DetailsBlock Science, as a pioneering extension of the unit blocks system, adds a rich introduction to physics and essential cognitive development to traditional classroom block play. The Foundation Sets are designed to exercise early engineering concepts, collaboration, and the study of matter, motion and mathematics. Plastic building and roadway clips stabilize builds, drawbridges and loops to enable taller, sturdier and more mobile tracks and builds. Simplified, wooden cars with soft plastic wheels easily glide across the solid wood tracks while carrying algebraic people designed for mathematical and dramatic play activities. Each Foundation Set includes Concept Cards for building examples and language associations. Ages 3+BenefitsBlock Science Foundation Set B contains 92 pieces: 12 roadway curves, 4 roadway units, 4 roadway ramps, 4 roadway double unit, 2 exit/entrance ramps, 1 roadway switcher A, 1 roadway switcher B, 1 roadway intersection, 2 cars, 8 wheel clips, 4 rope hitches, 14 block clips, 3 hinge clips, 26 roadway clips, 2 adults and 4 childrenComposed of smooth sanded beech wood and rubberwood pieces and over-molded Enhance and expand on traditional block playSmooth sanded beech wood roadways connect with plastic roadway clipsOver-molded plastic building clips create stable builds and fit standard unit blocksAlgebraic people have symbols for math activities or differentiation during dramatic playIntroduction of drawbridge, intersection, and roadway switch pieces encourage complex building and playDevelop fine motor skills, early engineering concepts, teamwork, collaboration, spatial thinking, problem solving, and STEM conceptsRequires standard unit blocks for proper building experienceUnit Block Set B by Guidecraft corresponds with Foundation Set BAges 3+
