Build and experiment with dozens of roller coaster models to learn
the physics of force, motion, and energy. Conduct a series of handson physics and engineering lessons with this easy, modular building
system. Piece together the sturdy frame structures and then attach
the flexible track to it to build and test endless roller coaster designs.
Experiment by varying the weight of the cars and varying the slope,
length, and direction of the track.

Investigate physics using technology from medieval
times! Build six sleek, functional models of catapults,
trebuchets, and launchers. Use these classic siege
weapons to conduct simple experiments that
demonstrate important mechanical engineering topics
like force, energy, motion, and trajectory. The included
lightweight foam balls and soft darts are safe and
effective projectiles to fling at your cardboard “castle”
and other targets! The 32-page, full-colour manual has
illustrated step-by-step instructions for building the
models and conducting the experiments.
• New and improved version of a classic best-seller
• Combines engaging, hands-on construction
projects with real, authentic learning
• Durable, modular building system allows for
hours of open-ended play and exploration
• Specially designed and tested for safety
• Models include: crossbow, reverse
draw crossbow, catapult, onager,
trebuchet, and ballista
