Manufacturer: Thames & Kosmos
The Thames and Kosmos Physic Workshop is one of the best science kits you can buy for under $50. This kit comes with 36 models to build, starting with the most elementary and graduating to more complex experiments as you work through them. It’s a pretty effective toy, and I hate to simply call it an educational toy, as it’s a lot more as anyone working through the projects will learn quite a bit about Newtonian mechanics.
Worth noting is that you probably should heed the age recommendation on this one. It says for 8 and up and that’s about right in this case. A kid any younger than that probably wouldn’t get much benefit. But on the other side, the more advanced experiments would be good for teenagers as well. Also worth mentioning is that the instruction manual with this science kit is exceptional. Very detailed and explicit, in color, and walks you through all 73 experiments with the efficiency of a physics professor.
Overall: highly recommended. A great value for the cost.
I concur with the original reviewer. This is an awesome kit!
