Gumball Machine Maker

Build a Gumball Machines & Learn Physics Lessons in the Process!

Create an almost limitless number of gumball machines while learning lessons in mechanical physics. Exploring topics like simple machines, force, motion, momentum, gravity, Newton's laws, energy transfer, and more! As the gumballs roll down the movable track segments, they perform stunts and tricks including a pulley lift, pendulum, funnel, trampoline, variable slope ramp, pinball launcher, and domino slide.

Requires use of standard 16 mm gumball machine-size gumballs (5/8 inch) but includes a small supply to get started. Contains 48 components including a 16-page manual that guides you through 12 experiments. For ages 6+.
