During play with ramps, children experience hands-on application of the core concepts behind the physics of motion. Ramps allow children to inherently learn these concepts in a meaningful context building a fundamental understanding of physics, honing their problem-solving skills and working through fun and challenging play opportunities.
The Discovery Ramps Exploration Kit was designed specifically for children to gain an understanding of force and motion through building and experimenting, testing and hypothesizing, assessing failure points, and problem solving.
Concepts Explored:
- Momentum
- Incline
- Slope
- Cause & effect
- Mass
- Gravity
- Newton’s Laws of Motion
- Structural engineering concepts
Children are intrigued to experiment and test their creations using the many loose parts and pieces this kit has to offer! Accessibility and storage is made easy by the portable wooden cart. The Discovery Ramps Exploration Kit is a smaller, portable version of our Kodo Ramp Room and is a perfect fit for smaller spaces, after school programs, camps and special activities!
