Get to Know:
Almost everyone has heard of a chemistry set. But until this kit was introduced, a physics set was almost unheard of. Physics, however, is an essential science for everyone, and this kit provides a comprehensive explanation of mechanical physics. Through building 36 models and conducting subsequent experiments with these models, kids can learn the fundamental laws of mechanical physics. Start out by building smaller models, such as fixed pulleys, to learn more about basic 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 because the guiding principles of physics are demonstrated right in front of you. The kit includes over 300 building pieces. Its 104-page, full-color manual includes assembly instructions, experiment guides, and explanations in a richly-illustrated, easy-to-follow manner.
