Mechanisms
~~~~~~~~~~
Creative Curriculum Software
The world is full of machines ranging from the simple to the complex, from
ice cream scoops to internal combustion engines. Machines are so common
as to be almost unnoticed, but children need to understand how machines
work and should be able to modify and build simple mechanical devices.
The Mechanisms CD reveals mechanisms in action, providing a graphical and
immediate demonstration of the link between mechanical thoery and practice.
Mechanisms is an essential tool for all those involved in teaching and
learning about mechanisms in technology, maths and physics.
The CD is in two parts. Part one covers basic principles, important terms,
associated calculations and diagramatic conventions. Part two draws on a
very wide range of examples— domestic, industrial, historical— to
illustrate mechanisms in practice. All examples are illustrated with full
colour annotated photographs and overlays, with many diagram sequences,
showing purpose, structure and use.
The second CD in the series, Structures, is now in preparation.
