Hands-On Science Kits

It's time for a gut check!
There’s a reason Squishy Human Body has been the best-selling anatomy toy for over 10 years — it’s Squishy! This 12-inch-tall interactive model features nine removable squishy organs that feel like the real thing. Kids can squeeze the squishy heart and lungs, remove the squishy brain, and even uncoil the squishy intestines! Featuring 21 removable organs, bones, and muscles in a clear plastic shell, Squishy Human Body allows young doctors-in-training to dissect and rebuild the human body, again and again, using forceps and tweezers.
The handy organ-izer sheet keeps all the removable parts together for easy assembly. The stand allows kids to proudly display their assembled model on a shelf or desktop. The illustrated 24-page book takes a light-hearted approach to anatomy by following a slice of pizza as it travels through the body and interacts with different organs. The book features photos of real organs, engaging illustrations, and answers to common body function questions — even the gross ones!
Includes two-piece clear plastic human body model with a stand, 9 removable squishy organs, 12 removable hard plastic bones & muscles, forceps, tweezers, body part Organ-Izer sheet, instructions sheet, and a 24-page illustrated Anatomy Book.
Although the book is written for slightly older children, this best-selling anatomy toy is appropriate for children ages 5 and up.

Build a motorized robot, race car, and countdown timer — all that run without any batteries or electrical power!

The secret behind these fascinating machines is a power source called a mainspring — a spiral-shaped spring that stores up energy when wound up by hand, and then converts that stored energy back into motion when it discharges. The mainspring inside the robot turns gears which enable it to march forward on two legs. The race car zooms across the floor as its mainspring uncoils and turns its wheels. The countdown timer uses a more complex system of springs, gears, ratchets, and linkages to slowly tick down the seconds as it discharges — for a countdown of up to six minutes. As you assemble these models one at a time from over 130 pieces, you will learn about the inner workings of spring-powered devices like wind-up toys and ticking mechanical clocks.

The Snap FM Radio kit allows you to build a radio that really works!

You can make 4 projects!

Requires 3x AA batteries (not included)

Suitable for age 8 and up

Snap Circuits® uses electronic blocks that snap onto a clear plastic base grid to build different circuits. These blocks have different colors and numbers on them so that you can easily identify them. Build the circuit shown by placing all the parts with a black 1 next to them on the clear plastic base grid first. Then, assemble parts marked with a 2, then parts marked with a 3, and finally, parts marked with a 4. Note that there is a 3-snap wire between the FM module (FM) and the speaker (SP), partially hidden. Install three (3) “AA” batteries (not included) into the battery holder (B3).

Turn on the slide switch (S1) and press the R button on the FM module (FM). Now press the T button and the FM module scans for a radio station. When a station is found, it locks on to it and you hear it on the speaker (SP). Adjust the volume using the adjustable resistor (RV). The resistor controls the amount of signal into the power amplifier (U4). Press the T button again for the next radio station. The module will scan up to 108MHz, the end of the FM band, and stop. You must then press the R button to reset at 88MHz again.
