Through building 36 models and conducting subsequent experiments with the models, you will learn the fundamental laws of mechanical physics with this Physics Kit by Thames & Kosmos. This hands-on approach is both fun and effective because the principles of physics are demonstrated right in front of you. The full-color 64-page manual presents assembly instructions, experiments and explanations in a richly-illustrated, easy-to-follow manner.The year 2005 marks the 100th anniversary of Albert Einstein’s “miraculous year” in which he published three important papers describing ideas that have since influenced all of modern physics. This year provides the opportunity to celebrate Einstein, his great ideas, and his influence on life in the 21st century. The World Year of Physics is a worldwide celebration of physics and its importance in our everyday lives. Physics not only plays an important role in the development of science and technology but also has a tremendous impact on our society.Activities: build a windmill, crane, sail car, mars robot, hammer machine, centrifuge, scale and dozens of other models experiment with simple machines: gears, levers, screws, inclined planes, pulleys, wheels and axles learn and understand the most fundamental physics equations read about amazing real-world applications for physics 64-page Manual 73 ExperimentsAges 8 and upBy Thames & Kosmos
