These hand crafted wooden models illustrate the principles of both simple machines and more complex mechanical devices. Whether it is the lever, a very simple machine, or the motion converter, which changes a circular motion into a reciprocal motion, the models are engaging to work with. Children (and adults!) can't resist turning the gears and seeing what happens. Before they know it, they are doing some real experiments and learning some basic physics principles in a direct, hands-on fashion.
