K'NEX Education - Exploring Wind and Water Energy Set SIX BUILDING IDEAS  KNEX Education Exploring Wind and Water Energy Set consists of more than 280 durable plastic parts. These can be combined into fully functioning replicas of six different renewable energy machines, two at a time. Create a wind-powered lift, a sail car, or a water-powered grist mill, and be amazed at how the elements of wind and water make these models move. PLAY AS A TEAM  Not only does KNEX Education stimulate kids brains, it promotes social skills through teamwork and collaboration. This building set makes a great learning tool for students, as it can be built by one person or by two people working as a team. Building instructions and a comprehensive teachers guide aligned to science, technology, engineering, and math standards are included. This engineering education toy is recommended for children ages nine and above. INTERACTIVE LEARNING  KNEX Education allows your kids to enjoy hands-on learning. This set is designed to introduce students to scientific concepts as they create six types of renewable energy machines. With this fun and inquiry-based approach to concepts, grade five to nine students can build and investigate while evaluating scientific principles in action. CONVENIENT STORAGE BIN  Enjoy a quick and hassle-free cleanup after playtime. This building set comes with a handy reusable bin for convenient transport and storage. This teaches builders to keep their playing areas tidy and organized. STEAMagination  Its the connection of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts & math) with a childs natural curiosity and creativity and it powers the fun of each and every KNEX building set. Building with KNEX puts children on a path towards a fundamental understanding of STEAM/STEM subjects. LESSON PLANS AND EXPERIMENTS  All KNEX Education sets come with either a comprehensive guide for teachers or an experiment guide for student-led learning. All lesson plans and experiment guides are written by expert educators and feature hands-on, inquiry-based projects that engage students in todays busy classroom. ALIGNED TO NATIONAL STANDARDS  KNEX Education teacher guides and experiment guides are aligned to national educational standards, including ITEEA, NSES, NCTM, NGSS and Common Core. REAL WORLD LEARNING  Study after study reveals that students have more success learning STEM subjects through activities related to the real world rather than reading about abstract concepts in textbooks. KNEX Education sets allow students to build replicas of real-world machines and contraptions and through the lesson plans and experiments, gain a concrete understanding of the principles that make them work.
