Land, Air, Sea, and Space Travel
A little bit of history, a little bit of science; the K'NEX Education Transportation Set, part of their educational line, can be used as a robust stand-alone unit or as an attractive add-on to a textbook-only curriculum. Covering the four traditional methods of transportation–land, air, sea, and space travel–it has multiple layers of challenges.

Many K'nex models may be built simultaneously
For example, K'NEX Education Transportation Set will present your child with the history and construction of a basic rescue chopper. Afterwards he will be asked to design a helicopter that could haul many people, and then adapt it to include equipment to perform a rescue at sea. Because many models may be built simultaneously, the whole family can participate in the K'NEX Education Transportation Set challenge. K'nex battery- and spring-power motors are included to bring additional dimensions to the study of transportation.

K'NEX Education Transportation Set Provided Hours of Open-ended, Hands-on Educational Value
From activity cards with background information about each vehicle's origin, purpose, and function, to additional challenges for the gifted student in the Educator's Guide, K'NEX Education Transportation Set is a set that will provide your family with hours of open-ended, hands-on educational value. Designed for ages five to ten, K'NEX Education Transportation Set includes 800 construction pieces, three motors, activity cards to create forty-four models, and a fifty-six-page teacher guide all packaged into a sturdy plastic storage tub.
