Mechanics Gravity Elevator Circuit 207 Pcs

£49.95

Built to help harness the invisible powers of gravity and magnetic repulsion, the Mechanics range by Geomag focuses on learning through STEM-focused construction. Each set is designed to help kids learn about these forces in a fun and educational way.

Inside the Elevator Circuit box are a range of parts, spheres and magnetic rods which work together to provide the mechanical movement of the circuits. The mechanical parts allow this range to rotate, trigger chain reactions and facilitate magnetic repulsions. Therefore, the elevator system that is created through this set allows you to manually turn the construction to move the sphere, use the magnetic canon to shoot the spheres around the tracks you have created and then send the spheres back up to the top via the elevator. The whole set is designed to use gravity, magnetism, and repulsion to provide a hands-free approach to the science-focused range.

I was impressed with the level of detail across the sets, which, with over 207 pieces, allows you to build and alter constructions to suit your interests. My only concern arises with the number of pieces in the set which greatly increases the possibility of losing some - especially if you send a sphere flying off a little too fast. However, the mechanic's range is compatible with all other standard Geomag ranges, so this isn’t too much of a problem if it is just a sphere.

If you are looking for a more advanced version of Geomag for a budding STEM-obsessed child or you want to introduce more educational play into your child's life this Christmas, the Mechanics Gravity Elevator Circuit is the perfect choice. With a keen focus on physics, whilst also being made with 86% recycled plastics you know you are gifting not only a great present for learning but one that has been designed with sustainability in mind.

Pros:

• Advanced Geomag set focusing on physics for educational learning
• Range of Geomag compatible components to add in mechanics and expand with other collections
• Many different variations to be discovered through play and construction to develop critical thinking skills in a fun way

Cons:

• Parts can be easily lost which may affect mechanics functions
