This broad, dynamic field encompasses the design, development, and testing of basically anything that moves—from tools and devices to bridges and spaceships. This action-packed introductory kit explores the science of machines and vehicles with 20 building projects. A durable, reusable building system can be combined and reconfigured into fun and functional models that include a tightrope walker, elevator, crane, windmill, and all-wheel drive ATV. Use the assembled models to conduct 22 hands-on experiments that demonstrate important lessons like forces, gravity, storing and converting energy. The 80-page, full-color manual provides step-by-step illustrated assembly instructions and clear, thorough explanations of the “why” and “how” of each experiment. The blend of interactive models, easily digestible facts, and real-world examples delivers a comprehensive science kit that is both entertaining and educational. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFrom the Brand\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv style=\\\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0;margin:0;padding:0;line-height:0;font-size:0;\\\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\\\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/S\/aplus-media-library-service-media\/c3b21ee1-13b0-42d7-a960-02f2d4174ebd.__CR0,0,1464,625_PT0_SX1464_V1___.jpg\\\" style=\\\"flex:1 1 auto;min-width:120px;max-width:100%;height:auto;object-fit:contain;margin:0!important;padding:0!important;display:block;border:0;vertical-align:top;line-height:0;\\\" loading=\\\"lazy\\\" \/\u003e\u003cimg src=\\\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/S\/aplus-media-library-service-media\/a38a5cea-5f2e-41be-9048-d35249498dce.__CR0,0,315,145_PT0_SX315_V1___.jpg\\\" style=\\\"flex:1 1 auto;min-width:120px;max-width:100%;height:auto;object-fit:contain;margin:0!important;padding:0!important;display:block;border:0;vertical-align:top;line-height:0;\\\" loading=\\\"lazy\\\" \/\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt Thames \u0026amp; Kosmos, our goal is to provide fun, wholesome, educational experiences for kids and families of all shapes and sizes!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor over 200 years, our global family of companies has been refining the process of developing creative and innovative ways to inspire children—and adults!—to discover their world, ask questions, and try things for themselves, all with the goal of transforming that curiosity into knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eHow did we get our start?\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThames \u0026amp; Kosmos was founded in 2001 when a Rhode Island science museum director and her son partnered with a 200-year-old German publishing house to fulfill the great need for science education materials that were more stimulating, effective, relevant—and of course, fun!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eHow do we support our products?\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur full-time team of in-house product experts is professional, knowledgeable, and responsive.
