Thames & Kosmos Physics Workshop
Age Range: 8 – 12 Years old
Physics is a vital science for everybody, and this kit gives an extensive explanation of mechanical physics. Through running following experiments with the versions and building 36 models, your kids will learn the fundamental laws of mechanical physics. Begin by building small versions, such as simple machines, to learn about forces that are basic and a pulley. Then, work their way up to more complicated machines, such as a pendulum clock, to find out more advanced concepts like centripetal force and work. Because the fundamentals of physics are displayed right in front of your children this hands-on approach is both fun and effective. Kids learn additional information about physics and the science of matter and energy in the ‘Did You Know?’ Sections scattered across the manual. Processes and Key terms are highlighted and described in a way, and illustrations of real life physics applications make learning about this field of science enjoyment. The kit includes 305 construction pieces like pulleys, a crank, a motor box, gears wheels, and more to get your kids started on his adventure that is scientific. The building process with Thames & Kosmos Physics and Engineering kits combine other work kits to make your own configurations limited only by your own imagination.
Thames & Kosmos Magnetic Science
Age Range: 8 – 15 Years old
Explore the remarkable and invisible power of magnets using games and 33 experiments. This science experiment kit comprises many magnets of various shapes and sizes and many different other components with which you can explore this traditional scientific subject. Experiment to find out which materials are magnetic and which aren’t. Learn about fields and poles. Discover we use, and Earth acts like a single giant magnet compass to take advantage of this phenomenon. Conduct a series of experiments to learn firsthand how magnets act and interact under conditions that are different. Make fields that are invisible visible using iron filings in a transparent box. Build an electromagnet to understand how magnetism is related to by power. The full-color manual which has 48 pages will guide your experiments.
Thames & Kosmos Catapults & Crossbows Science Kit
Age Range: 8 – 15 Years old
It is time to get medieval on physics! Build models and ten sleek of catapults and crossbows. A crossbow is a type of weapon based on a bow and arrow, in which the bow is mounted horizontally on a stock. Build and experiment with five different kinds of crossbows. The projectile has a foam tip from being launched and a special cross-section that prevents projectiles. A rubber band is pulled back when the bolt is loaded into the crossbow and energy is stored in the stretched rubber band. A trigger releases the bolt and the rubber band launches it.A catapult is just another ballistic device that uses counterweights and mechanical rubber bands to fling projectiles into the air. The 32-page manual has explained step-by-step directions.
Thames & Kosmos Physics Pro (V 2.0) Science Kit
Age Range: 10 – 15 Years old
Physics Pro is our largest advanced physics kit. You can continue your study of statics and dynamics from past lessons and start your study of topics in physics, including oscillation, energy, fluid dynamics, pneumatics, and hydraulics. By adding advanced topics like dynamics to your physics repertoire, you can construct some really spectacular models and devices, including a hydraulic lift, pneumatic shocks, and a wind tunnel. You may see physics extends far beyond the classroom, giving an awesome set of tools which may be implemented in the real world to engineer things to us. The kit’s focus is the behavior of the two most fluids in our world – water and air – and objects immersed in them. You will investigate how water and air rest and flow, how they move and what they can carry. With models and experiments, you will find out what forces work on them and what sorts of energy they have. You will discover ships float and planes fly, why the car speed is affected by a different shape and how power plants convert a current of water. The full-color experiment manual with 96 pages has two sections. In the first part, you’ll enter the physics lab, where you will get to know the properties of air and water and become familiar. There is a collection of 17 experiments in which you will stat building versions. In the second part, you may move on to the workshop, where you may build 14 models of complex real-world apparatus. Over 213 parts are included in this kit, that is compatible with all our other Physics kits.
Kids First Physics Lab Kit
Age Range: 8 – 15 Years old
Power, speed, collisions, and catapults! Physics is full of activity! Kids will have the 20 models in this introductory physics kit spinning around in 22 action-packed science experiments, rolling, flying, falling, crashing, balancing, and racing. Kids test the models to show and comprehend laws of mechanical physics after following instructions to build each model. Young researchers learn about topics in the fascinating world of engineering and mechanical physics while building the models. Start your physics adventures by building an elevator, a balancing tightrope walker, and a high-g astronaut training centrifuge to learn about gravity, forces, and weight. Learn how to measure forces. Examine physics at the construction site to learn about simple and work machines. Build crane, a system, and inclined plane to lighten the load. Experiment with storing energy and converting energy by constructing models of a rocket car and a golf ramp. Assemble three machines in the Middle Ages – a trebuchet, a balance scale, and a wheelbarrow – to learn levers have helped individuals do work for centuries. Explore the concept of trajectory. Continue your lessons by building a windmill, a apparatus, and assorted parachutes to look into the forces of air and air resistance. Expand your perspective out into the solar system to discover motion and the force of the sun and the planets. Build a sundial and a rotating model. Take a crash course in physics that is applied with a string of automotive models and experiments: Assemble an airbag testing station and a crash-test simulator to learn about momentum. Make an all-wheel drive vehicle. This toy is “Parents’ Choice Gold Award” Winner.
Thames & Kosmos Physics Solar Workshop (V 2.0) Science Kit
Age Range: 8 – 15 Years old
In one way or another, almost every form of energy we use originates from sunlight. Solar energy directly powers thermal collectors and cells. We get electricity from plants developed 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 from the sun, captured creatures and by plants millions of years ago. Physics Solar Workshop explores the subject of solar energy, focusing on cells. By conducting experiments with them and building five models, you will discover how cells transform light and how motors and mechanical devices can optimize the work done by this energy. Start with a helicopter design which converts sunlight and demonstrates the basics of technology. Continue your experiments by constructing models that are increasingly complex: a solar-bot, a moon rover, and a stag beetle. Finally, the models can also be powered by a solar battery, allowing operation in all lighting conditions. There are 138 parts, which are compatible with Thames & Kosmos Physics and Engineering kits. The book provides illustrated guidance for your own projects. This toy is the “Parents’ Choice Silver Award” Winner.
