| | | Air Prop Racer Kit
This is a kit of parts that lets you build a propeller powered vehicle of your own design. The kit includes a styrophome base, wheels, axles, a propeller, several rubber bands, string and other useful bits of hardware -- but no instructions. Actually, the kit does have instructions but they are marked "Do Not Open Unless Totally Stumped!" Recommended for ages 9 and older. Requires common household tools and suplies including scissors, a small hammer, and tape. Buy two kits, one for yourself and one for a friend and have a mousetrap car race. Also great as a classroom or scout activity. Manufacturer: WALNUT.

|  | Physics Discovery
from Thames & Kosmos
Introduction to mechanical physics
With Physics Discovery, you can build 12 models and then conduct experiments with the models to learn about forces and simple machines. Each model demonstrates a fundamental idea in mechanical physics. For example, you can build a balance scale to learn about lever arms, a freight elevator to learn about pulleys, a bicycle to learn about wheels, a motion picture machine to learn about centripetal and centrifugal forces, and a transmission to learn about gears. Physics Discovery is a smaller, introductory companion to our best-selling
Physics Workshop kit. It has different building projects and experiments, but parts that are compatible with those in
Physics Workshop and
Physics Solar Workshop. This kit includes more than 100 building pieces. The 32-page book offers illustrated instructions for building projects and experiments. Manufacturer: Thames & Kosmos. Manufacturer's Part Number: 626914.

|  | Physics Pro
from Thames & Kosmos
The main focus of the kit is the behavior of the two most important fluids in our world water and air and objects immersed in them. You will investigate how air and water rest and flow, what they can carry and how they move. With experiments and models, you will find out what forces work on them and what kinds of energy they possess. You will learn how ships float and airplanes fly, why a streamlined shape lets a car drive faster and how power plants convert a current of water into electrical current. Manufacturer: Thames & Kosmos. Manufacturer's Part Number: 625313.

|  | Physics Solar Workshop
from Thames & Kosmos
Solar power technology in action.
In one way or another, almost every form of energy we use originates as energy from the Sun. Solar energy directly powers photovoltaic cells and thermal collectors. Indirectly, we get power from plants grown by the Sun, oceans heated by the Sun, and Earths weather systems sustained by the Sun. Even the energy stored in fossil fuels originated as energy from the Sun, captured by plants and animals millions of years ago. Physics Solar Workshop explores the topic of solar energy, focusing on photovoltaic cells. By building 12 models and conducting 30 experiments, you will learn how solar cells transform light into electrical energy, and how motors and mechanical devices can optimize the work done by this energy. You will build different types of vehicles and machines to demonstrate how gears can convert and transform power for different needs. There are 320 parts, which are also compatible with the other Physics kits. The 64-page book offers illustrated instructions for the projects. Developed with Greenpeace in Germany. Manufacturer: Thames & Kosmos. Manufacturer's Part Number: 623715.

|  | Physics Workshop
from Thames & Kosmos
The Science of Matter & Energy
Sure, you've probably heard of a chemistry set. But a physics set? This is something new. Like chemistry, physics is an essential science for everyone to study, and Physics Workshop is the essential introduction to physics.
Through building 36 models and conducting subsequent experiments with the models, you will learn the fundamental laws of mechanical physics. This hands-on approach is both fun and effective because the principles of physics are demonstrated right in front of you. Manufacturer: Thames & Kosmos. Manufacturer's Part Number: 625412.
