Product Description
The TechCard Power-it Kit explores how forces can be controlled to carry out useful work through a series of air powered models. Pupils discover that air, though invisible, is a substance that takes up space and can be used to transmit force. All materials, components and full instructions are included. Explore mechanical forces and discover that construction can be fun. Great fun to modify, test and compete!
