Discovering Motions

Age 8+ 176 Parts $134.90 CAD

Some concepts are easier to understand when you can see them in action. Blix Discovering Motions gives your kids the opportunity to build working models that demonstrate how real-world mechanisms function. By assembling different mechanisms and observing their behavior, they develop an intuitive understanding of key scientific principles and mechanical systems. The result is an engaging experience that combines exploration, experimentation, and the satisfaction of making ideas come to life.

Build Models

13 working models · 22-chapter manual (motions, mechanisms & simple machines)

Motion Models

Rectilinear, circular, rotational and periodic motion — build a working model for each type of movement.

Mechanism Models

Working models of linkages, crank & slider, cam & follower, gears, power screw, and rack & pinion.

Basic Car

A motorized car build that ties the motion and gear concepts together.

Force, Power, Energy & Work

Experiments that show how the mechanisms transfer force and energy.

Simple Machines

Working lever, inclined plane, pulley, screw, wedge, and wheel-and-axle models.

Model 2: Linear Motion

Construct a mechanism that converts rotation to straight-line movement.

Model 3: Oscillating Motion

Build a back-and-forth oscillating mechanism.

Model 4: Pulley System

Assemble a working pulley system that demonstrates force transmission.
