Physics Pro is our biggest, most advanced physics kit. With this kit,
you can continue your study of statics and dynamics from previous
lessons and begin your study of more advanced topics in physics,
including fluid dynamics, energy, oscillation, hydraulics, and
pneumatics.
By adding advanced topics like fluid dynamics to
your physics repertoire, you can now build some really spectacular
models and devices, such as a wind tunnel, pneumatic shocks, and a
hydraulic lift. You will see how physics extends far beyond the
classroom, giving us an amazing set of tools that can be applied in the
real world to engineer marvelous things.
The main focus of the
kit is the behavior of the two most important fluids in our world —
water and air — and objects immersed in them. You will investigate how
air and water rest and flow, what they can carry and how they move. With
experiments and models, you will find out what forces work on them and
what kinds of energy they possess. You will learn how ships float and
airplanes fly, why a streamlined shape lets a car drive faster and how
power plants convert a current of water into electrical current.
The
96-page, full-color experiment manual has two major sections. In the
first part, you will enter the physics lab, where you will get to know
the properties of air and water and become familiar with currents and
energy. There is a series of 17 experiments in which you will start
building smaller models. In the second part, you will move on to the
workshop, where you will build 14 larger models of complex real-world
devices. More than 213 parts are included in this kit, which are
compatible with all of our other Physics kits.
Ages 10 and up.
