This well-made plastic siren/whistle, a touch over 3/4" in diameter and a similar touch under 2" long, has a perforated metal disk that rotates in response to a silent blast from the perpetrator's lungs. This creates a high-pitched, loud and certainly distinctive siren-sound that picks up pitch in relation to the air velocity, sustains it as long as your wind holds out, and winds down quickly thereafter. A fine way to signal your arrival or departure. Probably not loud enough to collect the clan at the beach, but loud enough to get their attention in the classroom! The size makes it hard, but not impossible, to swallow, so please use care in teaching youngsters to sound like a miniature air raid siren.

Fun with little pix. This photo cube set has (6) 1-3/8" square frames (think passport or drivers' license pix) with a magnet on each corner plus (8) 1/2" dia magnetic balls to grab on and make a cube, string, model of a molecular structure, or peculiar shape of your choice like a family tree.

Simple, yet clever 1" dia. by 3" long plastic device to demonstrate the vortex effect of a tornado. Partially fill with water one of the two half-gallon size plastic soda bottles which you supply. Screw the bottles into opposite ends of the tube which we supply. Tip so the full bottle is on top and give it a circular starting whirl. Presto! You have a vortex. Call it a tornado if you're a meteorologist, a Charybdis if you're a classicist, or a whirlpool if you're into oceanography. Lots of fun and a fine opportunity to attempt to explain the effects of the earth's rotation on water draining out of a bathtub. The phenomena are related we're told, but good luck!!

You can't help but laugh at Larry the Slider, a green dancing fool who waves his jazzy little white-gloved hands, wiggles his head and drops into the splits when you wind him up. Push him sideways and he slides like a music-video fool. At 4" tall, with a smiley face and big yellow feet, he's definitely the funniest wind-up toy we have.

Turn on the 19" long wand and watch the shapes float and dance at your command. Takes a little practice (it's levitation, for Pete's sake) but provides hours of magical fun. You add a couple "AA" batteries and a little practice guided by the 10pp instruction booklet. And if the dog eats the shapes, a full set of refills are available.
