What is K'NEX?
What is K'NEX?
K'NEX is one of the most successful construction kits in the world. It is based around a series of "Rods", which can be joined together by "Connectors", such as the one shown in our logo. Once they have mastered using these simple components, children and adults alike can use their
imagination to make potentially millions of different working models.
K'NEX parts are available in three different sizes, namely:
Micro K'NEX - the smallest size of K’NEX part, ideal for building roller coasters. Suitable for ages 7 to 11.
Classic K'NEX - the original size of K'NEX part, which can be used to build a wide range of different models. Suitable for ages 7 to 97.
Kid K'NEX - a version of K'NEX with larger, chunkier Rods and Connectors that small hands can easily join together. Suitable for ages 3 to 7.
The set includes 352 K'NEX parts – enough to build 16 fully-functioning replicas of real-world machines, one at a time:
Comprehensive instruction book and teacher's guide. Packaged in a strong storage tub with snap-on lid.
The Teacher's guide includes Student Inquiry Sheets and Worksheets for the models highlighted. Student Worksheets ask questions about the machine being investigated and present challenges that can be used to help students think more deeply about the concepts involved.
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Education focuses on concepts taught through problem-solving, discovery, exploratory learning and critical thinking. STEM Education requires students to be active participants in the learning. K'NEX models offer hands-on learning opportunities that encourage scientific inquiry, investigation and experimentation. Our inquiry-based lessons challenge students as they build, investigate, problem solve, discuss, and evaluate scientific and design principles in action.
Supports 2 students.
