Picture of productPhysics 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. Catalog number: 40568. Brand: Thames & Kosmos. Brand's Part Number: 626914. The manufacturer recommends this product for ages 8+.

Picture of productSnap Circuits Jr. Electronics Learning Kit



This is a really fun kit that lets kids snap circuits together before they have the fine motors skills and attention span needed for either soldering or solderless breadboards. Most kids really enjoy the ability to make their own circuits that buzz, light up, whirl or send flying saucers into the air.

These are also great demonstration devices for teachers introducing basic electronic theory. Many students get lost in the translation from neat schematic diagrams to the wire maze of normal circuit building. With this kit you can build and demonstrate circuits that physically look like the schematic before proceeding to messy breadboarding.

Contains over 30 parts. Build over 100 exciting projects. Catalog number: 12302. Brand: Elenco Electronics. Brand's Part Number: SC-100. The manufacturer recommends this product for ages 8+.

Picture of productPhysics 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. Catalog number: 42028. Brand: Thames & Kosmos. Brand's Part Number: 625313. The manufacturer recommends this product for ages 10+.
