Abstract

The authors have developed a teaching material to understand the structure and principle of gears by using CG animation materials. However, it is difficult for younger children who have low cognitive ability to understand only visual information to understand the structure of gears with CG contents. In this study, we developed a teaching material of gears to promote the understanding of the structure by touching the object, which cannot be supplemented by visual information alone. In this teaching material, the gears can be attached to any place on the board by using Velcro or strong magnets on the shaft of the gears, so children can learn the principle of gears while playing.
