Natural Science Kits
Types of Forces
Follow the Instruction manual alongside the pieces in the box to build your ramp and pulley system, and then conduct awesome experiments in class or at home, exploring different types of forces.
Sustainable Energy
Follow the Instruction manuals alongside the elements in the box to build your very own solar plane and fan, where the propellers/ fan are powered by a solar panel!
Try and think about the uses of solar energy in transport, and what the pros and cons could possibly be?
Light & the Colour Spectrum
Follow the Instruction manual alongside the elements in the box to conduct awesome experiments in class exploring Light and the Colour Spectrum. You will build both a Spectroscope and a Periscope, and use them to investigate and observe the different properties of light!
Series & Parallel Circuits
Follow the Instruction manual alongside the elements in the box to conduct awesome experiments in class exploring different types of series and parallel circuits. See what the differences are between the 2, and how it affects the components in the circuit.
