Physics For Kids

At the company, you can find all sorts of fascinating items that allow kids to have fun while learning about physics. What kid, for instance, wouldn’t like to pull out a pen to take a spelling quiz and have it boil in his fingers? The Fingerboiler Pen demonstrates heat transfer and expansion as warmth from your hand causes the liquid inside to bubble and rise into the clear globe on top.

Gyroscopes are fun, but we have some with extra refinements. The X-Zylo Ultra, for instance, is a flying gyroscope that can easily travel more than 200 yards! The Levitron Anti-Gravity Top spins amazingly in mid-air, with the help of two opposing magnets and the gyroscopic effect. It comes with complete instructions and an explanation of the science involved. In no time, you can learn to keep it levitating for longer periods and even make it do tricks.

The Quark Ultra High Performance Spinning Top spins on a surface like a regular top, but instead of the typical spin of 30 to 45 seconds, this on can spin for more than a quarter of an hour! That’s because of the precision of its parts and imaginative engineering. The top is made of brass, with a tip of carbon steel, one of the hardest substances we have. That keeps the tip from wearing, and keeps the top spinning longer.

The Vortx is a personal-size version of the coin drop machines sometimes seen in malls. Drop a coin and watch it spin faster and faster until it finally drops into the bank at the bottom. Instructions explain how it works and tell how to make the coin spin in reverse, or even upside down. The record for a continuous spin stands at more than 33 hours!
