Handheld Mini Microscope

This compact, pocket-sized microscope is great in the house with lint and fabric and dead bugs but even better on a walk in the park getting up-close and personal with beetles, worms and all manner of nature's critters.

Recommended ages 8 and up.

The scientific genius of Leonardo da Vinci is brought to life in this easy to assemble snap-together plastic multiple sling.

Taken from the pages of da Vinci’s priceless and awe-inspiring notebooks, this model is made of plastic and requires no special tools.

The manual is very educational and teach how these inventions have evolved into what they are today.

Leonardo da Vinci’s idea was to build a very powerful machine, which could throw eight large projectiles at the same time.

He positioned eight long arms in a circle around a central pin, each of which had a sling capable of throwing a projectile attached to it.

This kind of project, where weapons were developed to hurl multiple projectiles to be more powerful, was common in Da Vinci’s time, because doing this meant creating more powerful weapons, simply by increasing their number and power, without the need to develop new building techniques and using familiar materials.

They were therefore potentially attractive weapons because they were powerful, but they were also relatively inexpensive.

Recommended for ages 8 and up.

The book and science kit in one delivers rocket-propelled fun with four easy-to-assemble vehicles.

Race a sturdy cardstock hot rod across the floor,  glide A hovercraft over the dining table or take flight with a helicopter and blast off with an only from Klutz balloon powered rocket.

Remarkable salt water fuel technology invades the city!

A few drops of salt water and magnesium "fuel" generate a new form of clean energy.

Cams and swing arms allow for full throttle excitement with powerful straight runs, right or left circling and radical "S" turns.

The kit contains plastic car parts, a motor, gears, shaft, eyedropper, air cathode, nonwoven fabric and a magnesium sheet.

Recommended ages 8 and up.

• What is AR? AR (or augmented reality) is the integration of digital information with the user's environment in real time. Unlike virtual reality, which creates a totally artificial environment, augmented reality uses the existing environment and overlays new information on top of it using a digital device such as a smartphone or tablet. For ages 8 and up. WARNING: Contains small parts. Not for children under age 3.
