K'nex Forces, Energy & Motion
New set
The K'NEX Forces, Energy & Motion Racer Set offers an exciting, versatile, hands-on investigative opportunity for students. The curriculum is organized as a series of objectives achieved through classroom discussion and laboratory exercises. Teachers using balsa wood, CO2 and mousetrap powered vehicles will appreciate the versatility and benefits of using flexible, dependable, reusable, and easy to manipulate K'NEX.

Students investigate potential and kinetic energy, and identify the differences between energy associated with position and condition. Using rubber band and spring motor powered vehicles, students experiment with and investigate the effects of changing variables. The options and variations for vehicle design and testing are limitless, and each alteration is easily duplicated to ensure valid, consistent, reliable results.

Throughout their study of forces, energy and motion, students cultivate concrete experiences that will form the foundation for scientific practices for future laboratory study. Students follow sound experimental procedures in data collection and have the opportunity to evaluate techniques used to complete experiments.

While working on each lesson's objectives, students consider: methods for data collection and graphing; condition of experimental tools; validity and reliability of experiments through multiple trials; setting investigation standards; margin for experimental error, etc. Focusing on these concepts at these grade levels insures students are prepared for future in-depth experimentation.

Communication is an important goal in any science classroom. The Forces, Energy & Motion Educator Guide provides suggestions that encourage students to present and communicate their ideas and findings in a variety of formats (posters, drawings, formal lab reports, discussions, etc.).
