Almost every kid has a chemistry set but what about a physics kit? Here's another great kit from the makers of our best-selling chemistry sets, Thames and Kosmos. Start by building small models, such as a fixed pulley, to learn about basic forces and simple machines. Then, work your way up to more complex machines, such as a pendulum clock, to learn more complex concepts like work and centripetal force. This kit includes more than 300 building pieces. The full-color 64-page manual presents assembly instructions, experiments and explanations in a richly illustrated, easy-to-follow manner.

What does it teach?

• Build a windmill, two-speed crane, force scale, sail car, Mars robot, hammer machine, centrifuge, pinball game, centrifugal switch, ship's lantern, and dozens of other models
• Experiment with simple machines: gears, levers, screws, inclined planes, pulleys, wheels and axles
• Learn and understand the most fundamental physics equations
• Read about amazing real-world applications for physics
