Bridge building has always been exciting. Many types of bridges have been invented and further developed, and many bridges have collapsed. A bridge builder has to take many forces into account if he wants to build a stable bridge. The different materials and techniques in the experiment kit make it possible to experience the advantages and disadvantages of the individual types of bridges, while the instruction booklet with short excursions through the history of bridge building not only encourages the construction of bridge models, but also the building of simple bridges over a ditch or str
With different types of tissue paper, silk (28 cm x 28 cm), cotton thread and a basket, all kinds of techniques and different types of parachutes are tried out and let fly. The parachutes can be flown with any small toy figure or animal as a pilot, the basket also takes any type of cargo or passenger.
One drop only? One single drop will be enough?
With one single drop you can do an incredible amount of experiments and surprise others with them as well. It only takes one drop to create a magnifying effect, a vortex ring or the lotus effect. A drop can sink, splash, bounce, or even float. But you have to be very gentle to make sure that only one drop will trickle from the pipette!
Partially or completely filled with water, the glass sphere becomes a magnifying lens. When held under water, magnifications are created. In the world of optics, you quickly understand how a magnifying glass is also a focal point or turns the world “upside down”.
Waves, resistance, suction, whirlwind circles and paths, circular turbulence and funnel turbulence occur in similar forms in water as well as in air. With smoke cones, table tennis balls and a whirlwind mobile, an elastic band driven boat, channeled air from a straw and many other objects you can discover shortlived turbulence. In the richly illustrated instructions these fascinating phenomenon are explained opposite each other for air and water.
Many different experiments and observations for indoors and outdoors in summer and winter. You can observe and experience wind and weather thouroughly in stormy as well as quiet conditions, in rain, snow and sun. The experiments and the richly illustrated instructions explain all main weather phenomenon and additionally you can build your own mini weather station.
Experimenting together with children between the ages of 4 and 8
Mirrors have something mysterious to them, because they not only duplicate the world, but also distort and rotate it. Experimenting with mirrors playfully stimulates a more accurate observation, but in the mirror we also experience ourselves and the space around us from a new perspective, and we sense a whiff of inconceivable infinity through the unusual views in the kaleidoscope and the bended mirrors.
Cog wheels are fascinating - they allow the transmuting of speed from fast to slow.
The principles of gears and chronometers are also covered. The wooden gears can be assembled into many different gears, screws and wrenches are included.
