Zometool Molecular Mania Science Kitexplains how all the known atoms are categorized in the Periodic Table of the Elements. Even though there are over 100 different elements, most of the molecules in the world are made from only a handful of these atomic building blocks. In particular, life molecules are composed mainly of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), oxygen (O) and nitrogen (N) atoms. You will learn to use atoms as building blocks to make models of many of your favorite molecules, starting with water (H2O), oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2). Atoms are the building blocks of the universe, when two or more atoms are connected, or bonded together, a molecule is formed. Most of the molecules in the world are made from only a handful of these atomic building blocks. In particular, life molecules are composed mainly of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), oxygen (O) and nitrogen (N) atoms. Build 28 important molecules using atoms as your building blocks! The Molecule Cards in this kit have all the information needed to make a particular molecule.Ages 6 and up.* Parents’ Choice Approval Award and one of Parenting Magazine’s Best Toys of the Yearby Zometool


What can come of 10 building blocks, 2 levels of game play, a timer, and the creative child mind? The answer can only be found in the Make ‘N’ Break Game by Ravensburger, but there’s definitely fun in the foundation!Players can make or break their success based on how creative and resourceful they can be under the heavy-handed pressure of time. The rules are simple: roll a die, set a timer, pull an object card, build! Build! BUILD!, total the points for builds, switch players, and do it all again three more times. The points tally ultimately makes or breaks players’ reputations as Make ‘N’ Break champion builders.At least two and as many as four future constructors, contractors, or craftspeople can build confidence, spatial awareness, and social skills playing the Make ‘N’ Break Game by Ravensburger.Ages 8 and up.By Ravensburger


Power House Science Kit by Thames & Kosmos provides an engaging introduction to regenerative energy sources while teaching basic concepts and principles in physical science. The kit focuses on the heat and light energy from the sun, the energy from the wind, as well as with electrochemical and plant energy. You will learn how to transform and use these forms of energy. With the Power House Science Kit by Thames & Kosmos kit you can build a model house complete with solar panels, windmill, greenhouse, and desalination system. You can build and operate an electric train, windmill, solar cooker, solar hot water tank, hygrometer, electric motor, power hoist, sail car, and more! Plant watercress, prepare sauerkraut, and make chewing gum. Learn how plants convert sunlight into energy for your body and your engines. The thoughtfully designed series of experiments was developed by physicist Uwe Wandrey. who creatively integrates physical science and technology lessons with the adventure of building a home and living on a remote island. To survive, you must learn how to harness the power of the sun and the wind as well as tap the energy of other physical forces. The storyline follows the experiments in a stepwise fashion. Easy-to-follow activities make it fun to build models and use them for your experiments. The manual for Power House Science Kit by Thames & Kosmos is organized around the story of a group of island dwellers who must learn to live sustainably using the resources available to them on their small island. Power House includes a 96-page full color manual with 70 experiments and 20 building projects, organized into nine chapters. As you read their journal entries and learn of their projects and experiments, you will build models of the same projects and conduct the same experiments alongside them.Ages 12 and up.By Thames & Kosmos


Intro to Engineering welcomes young children to the field of engineering with 25 experiments and building projects in five sections. By engaging in hands-on activities, children will learn how engineers apply their scientific and technical knowledge to design machines and devices. Start by learning some engineering basics with experiments on levers, forces, and pulleys. Build simple devices using these basic components. Move on to explore engineering on land by building vehicles with wheels, such as a race car and a wind-up car. Then, investigate engineering with air and in the air by building a helicopter, a pinwheel, a parachute, a glider, a balloon rocket, and an air-powered carousel. Then, build a diving bell, a sailboat, and a paddle boat to experiment with engineering in water. Finally, find engineering in your own home with experiments modeling the telephone and television. With a 48-page guidebook, Intro to Engineering teaches engineering fundamentals with step-by-step, hands-on experiments and building projects. Ages 5 and up.By Thames & Kosmos
