Description

Have fun with physics and Mad Science! Fly through flight and discover the four forces that affect flight. Make and test plane designs to see these forces in action. Act like junior architects and engineers! Test out shapes for strength and build a bridge. Create a whirlwind with a vortex generator. Make liquids turn into solids and watch objects disappear as you uncover the science of magic. Feel the pull of precession with the bike wheel gyroscope and strike the perfect balance with the Gravity Game kit. Investigate conductors, insulators, and other elements in the world of circuit electricity.

Additional Information

Che-mystery
Discover the mystery in chemistry! Explore one of the most exciting and fundamental sciences as you watch water turn into juice and liquids turn into solids. Explore physical and chemical reactions with the Dynamic Dish kit.
Current Events
Take a tour on the electron freeway! Investigate conductors, insulators, and other elements in the world of circuit electricity. Get turned on to science and technology with the Circuit Maze kit.
Fantastic Fliers
Fly through flight and aerodynamics basics! Discover the four forces that affect flight. Make and test various plane designs to see these forces in action! Take home the Sky Hawk Foam Plane glider and fling it forward!
Fun-damental Forces
What do gravity, inertia and centripetal force have in common? They are all part of the fun in this introduction to physics. Fell the pull of precession with the bike wheel gyroscope and strike the perfect balance with the Gravity Game kit.
Science of Magic
Learn the science behind illusions, read minds and perform a Houdini-style escape! Amaze and amuse friends and family with the Curious Cube kit. It’s not magic - It’s Science!
Super Structures
Act like junior architects and engineers! Test out shapes for strength. Work together to build a Roman arch. Construct a structure from scratch at home with the Bridge Basics kit.
Under Pressure
Kids discover how Bernoulli's principle can keep things in the air and how air pressure can be used to move things. Create a whirlwind with a vortex generator and make ping pong balls levitate with air pressure!
Wacky Water
Simulate the effects of an ocean oil spill, and develop creative techniques to clean it up! Take home your own Rescue Diver tool while learning about water, waves and the environment.
