys, and inclined planes in real, tangible ways.
Kids will explore how these machines make work easier and see how they’re used in the everyday life. Each activity brings STEM concepts to life in a fun and accessible way, making this the perfect unit for budding engineers and curious thinkers.
This type of project-based learning encourages problem-solving, critical thinking, and creativity, helping learners apply what they’ve discovered in meaningful ways.

EE African Savanna
$47.95
The African savanna is home to many animals like lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and wildebeests. Each of these animals has special ways to live in this environment.

Every year, millions of wildebeests and zebras travel across the Serengeti in a huge migration, looking for fresh grass to eat. This journey is one of the most incredible events in the natural world and shows how the animals of the savanna depend on the changing seasons to survive.
This kit is packed with supplies and fun, hands-on learning experiences to introduce kids to the African savanna ecosystem and some physical and behavioral adaptations animals use to thrive in the grasslands.
