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
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
Zometool Plato’s Solids Science Kit reflect Plato’s genius. The oldest man-made models of these shapes are over 3,000 years old, but they’ve been around long before humans in the shapes of viruses, crystals and life forms. Why are they so special? Build the Platonic Solids and explore the relationships between them by constructing their duals (learn what a dual is). Pythagoras, Plato, Euclid and Kepler were all big fans, and soon you will be too! Why are there only 5 perfect 3D shapes? Why were these shapes a closely guarded secret in ancient Greece? Examine the shapes that form the basis of nearly all natural and human-built structures. Build all 5 of Plato’s Solids and their duals.Ages 6 and up.* Parents’ Choice Approval Award and one of Parenting Magazine’s Best Toys of the Yearby Zometool
