Physics Solar Workshop explores the topic of solar energy, focusing on photovoltaic cells. By building 12 models and conducting 30 experiments, you will learn how solar cells transform light into electrical energy, and how motors and mechanical devices can optimize the work done by this energy. You will build different types of vehicles and machines to demonstrate how gears can convert and transform power for different needs. There are 320 parts, which are also compatible with the other physics kits. The 64-page book offers illustrated instructions for the projects. This kit was developed with Greenpeace in Germany.
— This kit offers experimentation “with different mechanisms that allow you optimize the use of the solar power depending on specific applications. For example, you build vehicles with different gear ratios….In this way, it teaches kids how solar power can be harnessed and transformed for use in the real world,” president Ted McGuire of Thames & Kosmos told TDmonthly.

With Physics Discovery, you can build 12 models and then conduct experiments with the models to learn about forces and simple machines. Each model demonstrates a fundamental idea in mechanical physics. For example, you can build a balance scale to learn about lever arms, a freight elevator to learn about pulleys, a bicycle to learn about wheels, a motion picture machine to learn about centripetal and centrifugal forces, and a transmission to learn about gears. Physics Discovery is a smaller, introductory companion to our best-selling Physics Workshop kit. It has different building projects and experiments, but parts that are compatible with those in Physics Workshop and Physics Solar Workshop. This kit includes more than 100 building pieces. The 32-page book offers illustrated instructions for building projects and experiments.

With a flash of light, kids' shadows are “caught” on a glowing screen — that’s the magic of Shadow Magic. The Shadow Magic Light Blaster emits a high-intensity flash of strobe light manually or automatically. The 23" by 28" sheet of vinyl has one side coated with a special photoluminescent material. This material captures the shadow of an object as it's exposed to the flash of light, hence the term glow-in-the-dark. The built-in penlight on the light blaster allows kids to "draw" on the glow screen. A door clip and string lets kids hang the screen on a door.

It's T-Rex versus T-Rex in an action packed battle royale. Just grab a T-Rex by the tail and control its moves. Attack or dodge your opponent as built-in sensors in the neck and head record hits.
