It’s not magic—it’s hydraulics!

Hydro Muscle is a hands-on project that lets kids explore the science of water-powered movement by building their own working hydraulic crane. Using syringes, tubing, and good ol’ popsicle sticks, kids will assemble a functional hydraulic arm that lifts, rotates, and grabs objects using the force of fluid!

What’s Inside the Kit:

• Kit shipped to you with all the parts
• Build and Learn guide with interactive questions, simulations, build instruction, and more
• Fun customization ideas to make your crane truly unique!

What Kids Will Learn:

• Introduction to pressure and how it can move things
• Understand how fluids transfer force through a hydraulic system

Learning in Action:

• Play the lifting challenge game and understand the power of hydraulics
• Add new features to the crane and test
• Experiment with different linkages
