Zometool Creator 1 Science Kit is a great starter kit for students and teachers to discover Zometool’s unique and elegant approach to learning, build domes, crystals, flowers, bridges, DNA – anything you can imagine! Zometool will help you form a new understanding of the coherent structure of space. Your mind will never be the same again! A great introduction to the Zometool universe; become acquainted with the structure of space! Build hundreds of models from simple to profound. Explore structures in nature, math, science, art and architecture. Sturdy new sorting cases make storage and cleanup much easier. New shorter strut-lengths make models more compact, resilient and beautiful.Ages 6 and up.* Parents’ Choice Approval Award and one of Parenting Magazine’s Best Toys of the Yearby Zometool
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
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
