Welcome to Spy Labs Incorporated, the one-stop shop for spies on the top! With this well-equipped toolkit, you can learn how detectives use forensic science to answer questions, gather evidence, and solve crimes. Experiment with the equipment and techniques used by real detectives to develop your own observation and problem-solving skills. First, you will set up your detective’s office and organize your tools. Then, you will do some exercises to hone your observation skills. Next, you will learn about securing a crime scene, and gathering and documenting evidence, including fingerprints, footprints, and tire tracks. After you have gathered evidence, such as hair and fibers, counterfeit currency, and soil samples, you will head back to the lab to learn how to analyze it. Finally, you can try your hand at deciphering codes, writing messages with invisible ink, and communicating with secret symbols. As your skills develop, you can use them to solve the practice cases.

Blinded by Science is for people who understand the meaning of deoxyribonucleic acid.  Curie, Darwin, Galileo, Tesla, Turing...if these are some of your heroes, then this game is for you! Each card covers a different scientific subject, and includes three questions with increasing degrees of difficulty. If you're a trivia buff and science is your thing, then this game is probably in your DNA.

The Daily Warm-Ups series is a wonderful way to turn extra classroom minutes into valuable learning time. The 180 quick activities--one for each day of the school year--practice science skills. These daily activities may be used at the very beginning of class to get students into learning mode, near the end of class to make good educational use of that transitional time, in the middle of class to shift gears between lessons--or whenever else you have minutes that now go unused.

The Daily Warm-Ups series is a wonderful way to turn extra classroom minutes into valuable learning time. The 180 quick activities--one for each day of the school year--review, practice, and teach life-science topics. These daily activities may be used at the very beginning of class to get students into learning mode, near the end of class to make good educational use of that transitional time, in the middle of class to shift gears between lessons--or whenever else you have minutes that now go unused. In addition to providing students with fascinating life-science activities, they are a natural path to other classroom activities involving critical thinking.

Time after time, experience shows that learning by manipulating physical objects with one’s own hands — learning by doing things firsthand, rather than being told about them or reading about them in a book — is extremely effective. Thames & Kosmos has a long history of incorporating this principle into science education. Now, we are bringing this experience to the Kids First Math line, a series of nine hands-on kits with activity cards or lesson guides designed to demonstrate and teach concepts in mathematics, as well as other skills such as logical thinking, problem solving, and creative thinking.

A brilliant book to introduce little ones to the wonders of science, from the human body, weather and seasons to forces, space, animals and plants. With simple text, charming illustrations and Usborne Quicklinks to specially selected websites with easy science experiments and online activities.

Build and feed the Moneyy Bank Robot and watch it snap its jaws with every bite.

Detailed instruction included in the Kit.

All the parts needed to build the robot is available in the Kit.

Requires two AAA batteries (not included).

Recommended for age 8 years and up.

Boost your kid's imagination with great 4M toys.

Finding new ways to reuse our natural resources is a challenging problem. This Clean Water Science kit allows kids to explore ways of reusing water. They will filter dirty water to make it clean, experiment with distillation to make clean water, and use solar energy to purify water.

The 12 pp. color manual provides instructions for performing the three experiments, ideas for additional experiments with the kit, asks thought provoking questions, and provides background information on water, filtration, distillation and pasteurization. You provide a few common household items, like soil, cooking oil, drinking glass, ice cubes, etc. Each experiment can be performed three times.

Ages 8 and up.

Adult supervision is required.

Build and program an amazing robotic buddy!

Discover the world of robotics — an exciting, interdisciplinary field combining physics, engineering, and computer science. This kit gives kids a simple, fun, and customizable introduction to robotics. Choose between the four-wheeled rover or the two-wheeled robot Sidekick, and get programming! Transform your Sidekick into its other mode any time you want.

As soon as your Sidekick is assembled, you can begin programming its movements directly on a built-in keypad. You can also download the free Sidekick app (Android or iOS) to unlock all of the Sidekick’s capabilities.

You control your Sidekick’s movements, sounds, and even facial expressions. Have fun and drive your Sidekick by remote control or by using your device as a gyroscope.

Code programs for your Sidekick using an easy, visual interface or the simulator, which are both included in the app. Your Sidekick is tons of fun! It can even play music and dance.

Choose from several styles of music and watch your Sidekick bust a move. Sidekick’s microcontroller — the robot’s “brain” — has separate inputs for LED lights, a speaker, two motors (left and right), a battery, and an infrared sensor that helps the Sidekick know where it is in the included maze game.

As you assemble this robot, you will learn how the Sidekick’s functions relate to each of these elements. Learn about the history of robotics and real-word roving explorers and humanoid robots.

A full-color, 36-page step-by step illustrated manual helps kids assemble both of the models and use all of the functions of the app — all while teaching them about robotics in the real world.

The app requires a tablet (recommended) or smartphone running iOS or Android. Please check the app stores for compatibility and device requirements.

These dynamic resources provide guided lessons to integrate project-based learning into your science, technology, engineering, and math curriculum. Each unit provides background information for teachers and students and moves from teacher-directed activities toward more open-ended activities. The culminating activity in each unit allows students to design their own unique “invention” or conduct an experiment of their own creation. Students will be challenged to work collaboratively, using a design process that helps them “step into STEM” with greater competence and confidence.
