## Description

Watch kids turn your living space into an amusement park with the K’NEX Education STEM Explorations Swing Ride Building Set. Children can build a working swing ride with this educational building set. Each package contains 470 brightly colored pieces, including variously sized connectors, and multiple styles of rods: short, long, straight and curved . Parts can be connected together to create constructions that actually move, thanks to a battery-powered motor that uses two AA batteries. This engineering set can also be used for building two other rides — a boom ride and a Ferris wheel. Playing with this educational toy will unleash children’s imaginative skills by letting them build amazing structures with their own two hands. This toy also promotes growth in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) subjects, thanks to its complex and cognitive approach to entertainment. Not only does it offer kids a fun playtime session — it also helps develop their natural curiosity and creativity, and lets them learn not only by thinking about concepts but through hands-on experience as well. This set can also be used in schools, allowing students to find solutions and turn parts into whole constructions. An experiment guide walks children through the process of building the amusement park ride models. The manual contains complete details on the three inquiry-based engineering projects that are easy for kids to follow and implement. This STEAM toy is specially designed for children in grade levels 5‒9, ages 8 and up. It is best used by one to three children at a time, promoting camaraderie, teamwork, and social skills. Let children have fun while learning with the K’NEX Education STEM Explorations Swing Ride Building Set.

Review: Excellent!!! - I got one of these for each of my granddaughters (10/12 yrs), and this product is beyond cool. The 12 year old and I put the swing project together last night and had a great time doing so. The directions were clear cut and easy to understand, and the pieces were not too difficult to snap together. (We did have sore thumbs by the time we were done, but no biggie.) My grand daughter is in MESA, so this STEM item is right up her alley. She pretty much breezed through it, so I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for kids over the age of 12, but it was still challenging enough to keep her very interested. Her sore thumbs were instantly forgotten the moment she turned on the motor and the swing started spinning around! We used a large, sectioned plastic vegetable tray to dump each individual bag of pieces into, which made it very easy to pull the parts we needed. I highly recommend keeping these all separate, just to eliminate the frustration of having to dig through all the pieces when you need to pull parts for the next step. It really wouldn't matter if you dumped everything into one bowl, but it would sure make getting the parts you need frustrating, especially with the tiny pieces. We were missing a few pieces, but thankfully had the other box to pull from. I'll be contacting K'NEX Education and hoping they send us what we need.
Review: Very fun set! - Holy cow this set is fun! This was our first K'nex motorized set purchase so I was a little nervous that it would be difficult but it was not. My daughters (7 & 10) put this together mostly by themselves. They needed help getting a few stubborn pieces to connect but overall they were able to set it up with ease. After they got it all together we turned it on and it wasn't spinning. After looking it over I realized they hadn't jabbed the rod into the motor hard enough so I pushed it a little harder and ir started working. The motor requires 2 AA batteries that are not included. My girls decided it would be fun to attach some of their 3" My Little Pony dolls in the seats and it works. We were only able to put 4 in though, any more made it go too slow. This set it also able to be constructed differently to make 2 other designs but we haven't tried those yet. I love that it included instructions to make other things. I'm going to wait until they get bored with this before assembling it differently. Over great buy. Very fun set!

## Features

- 486 COLORFUL PIECES – The K’NEX Education STEM Explorations: Swing Ride Building Set includes 486 different brightly colored parts. Pieces include gears, variously sized connectors, and multiple styles of rods: short, long, straight and curved. These parts can be attached together to build simple structures or elaborate constructions, enhancing children’s imaginations and turning their ideas into working creations.
- STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS – Kids can create a fully functional swing ride with this construction set. The package comes with a battery-powered motor that works on two AA batteries, bringing kids’ ideas to life. Aside from the swing, they can also build two other amusement park ride models with this toy set — a boom ride and a Ferris wheel. Let middle-school students learn as they have fun with this K’NEX Education building set.
- EXPERIMENT GUIDE – The three included experiments contain complete details on conducting the hands-on, inquiry-based engineering projects based around the models and include information about the different parts and pieces. Parents can assist their children in the beginning until kids get the hang of it.
- PROMOTES TEAMWORK – Specially designed for children ages 8 and up, this engineering set is more fun when constructed with friends. Students in grades 5‒9 can create the models alone or with two other classmates. Through teamwork, students will learn how mass affects speed, how to gear up and gear down, and much more! The set promotes camaraderie and the development of social skills, too.
- STEAMagination : It’s the connection of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts & math) with a child’s natural curiosity and creativity and it powers the fun of each and every K’NEX building set. Building with K’NEX puts children on a path towards a fundamental understanding of STEAM/STEM subjects.
- LESSON PLANS AND EXPERIMENTS: All K’NEX Education sets come with either a comprehensive guide for teachers or an experiment guide for student-led learning. All lesson plans and experiment guides are written by expert educators and feature hands-on, inquiry-based projects that engage students in today’s busy classroom.
- ALIGNED TO NATIONAL STANDARDS: K’NEX Education teacher guides and experiment guides are aligned to national educational standards, including ITEEA, NSES, NCTM, NGSS and Common Core.
- REAL WORLD LEARNING: Study after study reveals that students have more success learning STEM subjects through activities related to the real world rather than reading about abstract concepts in textbooks. K’NEX Education sets allow students to build replicas of real-world machines and contraptions and through the lesson plans and experiments, gain a concrete understanding of the principles that make them work.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great toy, Fun to build with little ones!
*by W***O on December 15, 2016*

Quite a few tiny parts, that roll around the table or could be ingested by small children or pets. The toy itself is well made, and seems durable. The plastic is a pliable nylon blend that should stand up over time. Many parts would be tough physically for small hands to put together so its a good project for a child and adult to do together, but don't plan on it being something they can play with while you do laundry or dishes, cause you're going to get asked to put every other piece together for them. It's pretty fun to watch, currently its a christmas decoration on the mantle...
