My first Physics Lab – Thames and Kosmos

Physics is full of action – Speed, power, catapults, and collisions!

Kit contains 22 action-packed science experiments. While building the models, young researchers will adventure in the fascinating world of mechanical physics and engineering.

• Kid will adventure building a balancing tightrope walker, a moving elevator, and a high-g astronaut training centrifuge to learn about forces, gravity, and weight.
• Kid will learn how to measure forces by building a force meter.
• Build a pulley system – crane and inclined plane to lighten the load and make work easier.
• Experiment with storing/converting energies by building a rocket car and a skee-ball mini golf ramp.
• Assemble  a wheelbarrow, a balance scale, and a trebuchet – helps to learn how levers have helped people do work for centuries.
• Explore the concept of trajectory.
• Build a windmill, a drop-test device, and various parachutes to investigate the forces of air and air resistance.
• Discover the force and motion of the planets and the sun.
• Build a sundial and a rotating Earth-and-Moon model.
• Construct a crash-test simulator and an airbag testing station to learn about momentum.
• Assemble a working gear train to learn how gears transmit and alter forces.
• Build an all-wheel drive vehicle that drives on rough terrain.
