Cool Science and Discovery Toys
Kids learn best when they don’t know they’re learning. Science and discovery toys are great because they teach children how things work in a comfortable and non-intimidating way. All of these toys are for school aged children and will keep their minds fresh over the summer break and help them to get ready for the new school year.

Thames & Kosmos Wind Power $39.99
Build a working wind turbine to harness power out of thin air. Wind is one of the most promising sources of clean, renewable energy available today. Wind energy has been used for centuries to pump water and crush grain in windmills, and is now increasingly being used to generate electricity to power our modern world. Kids can conduct more than 20 experiments with the wind turbine, including experiments with different numbers of rotor blades, different blade angles and profiles, different wind speeds, different gear ratios, and so on. Use the wind turbine to generate mechanical power to lift a heavy weight, or generate electricity to light up an LED and charge a rechargeable battery.
With these toys, your children will soon be off the couch and out exploring instead!
