Gumball Machine Maker

Build your own gumball machines and learn physics lessons in the process. It's a gumball machine meets a marble run meets a roller coaster meets a pinball machine! As they roll down the track, the gumballs perform cool stunts and tricks; add a pendulum, pulley cups, trampoline, and more to see these wacky stunts in action. Each segment of track teaches a different lesson in physics, demonstrating principles like force, motion, momentum, gravity, energy, simple machines, and more. Compatible with standard machine-size, 16-mm (5/8-inch) gumballs, the kit comes with a small supply to get started. Build your own gumball machines and learn physics lessons in the process. A turn of a handle dispenses one gumball at a time out of the clear storage globe and down the track. Each segment of the track teaches a different lesson in physics: force, motion, momentum, gravity, energy, and more. The segments can be moved around to create an almost limitless number of different mac
