Physics Kit

Edit- I hate when they do the “Price To Low to Display” thing. I pull the prices straight from the Amazon database so they are current, but if it’s still giving this message, the price I most recently saw was $48.44. So it should be somewhere in that range.

This looks like the type of gift that kids would love once they start getting a little bored with Legos. Kids can build 36 models of real-world machines and conduct 37 unique experiments with the models. Along the way they’ll learn the fundamental laws of mechanical physics. This hands-on approach is both fun and effective, and vividly demonstrates the principles of physics. The kit includes a 64-page full-color book with assembly and experiment instructions. Requires 1 “C” battery (not included).

Product Description

Almost everyone has heard of a chemistry set. But until this kit was introduced, a physics set was almost unheard of. Physics 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 the models, you will learn the fundamental laws of mechanical physics. 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 advanced concepts like work and centripetal force. This hands-on approach is both fun and effective because the principles of physics are demonstrated right in front of you.
