Featuring a durable modular plastic system and a full-color manual, it offers hands-on STEM challenges perfect for curious minds aged 6 and up. This reusable kit combines education with excitement, making complex science principles accessible and engaging. ## Description Build and experiment with dozens of roller coaster models to make learning the physics of force, motion, and energy as fun as a day at the amusement park. Conduct an action-packed series of hands-on physics and engineering lessons with an 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. Get a practical introduction to many physics principles including gravitation, potential energy, kinetic energy, free fall, projectile motion, friction, centripetal force, velocity, acceleration, and more. Conduct a series of engineering challenges: What is the tallest roller coaster you can build? How about the longest straightaway? Can you build a loop-de-loop? A large, full-color manual guides you through the model assembly and experiments with step-by-step illustrated instructions. + Design and build your own working roller coaster models. + Conduct hands-on physics experiments to learn about force, motion, and energy. + Complete challenges that require you to build roller coasters of all shapes and sizes. + Plastic building system is durable, easy-to-assemble, and reusable. + Full-color manual with step-by-step assembly instructions and scientific explanations Review: I got this for my 10 year old who developed an interest in bridge building after a school assignment. Some of the string projects needed adult assistance but overall he had fun building the structures and learning some engineering basics. Review: 12 year old grandson, who wants to be an architectural engineer, loved it! He said it’s challenging but enjoys it nonetheless. I wouldn’t give it to a child who’s not already hooked on architecture. ## Features - Design and build your own working roller coaster models. - Conduct fun, hands-on physics experiments to learn about force, motion, energy, and more. - Complete challenges that require you to build roller coasters of all shapes and sizes. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08V16FFFC | | Age Range Description | 6+ | | Battery Description | No Battery required | | Best Sellers Rank | #34,334 in Toys ( See Top 100 in Toys ) #503 in Educational Science Kits | | Brand Name | Thames & Kosmos | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,665) | | Educational Objective | Physical experimentation | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00814743015845 | | Included Components | Plastic building pieces, roller coaster car | | Is Assembly Required | Yes | | Item Dimensions | 37.1 x 5.8 x 29.2 centimeters | | Item Type Name | Physics Science Kit | | Item Weight | 907 g | | Manufacturer | Thames & Kosmos | | Manufacturer Maximum Age (MONTHS) | 216.0 | | Manufacturer Minimum Age (MONTHS) | 72.0 | | Manufacturer Part Number | 625417 | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Number | 625417 | | Set Name | Thames & Kosmos Roller Coaster Engineering STEM Kit | | Size | L | | Sub Brand | thames | | Theme | Physics | | UPC | 814743015845 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** 6+ - **Brand:** Thames & Kosmos - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 37.1 x 5.8 x 29.2 centimeters - **Size:** L - **Theme:** Physics ## Images ![Roller Coaster Engineering - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91bwtlMZ--L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: are these compatible with legos?** A: No, they are not. **Q: Does the manual come in other languages like French?** A: No, the manual for this kit is in English. **Q: does this come with a car or something that runs on the track?** A: This kit comes with a set of 2 cars to run on the track. **Q: Does is not come with a small screwdriver for assembling the car?
