Physics Workshop :
The Science of Matter and Energy.
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.
- Ages 8 and up.
- 64-page, full-color manual.
- 305 pieces.
- 37 experiments.
The Workshops
The manual offers instructions to build 36 models to jumpstart your exploration of physics. 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.
The Experiments :
After building the models, conduct subsequent experiments with them to learn about the fundamental laws of mechanical physics. With your fixed pulley model, you’ll learn about basic forces and simple machines. Once you’ve worked up to more complex machines, such as a pendulum clock, you’ll explore more advanced concepts like work and centripetal force.
The Manual :
The 64-page, full-color manual presents assembly instructions, experiments, and a wealth of information about the science of physics and its real-life applications.
What’s Inside :
The kit comes with 305 building pieces including a motorbox, a crank, pulleys, gears wheels, and more to get you started on your scientific adventure. The plastic building system is compatible with other Thames & Kosmos physics and engineering kits-Combine the pieces to create your own configurations limited only by your imagination.
Educational Value :
Kids learn additional information about mechanical physics and the science of matter and energy in the ‘Did You Know?’ sections scattered throughout the manual. Key terms and processes are highlighted and explained in a digestible, straightforward way, and examples of real-life physics applications make learning about this area of science fun.
