Build Your Own Gumball Machines with Physics & Engineering Lessons

Gumball Machines: Explore the Wonders of Mechanical Physics!

This exciting science kit allows you to build your own gumball machines and embark on a journey of hands-on physics exploration. The kit features modular track segments that can be rearranged to create a myriad of different gumball machine designs, each showcasing a range of captivating stunts and tricks.

As the gumballs roll down the track, they perform a variety of awe-inspiring feats, including a pulley lift, pendulum, funnel, trampoline, variable-slope ramp, pinball launcher, and domino slide. Each segment of the track serves as a lesson in mechanical physics, allowing users to delve into the concepts of simple machines, force, motion, momentum, gravity, Newton's laws, and energy transfer.

The gumball dispensing mechanism is both fun and practical. A simple turn of the handle releases a single gumball from the clear storage globe, which then travels down the track and lands in a collection cup. The gumballs can be easily and hygienically returned to the globe for another round of experimentation.

The kit is compatible with standard machine-size, 16-mm (5/8-inch) gumballs, and a small supply is included to get you started. As users engage in trial-and-error experiments, they'll learn valuable lessons about the interplay of various physical principles, all while enjoying the thrill of watching their gumball machine in action.

Designed for users of all skill levels, this science kit is a perfect choice for budding scientists, physics enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates the joy of hands-on learning. It has even earned a prestigious Parents' Choice Silver Award, further cementing its reputation as an educational and entertaining tool.

Whether you're a novice or an experienced tinkerer, this gumball machine kit offers an opportunity to explore the wonders of mechanical physics in a captivating and engaging way. Prepare to be amazed as you witness the intricate dance of gumballs, physics, and your own creativity.
