Pushing or pulling one handle moves air to the other piston and works the claw. Plan on learners following the visual guide closely. Once it works, they improve the grippers for a relay race, redesign parts from scrap cardboard, or try water instead of air.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSubject connections\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScience and engineering.\u003c\/strong\u003e Learners explore pneumatics, levers, and pivots.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eTen individually packaged, ready-to-build kits for learners to make and keep.
