Expect excitement when you teach with K'NEX. Remember, this translates into learning motivation. K'NEX Education sets have curriculum guides which are written for open-ended, inquiry based investigations into the subjects under discussion. Sets can accommodate students working in pairs, teams or larger cooperative groups. The suggested number of students accommodated per set is based on building directly from building instructions included in the set. Creative construction allows even more students to build contemporaneously. To help manage K'NEX components, create a student inventory control team or weigh K'NEX parts at the beginning and end of each building session.
