Dynamic Track Stand & Ramp

The Dynamic Track Stand & Ramp is a versatile and robust resource designed to support hands-on learning in physics and engineering investigations. Crafted from thick MDF with hardwood side supports, this apparatus offers both strength and durability, ensuring long-term use in busy classroom settings. The rounded corners enhance safety during use, reducing the risk of injury. The dynamic system includes a main track, adjustable-height ramp, and a run-off ramp that bridges the gap to the floor, allowing students to explore concepts of motion, gravity, acceleration, and friction in a controlled and measurable environment.

_Educational Benefits:

• Reinforces key physics principles such as gravity, speed, and motion.
• Provides a tactile, kinaesthetic learning experience ideal for STEM subjects.
• Encourages collaborative, inquiry-based learning and scientific thinking.
• Supports the development of data collection and analytical skills.

Classroom Ideas::

• Conduct experiments comparing the velocity of different objects at various ramp heights.
