Electricity is the most versatile energy source that we have. Lights, fans, computers and most other electrical appliances are powered up by electric current. For an electric current to happen, there must be a circuit. A circuit is a closed path or loop around which an electric current flows. This Conductivity Experiment wall panel comes with 2 electric circuits. The circuit on the upper part is still an open circuit requiring children to make it a closed circuit by pressing one of the 4 buttons. Each button represents 1 type of material of different conductivity. If plastic or tile is chosen, the light won't be turned on because electric current cannot pass through insulating materials. Another circuit is also an open circuit. Children will be asked to use their bodies as connectors to make it a closed circuit. When a child put both hands on the panel, the light will turn on! Children will be amazed by this phenomenon. Teaching them that our human bodies are conductive cannot be easier!

These boards can be used as a floor or table activity, mounted to a wall or with the free-standing Painting Window (#35351) and the Desktop Painting Window (#35350).

Made from European birch plywood and beech wood.

Earth is the only planet known to have current geological activity, like earthquakes and volcanoes. It is the only planet known to have life. Earth has one natural satellite, the Moon, which is the only large satellite of a terrestrial planet in the Solar System. This learning board demonstrates how moon orbits earth and how earth orbits sun. It also explains why we have day and night in a day and why there are four seasons in a year. The learning also shows the inner structure of the earth and demonstrates what happens inside a volcano when it erupts. Special lighting effects are used for better demonstration of orbiting and volcano eruption.

Children are naturally interested in experimentation and invention. Our new inventor kindergarten set provides young explorers with
everything they need to playfully discover mechanical phenomena and relationships. This opens up children's first glance of the physical world.

15 template cards with amazing experiments on physical and mechanical phenomena can be explored and developed further. The focus is not on simply recreating the template cards, but on discovering the underlying principles so children can try their own experiments too.

Measures 67.5cmL x 44.5cmW x 87cmH.

This Skyrail system has a motorised elevator which collects, lifts and sets marbles in motion again. Central tower is 60cm high and the suspended track runs approximately 7 metres. The Skyrail System allows the construction of spectacular suspended aerial structures that imitate the technology of famous suspension bridges. Ideal for the demonstrations of physics principals like velocity, acceleration, gravity and friction.

A type of historical weather forecasting device, composed of a sealed glass container, filled with a liquid that allows the user to forecast the weather by observing the appearance of the liquid in the glass. Quick View

Pump air into a 1.25 litre plastic bottle partially filled with water creating high pressure which forces the water through the restricted opening at high velocity creating the thrust necessary to launch the bottle over 30m into the air. A fun way to learn about rockets and Newton's third law of motion "every action has an equal and opposite reaction". All you need is a bicycle pump, a plastic soft drink bottle and a windless day. Adult supervision required. Quick View

This set comprises 5 Skyrocopters, 5 Balloon Cars measuring 10cm long and 5 Balloon Helicopters with a blade span of 29cm. Colours will vary.

All the basic mechanical functions of a car are precisely reproduced, including engine with working pistons and rods, two speed and neutral gearbox and working differential allowing rear wheels to turn independently. The steering also works through a steering box. All components snap on and off the chassis to view each working individually. Quick View

This simple device with a black stand is the perfect desk display for students with its rhythmic motion inscribing beautiful patterns in the sand. The simplicity of a pendulum belies its scientific importance as it has been used to demonstrate a plethora of principles, including the rotation of the earth and has been used to detect earthquakes for over a millennium.

The Crooke's radiometer, also known as a light mill, consists of an airtight glass bulb, containing a partial vacuum. Inside are a set of vanes which are mounted on a spindle. The vanes rotate when exposed to light, with faster rotation for more intense light, providing a quantitative measurement of electromagnetic radiation intensity. Today the device is mainly used in physics education as a demonstration of a heat engine run by light energy.

This kit will help children explore the power of wind and store the produced energy to activate the four models they can build with this set; electric car, airplane, helicopter and truck. The wind power is converted into mechanical power from the big gears in the kit and to electrical power via the gear motor that acts as a dynamo. The power is then stored in a rechargeable battery found in the smart battery box unit. Highly efficient aerodynamic and adjustable 3 blade propeller to fit all wind conditions. Requires 1 AA/LR6 battery or a rechargeable battery – not included. Ages 8yrs+.
