Product Description

Thames & Kosmos offers products loaded with unique educational values ​​that introduce children to chemistry, biology, physics, engineering, electricity, and the natural sciences. Brand’s mission is to teach children the various sciences in an interesting and fun way by providing them with real, practical activities and projects that will teach how things work.
This amazing set is full of real structural engineering activities. Through the set, children will learn the basic issues of structural engineering, will learn about the strength and stiffness of materials, how structural engineers optimize factors to maximize safety, and minimize cost and the risk of structural failure.
Do you ever wonder how bridges span huge distances and how skyscrapers stay standing? Structural engineers use physics and their knowledge of the properties of building materials and geometric shapes to design structures with sufficient strength and stability.
With this kit of modular building pieces, you can learn the basics of structural engineering by conducting a series of 20 model-building experiments. Each model demonstrates a basic principle of mechanical physics or structural engineering in a hands-on way.
Start out with small models that demonstrate how structural elements can be attached together to maximize the strength of a structure for a fixed amount of material used. Learn about basic structural elements including columns, beams, trusses, plates, arches, shells, and catenary. Explore the forces acting on structural components including tension, compression, shear, and bending.
Move onto building more complex models of trusses, roofs, and small buildings. Experiment with different types of bridge construction: a truss bridge, arch bridge, cantilever bridge, rope bridge, and suspension bridge. Finally, build models of towering skyscrapers. What is the tallest tower you can build using only the pieces included in the kit? Easy to use with the included detailed instructions.

About Brand

Thames & Kosmos was founded in 2001 by a science museum director and her son, who saw the great need and demand for better science education materials that are more engaging, more effective, more relevant, and more fun.

Thames & Kosmos mission is to improve informal science education. Their vision is to give all children access to real, physical activities and projects that teach them about how things work; It is our firm belief that children who connect with the world around them grow up to be inquisitive adults, creative thinkers, and engaged citizens with confidence to pursue careers in science, technology, and engineering.

The science kits are organized into thirteen categories: Chemistry, Physics, Alternative Energy, Electrical Science, Biology, Earth Science & Natural History, Multi-Subject, Astronomy & Space, Historical Science, Construction+Engineering, Robotics, Crystals & Materials, and Arts & Crafts.
