Simple Machines Series: Block

Simple Machines Series: Block

Block is one of 12 functional experimental models in our Simple Machines Series. As with all simple machines, it can be used to demonstrate the mechanical advantage it provides, calculate it, and find practical applications. Blocks (pulley variations) are used to lift construction materials, hoist and lower sails, in drilling rigs...

For this experimental model, an instruction manual with theoretical discussion is included, along with ready-made worksheets for teachers and students (separate!).

1. Benefit of using a pulley block.
2. More pulley blocks.

All the simple machines in this series are made from a friendly material — wood. Dimensions: 16x9x41 cm. Weight: 800 g.

This teaching aid may seem so simple? That's good! Because this is a MODEL OF A SIMPLE MACHINE!

We can find simple machines all around us, even in very complex devices. We can even find them inside ourselves... All you need to do is extend your arm and bend it at the elbow.

Experiment with our simple machines - we include detailed worksheets for teachers and students (separate!).

Demonstrate meaningful formulas in practice! Only this kind of learning makes sense.

The Simple Machines Series includes 12 models of simple machines - 6 basic and 6 complex, designed for practical experience of their operation, illustrating the gain in force achieved by using a given machine, but also for calculating this gain based on specific machine settings in the form of our model.
