Includes all pieces to build the gears and an inbuilt motor!
An extraordinary one-of-a-kind book! Real gears that actually work are powered from a motor built into the book and allows children to learn through doing the science of gears.
Doc Sprocket, a robot who lives in a junkyard, teaches the kids all about gears, starting with the basics. Following simple step-by-step instructions, kids can build each of Docs six different wacky contraptions directly on the pages of the book. Once the gears and parts are in place, they can turn on the motor and watch the gears actually turn and spin. Kids can then use their imagination to build endless crazy gear contraptions of their own on the last page.
There is also a hunt-and-find feature in the book that reinforces how gears play a part in our everyday lives. Objects that use gears are scattered throughout the junkyard, and readers can look for them as they learn more about each type of gear. Answers are provided at the end of the book
What better way to learn about a subject than to actually have hands-on experience with it?
