National Geographic How Things Work Build Your Own Racing Car STEM Kit

Description

Discover the science behind speed and movement with the National Geographic How Things Work Build Your Own Racing Car STEM Kit. Combining hands-on construction with fascinating scientific principles, this educational activity lets children build their own racing car before discovering how forces make it move.

Children assemble the colourful 3D racing car model using card and other included materials. Once construction is complete, the car can propel forwards using air rotation, providing a fun and practical demonstration of force and motion.

As children build and experiment with their racing car, they can discover more about the mechanics and physics behind movement. The comprehensive instructions include interesting facts about racing power and mechanics, helping explain scientific ideas in an accessible way for younger children.

The kit also includes a read-along adventure, combining storytelling with construction and scientific discovery. Building the model encourages concentration, creativity and problem-solving while giving children the satisfaction of seeing something they’ve constructed actually move.

Part of the National Geographic How Things Work range, the Build Your Own Racing Car is an engaging gift for young scientists, engineers and car enthusiasts aged 5 years and over.

Why You’ll Love It

The National Geographic Build Your Own Racing Car turns scientific principles into something children can actually build, see and experiment with. Constructing the model introduces the engineering side of the activity, while watching the finished racing car move helps demonstrate concepts such as force and motion.

It’s a great screen-free activity for children interested in cars, science, engineering and how things work, combining education with an enjoyable hands-on project.

At Yesteryears Toy Shop, we’re proud to offer educational toys and activities that encourage children to experiment, discover and learn through hands-on play.
