Flip and shake these tubes to make eerie space sounds. Decorated with space exploration graphics, simply tip this 40cm tube on its end to hear the mysterious warbling sounds. At the same time learn a thing or two about the science of sound.Ages: 4 +What you get40cm Deep Space Gravity Tube by Toysmith How does it work?Tilt the tube to a vertical position then gravity will set to work and pull the hollow plastic-plug inside the tube from the top to the bottom. As the plastic-plug moves, air rushes through and the air-stream is split by a metal bevel fixed in the center of the plastic-plug. This sends the air whirling inside the cavity of the tube, compressing and expanding before it final exits out the open end of the tube. This generates vibrations and the eerie space sound. Try blocking the tube opening with your finger and notice the sounds are either very muted or disappear as the air cant exit the tube.Teach Sound Properties of air Whistles - it works on the same principles as a whistle WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD - Small Parts. Not for children under 3 years.

This grasshopper is a little crazy. When the sun shines on its solar paneled back it jumps around all over the place. A great demonstration of a solar panel converting clean light energy from the sun into electricity. Have your students in fits of laughter as they learn about environmentally friendly sources of electricity.Age: 6 + What you getSolar powered grasshopper toy in a blister pack (grasshopper is approximately 4 cm from head to tail).How does it work?No batteries required, the suns light does all the work. When the grasshopper is in direct sunlight, the solar panel on its back converts the light energy into electrical energy. The generated electrical energy, in turn, powers the micro vibration motor causing this crazy critter to jump about. A strong artificial light source, like a spot light, can be used as an alternative to the sun. A unique, memorable way to learn about solar panels.Teach How solar cells convert the suns light energy into electrical energy. Using solar energy as a clean, environmentally friendly alternative to burning fossil fuels for electricity.

Hold the WHOLE world in your hands . . . By touching the balls metal strips and closing the circuit, the ball lights up and creates sound. An ingenious and inexpensive device to teach and learn about electricity. Or just for fun. Compulsive fiddlers will delight. Age: 7 + What you getWorld Energy Ball by Safari Ltd. in a blister packHow does it work?Teachers and students will LOVE this one. The challenge: how do you get electricity to flow through the circuit and the ball to pulsate with sound and light? There is no switch, just two metal electrodes. The World Energy Ball is an example of an open circuit. Upon investigation it will become obvious that when you touch the metal electrodes the electricity flows and the ball comes to life. By touching the electrodes you have closed the circuit, no more gaps means electrons can flow. Group demonstrations are always a hit: have everyone hold hands in a circle, then include the energy ball by having two people touch one electrode each. The electricity flows through everyone in the circle to light up the energy ball. What happens when someone lets go of the person next to them? A gap is created just like a switch. This demonstrates that people are good conductors of electricity, but what about other materials? Use the energy ball to find out.Teach Electricity and electrons Open and closed circuits Conductors and insulators ConnectivityFAQThe electrical energy comes from a battery already inside the World Energy Ball.WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD Small Parts.

What started as a classroom science experiment quickly turned into a world-wide internet sensation. Learn how to trigger an enormous geyser by dropping MENTOS chewy mints into a bottle of diet Coke using the Geyser Tube. The eruption is amazing . . . and so is the learning if you consider the science behind the fizz.Age: 8 + What you getSteve Splanglers Geyser Tube carded. Mentos not included. The easiest way to get the diet coke and Mentos experiment to work.How does it work?Each Mentos chewy mint has thousands of tiny pits all over the surface. These tiny pits are called nucleation sites perfect places for carbon dioxide bubbles already in the soda to form. As soon as the Mentos hit the soda, bubbles form all over the chewy mints and then quickly rise to the surface of the liquid. Couple this with the fact that the Mentos are heavy and sink to the bottom of the bottle and youve got a double-whammy. When all this gas is released, it literally pushes all the liquid up and out of the bottle in an incredible soda blast. Thats the simple explanation. Want to know the rest of the story? Visit www. GeyserTube.com to learn more about the science behind the Geyser Tube experiment.Teach Carbon dioxide gas Saturated solutions Gas pressure NucleationFAQWill I get wet?There is a possibility but the geyser tube device is designed to minimize the likelihood of getting wet, especially with the 3-foot long string.Is it reusable? Yes, all you need to do the experiment again is another pack of Mentos and a new bottle of Diet Coke.How high does it shoot? It all depends on the bottle of Diet Coke; a new bottle works better than one that has been sitting around for a while. On average though, it shoots to a little over 6 meters. Huge!What type of soda works best?We have experimented with all types of soda and the soda that gave us the best results was Diet Coke due to having the most carbonation. However, any soda or carbonated beverage will work.Does it hold the entire roll?No, the maximum that the tube holds is 11. The roll is 14 so you can snack on the other three!! We found that 7-10 Mentos produces the highest Geyser.CAUTION: Keep soda out of eyes.WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD Small Parts. Not for children under 3 years.

Everyone wants a slinky. This is the Original Plastic Slinky sold since 1945. Watch your colourful slinky walk its way down stairs or just juggle it back and forth in your hands. This clever spring is also great for simulating the properties of different waves, including sound waves.Age: 5 + What You Get Original Plastic Slinky, 10cm in diameter. Colours vary. How does it work? Sound waves are created by vibrations and transmitted through matter in all directions. But it's hard learning about sound waves when you can't see them. This is where your new plastic slinky comes in. Not only are slinkies fun, but they can be used to demonstrate longitudinal sound waves. In the classroom (or anywhere for that matter), make a longitudinal wave by stretching a slinky between two students. One should hold their end as motionless as possible - perhaps against their chest or stomach for support. The student holding the other end should pull several coils towards themselves. Then watch as a longitudinal sound wave travels back and forth along the length of the slinky. As alternative to pulling coils, try having one student tap their end of the stretched, still slinky with their finger or pencil. The same wave effect is created. Slinkies can also be used to demonstrate other waves, like traverse and standing. A traverse wave is an example of a water wave. To demonstrate, stretch a slinky between two students, and have one move their end of the slinky left and right very quickly. The other end should be held still. To create a standing wave, move one end of a stretched, still slinky back and forth at constantly changing rates. A number of waves will travel through the slinky and reflect back on themselves. Teach Waves: longitudinal, traverse and standing.Sound waves.Inertia, gravity, potential and kinetic energy as it moves down stairs.Centrifugal force. Swing the slinky around your head gradually increasing speed. The position of the coils shows the resultant force formed by two simultaneous forces: gravity and the outward, horizontal centrifugal force.
