SIGNATURE SERIES
625412 AGES 8+ MSRP: $59.95 CASE PACK QTY: 6 EXPERIMENTS: 37 PIECE COUNT: 305 MANUAL PAGES: 104 By building 37 models and conducting experiments with them, you will learn the fundamental laws of mechanical physics. Start by building small models, such as a fixed pulley, to learn about forces and simple machines. Then, work your way up to more complex machines, such as a pendulum clock, to learn more advanced concepts like work and centripetal force. This hands-on approach is both fun and effective.
PHYSICS PRO
625314 AGES 10+ MSRP: $99.95 CASE PACK QTY: 3 EXPERIMENTS: 31 PIECE COUNT: 211 MANUAL PAGES: 96 Physics Pro is our biggest, most advanced physics kit. With this kit, you can continue your study of statics and dynamics from previous lessons and begin your study of more advanced topics in physics, including fluid dynamics, energy, hydraulics, and pneumatics.
GUMBALL MACHINE MAKER
550101 AGES 6+ MSRP: $39.95 CASE PACK QTY: 4 EXPERIMENTS: 12 PIECE COUNT: 55 MANUAL PAGES: 20
Build your own gumball machine and learn physics lessons in the process. A turn of a handle dispenses one gumball at a time out of the clear storage globe and down the track. Each segment of the track teaches a different lesson in physics: force, motion, momentum, gravity, energy, and more. The segments can be moved around to create an almost limitless number of different machines. Standard machine-size (5/8-inch) gumballs included.
CANDY CLAW MACHINE ARCADE GAME MAKER LAB
550103 AGES 8+ MSRP: $41.95 CASE PACK QTY: 4 EXPERIMENTS: 10 PIECE COUNT: 110 MANUAL PAGES: 16
Build a working model of the classic claw machine in which you try to grab prizes from inside the machine with a remote-controlled claw in a limited amount of time.
Choose from three different claw shapes (cool nerdy roboticists call these “end effectors”) and find the one that works best to pick up a particular candy or prize. Learn how the gears, levers, belt, screws, hydraulics, linkages, cranks, and claws all work together to pick up, move, and drop prizes. Experiment with different gear ratios to speed up or power up your claw.
