Concepts are explored with the use of archival material, live-action, and computer animation. Look and Learn -- Elementary Age: The Mechanics of Toys offers a look at the scientific functions employed in the construction of movable toys. Simple demonstrations relate how gravity, batteries, friction, momentum, cranks, flywheels, and generators work to create action playthings.
