CHEM C2000 Science Kit by Thames & Kosmos is an intermediate level chemistry experiment kit which is a complete introduction to the most important topics in chemistry. Discover how fascinating the world is when you know the chemistry behind how everyday things work. Amuse your friends with “magic” tricks, and then enlighten them with the scientific explanations behind the magic. With CHEM C2000 by Thames & Kosmos your understanding of chemical reactions turns the everyday occurrences around you into extraordinary events. You will start with fun experiments to learn basic chemistry principles. Build a mini fire extinguisher and float a soap-powered boat, write with invisible ink and test colored markers on the chromatography racetrack as well as make dazzling colors in flame tests and produce electricity in a test tube. Complete safety precautions and instructions ensure safe experimentation. Professional quality equipment and an easy-to-follow 96-page, full-color Experiment Manual help you make the most of your 250 chemistry experiments. You will begin to build a strong foundation in chemistry with exposure to a broad range of chemical phenomena and hands-on lab experience. WARNING! – This set contains chemicals that may be harmful if misused. Read cautions on individual containers carefully. Not to be used by children except under adult supervision.Ages 11 and up.By Thames & Kosmos
This premier solar power workshop delves deeply into the principals of alternative energy resources. 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 Earth’s 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 by Thames & Kosmos explores the topic of solar energy, focusing on photovoltaic cells. The kit contains everything you need to build 12 different solar powered projects and conduct 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 kits in the Physics line. The 64-page book offers illustrated instructions for the projects, developed with Greenpeace in Germany. Ages 8 and up.By Thames & Kosmos
Physics Discovery Science Kit by Thames and Kosmos will allow you to build 12 models and then conduct experiments with the models to learn. Each model demonstrates a fundamental ida in mechanical physics. Gears, pulleys, wheels, and axles! With the Physics Discovery Kit, the first thing you’ll discover is just how exciting this science actually is. You can build a balance scale to learn about lever arms or a transmission to learn about gears. The 32-page book provides precise illustrated instructions for all projects and experiments.Ages 8 and up.By Thames and Kosmos

The Microcontroller Science Kit by Thames & Kosmos kit introduces you to microcontrollers, sensors, and programming through 100 experiments. The educational kit includes 100 experiments involving light, heat and sound sensors, data collection and more. Kids will learn about the inner workings of computers and programs and how to assemble circuits, design circuits and write programs. Microcontroller Science Kit by Thames & Komos received a Spring 2007 Parents’ Choice Silver Award. As our everyday devices become increasingly “smart” with embedded technology, microcontrollers are becoming more and more important. Build devices that use sensors to monitor and record data, and use the data to control motors, buzzers, lights, and a digital display. Write programs to control the devices you build. The number of possible experiments is infinite. The 100-page, full-color experiment manual guides your circuit assemblies and programming. Requires one 9-Volt Battery (not included) or a standard Power Adapter (not included).Software System Requirements: PC with Microsoft® Windows® 98, 2000 or XP operating system Minimum 64 MB of RAM Minimum 5 MB of free hard disk space Available 9-pin serial (COM) or USB port CD-ROM driveAges 12 and up.By Thames & Kosmos

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
