Balloon powered boat toy: Bathtub science kit. Code TS6454

Hard to find but great to have! These balloon powered boats are great for demonstrating thrust and consequent motion but obviously kids just like playing with them in the local creek or pool!
Choking hazard: Not suitable for children 3 years and under.

Diving Sub: Classic 1950's cereal box toy! Code TS798010

We love this science toy by Toysmith! Simply fill the bubble chamber with baking powder and place it in water. As the denser than water sub sinks water enters the bubble chamber, allowing the baking soda to react... producing carbon dioxide bubbles and the sub rises again. This process can repeat several times.
Choking hazard: Not suitable for children 3 years and under.

Experilab Treasure diver by Experilab: Make a cartesian diver. Code EX3113

Whether you know him as 'Scuba Steve' or 'Diver Dan', the cartesian diver experiment is an old favourite that has demonstrated pressure in science classrooms for years. Floating in a bottle of water, when you squeeze the bottle, the diver sinks to the bottom. All you need is a bottle. Solid, simple science.
Choking hazard: Not suitable for children 3 years and under.

Flying saucer balloons by Rabbit Balloons: Spin me around! Code TL7334

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction... for these balloons they spin around and around as pushes them along. Comes as packet of 4 balloons.

Foucault's Pendulum: Pattern in the sand... Code HJ6120

Make pretty pictures in the sand as the pendulum bob swings back and forth. Try experimenting with the angle of release to create strange patterns based on harmonics! We've got ours next the water cooler.

Choking hazard: Not suitable for children 3 years and under.

Helicopter spiral top: Push and watch it fly!
Code HJ2112

Such a classic toy! The spiral acts as a gear that spins the helicopter blades fast enough generate a lot of lift. Most kids can get it to fly at least 5 metres in the air! How to use; thread the small cylinder over the spiral and then place the helicopter on top of the cylinder. Now simply push the cylinder upwards! Comes with three separate plastic parts that need to be assembled together.
Choking hazard: Not suitable for children 3 years and under.

Hi-bounce ball kit: Make them then bounce them!
Code IS006

A simple science toy you can make in under five minutes. Use the non-toxic crystals to mould a super ball with a bit of water. You can make three different shapes - explore how each differs in their bouncing as well as the chemistry of polymers.
Choking hazard: Not suitable for children 3 years and under.

Onager: By the Dangerous Books for Boys series

Known by many as a catapult, this kit allows you to put together your own onager that really works! Contains all the pre-cut and pre-drilled pieces you need to make a scale model of the siege machine from medieval times. No batteries required.
Finished model measures 245mm x 150mm x 280mm.
Choking hazard: For children 8 years and under.

Pearl Swirlies Water Ball: Mesmorizing! Code IS1209

A ball with a difference! Inside is rheoscopic fluid, which allows you to see how liquid currents swirl around and around. Useful for demonstrations on inertia or even convection currents (keep away from strong heat sources)!
Choking hazard: Not suitable for children 3 years and under. Ball size is 65mm.

Pet tornado: Create a tornado in a bottle
Code TE80953

Turn the bottle upside down so the curved end is towards the ground, give it a quick twirl with your hand and watch the tornado form inside the fluid. Great for exploring inertia. Provides additional information on wind speed and destructive power.
Choking hazard: Not suitable for children 3 years and under.

Pop balls by Peterfish: A classic on storing an releasing energy. Code PF001

Turn the ball in side out to store energy in the ball. Now drop the ball from a height and watch the ball spring back into the air! Great demonstration for potential and kinetic energy at a decent price.
Choking hazard: Not suitable for children 3 years and under.

Rubber band paddle boat: Wind it up! Code TS6467

Store energy in the rubber band by winding it up...place the boat in the water and watch it go!
Choking hazard: Not suitable for children 3 years and under.

Space Wonder Gyroscope by Navir: Classic rotational toy. Code 6594

Demonstrates rotational inertia very well... i.e. the faster it spins, the harder it is to change it's 'angle of spin'. Great for classroom discussion on centripetal forces and conservation of angular momentum as well!

For children aged 5 and up.

Trebuchet: By the Dangerous Books for Boys series

Assemble your own trebuchet that really works! Contains all the pre-cut and pre-drilled pieces you need to make a scale model of the siege machine used to take down castle walls. No batteries required. Finished model measures 250mm x 145mm x 460mm.
Choking hazard: For children 8 years and under.

Tumbling bugs by Independence Studios: Sticky wall bugs that tumble down!
