We’ve Recently added two new green machines to our product line. These are made by 4M as part of their Green Science line. First up is the Solar Rover.
This rover is built around an empty soda can (reminiscent of our Tin Can Robot and the Soda Can Robug) that you recycle and is powered by […]
Its a bit hectic here, and there is snow falling (but not sticking….yet) so we are going to keep this short with a couple of nifty science videos:
First, a demo of the Photoelectric effect (props to Terry Price for pointing this one out):
and our own Homopolar Motor!
Enjoy!

The Fun Fly Stick is a great science toy we picked up this year. It is essentially a small Van De Graaf generator (you may remember those from science class - the big ball machines that made kids hair stand up from static electricity). This little Fun Fly Stick generates a much smaller charge, but […]
The Lumin Disk and its belt buckle cousin are very closely related to the classic Plasma Globe. The big difference is that the plasma ’streams’ are on a flat disk as opposed to inside a glass globe. This produces a different effect than the Plasma Globe as can be seen in the following video:
Lumin Disks […]
A homopolar motor is an easy and fun science project that takes only a few items to create.
Most of the items you probably have around the house already! The homopolar is a great way to demonstrate electromotive force.
To make a homopolar motor you will need the following items:
A Neodymium Magnet disk
A single AA Battery or […]
