In the past, we have carried things similar to Water Marbles, but they were smaller, you didn’t get as many, and were higher priced. But now we carry the Water marbles and took this opportunity to show you them in action!
First we started with a Erlenmeyer flask, about 1/2 filled with water:
The we poured in […]
OK, we admit. Today we have a case of the dumb. Can’t think enough to write up something important or even keep proper sentence structure. So instead we will post a few nifty science videos.
First a little fun and description of Supercooled water:
How about some of the beauty that is Ferro-Fluids? This manipulation is […]
Not only is this a great demonstration of the relative speed of orbits between the planets (and dwarf planets) but it is also a great little music-maker as well! Gives you a sense of how long a year is for the further solar system objects. Sure, the orbits aren’t ellipses but this is art, dangit!

Spectrum has recently added TimberKits to our product line. These are impressive wooden models that move at the turn of a crank:
This is the drummer kit, perhaps one of the most impressive, but hardly the only model. Spectrum also carries the Dragon, the T-Rex (or TimberSaur) and Ocean Motion.
You do the model assembly yourself, […]
Frankly, you just aren’t going to have this kind of fun for just $3.99. That’s less than $1 per colorful finger light!

A couple of popular books we sell are Gallop and the more human oriented Swing. Both of these books use a nifty technology called Scanimation to produce the appearance of motion.
Scanimation is actually a new twist on an old optics technique known as Moire Patterns, where sets of parallel lines placed over each other […]
OK, we admit it, we tried to make out own version of this: The set of 216 magnets known most popularly as BuckyBalls.
There was nothing wrong with our version, but when we go a much better offer to carry the BuckyBalls we decided to go ahead with it from now on. There were several […]
