High-Speed Gumball Machine Maker Lab for Teens

Create your own gumball machines and learn about physics at the same time with this super sweet science kit! A simple turn of the handle dispenses one gumball at a time from the clear storage globe, sending it down the track and into a collection cup. The gumballs can then be easily and hygienically returned to the globe for another go. The track segments can be rearranged on the base to create endless variations of gumball machines.

As the gumballs roll down the track, they perform exciting stunts and tricks including a pulley lift, pendulum, funnel, trampoline, variable-slope ramp, pinball launcher, and domino slide. Each segment of the track teaches a different mechanical physics lesson, allowing users to explore topics such as simple machines, force, motion, momentum, gravity, Newton's laws, and energy transfer. Through trial-and-error experiments, you can enjoy hands-on fun while learning about the principles of physics.

This kit is compatible with standard 16-mm (5/8-inch) gumballs and includes a small supply to get you started. The 2-language version provides instructions in both English and French. By combining elements of marble runs, roller coasters, and pinball machines, you can build your own gumball machine while exploring the fascinating world of physics.
