Thames & Kosmos Gyroscope Science Kit

Did you know that gyroscopes are used everywhere – from smartphones and airplanes to telescopes and the International Space Station? This timeless scientific instrument has been updated and now invites children to explore the amazing powers of physics with their own hands. It's not just a toy, it's a spinning wheel that magically defies gravity!

With this set, you can perform classic physics tricks and understand the principles of gyroscopic motion. Learn to balance a spinning gyroscope on a table, on a special stand, or even on the tip of your finger!. The set also includes a clear plastic sphere – place the gyroscope inside it and watch it work in a confined space. When you're done playing, the sphere becomes a great storage box.

Physics in Your Hands: Learn what angular momentum is and why spinning objects try to maintain their orientation.

Classic Tricks: Learn to make the gyroscope balance in unbelievable positions – on a string, a stand, or the tip of a pen.

Gyro in a Sphere: The set includes a special transparent sphere where the gyroscope can spin and roll, demonstrating impressive forces.

Quality Design: The gyroscope has a weighted rotor at its center, whose high mass allows it to spin longer and more stably.

Laws of Physics: Children get hands-on experience with gyroscopic motion, gravity, and angular momentum.

Fine Motor Skills and Coordination: Properly and quickly spinning the gyroscope using the string requires dexterity and practice.

Experimentation: The set encourages various experiments (e.g., "Spinning Box"), observing results, and asking "why?" questions.

Balance: Children explore how rotation affects an object's stability (similar to riding a bicycle).

Curious children (aged 8 and up) interested in scientific curiosities.

Physics teachers or parents who want to visually demonstrate complex laws.
