Balloon Adventure Experiment Kit
Balloons are more than just a lot of hot air! Take a balloon adventure through topics in physics, chemistry, and biology. Race balloon cars, build a balloon-powered boat and fly a balloon helicopter. Puncture a balloon without it popping. Stick a balloon to the wall without glue. Measure your lung capacity. Learn where rubber comes from. Discover more than one way to blow up a balloon.
Build a barometer, a fire extinguisher and a water Yo-Yo. Investigate air pressure and the properties of fluids and gases. A 32-page, full-color experiment manual guides you through the 24 action-packed experiments.
Ages 8 and up. |
Young Scientists Set 12 - Surface Tension, Polymers
SLIME, SHRINKING PACKING PEANUTS, JUMPING PEPPER, AND BUBBLES! A foil boat gliding across the water, pepper jumping, and very large bubbles are all possible with the presence of surface tension. Diapers, slime, bouncy balls, and shrinking peanuts are created with polymers.
This set is completed by recreating experiments of famous scientists. Make a Cartesian Diver, Galileo's Pendulum, and study Archimedes' and Bernoulli's Principles. Young Scientists will be inspired by these famous scientists and may even become one themselves!

FYI: Everything comes down to physics." That's what a physicist once told me. Basically, it's the branch of science that studies the laws and properties of matter, as well as the forces that act on it. That means that gravitation, heat, light, magnetism, and electricity are all part of the study of physics. However, most of us think of chemistry, electricity, magnetism, and the earth sciences as separate subjects. And that's pretty convenient!
Parenting Tip: You can use simply household items to demonstrate principles of physics. For example, a large glass bowl or large clear plastic container and a pencil can demonstrate refraction. Fill the container with water and then hold the pencil in the container. Hold the pencil half in and half out of the water, at a slight slant. The pencil will appear bent. Why? That's refraction. It's fun to experiment with refraction during bathtime; displacement is fun then too! What is refraction? What is displacement? You'll have to look it up! That's why it's good to have basic science books around -- you need reference material!
