Half Past Banana
Resist the urge to just plug the electrodes into a nectarine and tell people what a sweet little clock you have. Read the few enclosed pages of background material and the explanation of the electrochemical reaction in an organic battery, and stagger your fans with your brilliance. Schylling's Fruit-Powered Clock kit also includes a 2-1/4" x 1-1/4" LCD clock/calendar, leads, a jumper wire, a stand, and complete instructions. You supply the fresh fruit. (It also works with a potato. Ain't science wonderful?) A great teaching device for 8-year-olds and up. No soldering required.

My, What A Deep Voice You Have!
Our little electronic voice-modulating kit is perfect for wolves imitating grandmothers as well as for robotic voices, party tricks, karaoke enhancement, or hiding from your mother when she calls. Medium level electronics knowledge and some soldering required (solder not included). Has a module with high, low, robot and vibrato modes, which means you too can sound like Whitney Houston, sort of. Includes an electronic microphone. You add a 9V battery and a small 4-ohm speaker (although it can be wired to use a line-out). Draws 300mA at 9VDC and is based on an HT8950 chip.

Quite A Kit
We're really charged up about this modular Electronic Lab from Maxitronix(tm) that appeals to both girls and boys. The 4-in-1 set of interactive action kits includes colorful 5-1/2" x 3" x 1-1/8" plastic housings and components to build an electric bell, motor, generator and meter. As the manual says, they're "safe, solderless, educational and fun!" And the manual is the best we've ever seen. Every part and every step is illustrated and labeled (it doesn't presume you can tell an egg lug from a tapping screw), and it explains HOW each experiment works. Kids trying out the 10 suggested experiments learn to reverse a motor's direction, operate the bell or motor with the generator, use the meter to measure electricity and more. Requires (2) "AA" batteries (not included). This is an exceptional set for boys and girls aged 10 and up.

Tracker
If you want to engineer a satellite tracking system someday, you have to start somewhere. How about learning circuitry with a Line-Tracking Mouse? This 6" x 4-1/2" robot has a transparent mouse-shaped plastic case over its electronics, making him almost 3" tall. He has (3) photo interrupters that project infrared rays and distinguish between black and white. Assemble him and watch him follow a black stripe that you've drawn on white paper. The challenging kit involves soldering, but contains illustrated instructions and all the necessary electronic and mechanical parts to complete it. You provide household tools, soldering equipment, and (4) "AA" batteries. Only for ages 12 and up. Basic soldering skills required.

Metal Detector For The Short
The only thing that makes this metal detector a toy is the length of the wand (approx 29") which means that full-sized grown-ups may find themselves stooping a bit. That, plus it's lime green and orange, otherwise, it's the best-working toy detector we've ever seen, sensing keys a full 10" away. Has a power switch, adjustable sensitivity, and breaks down into (4) pieces for storage, with solid, metal screw-together extensions. The coil is 5" dia x 12" long, and can be removed for use as a hand wand, in case you're opening your own airport or training the kids for the TSA. Uses (1) 9V battery, not included. No earphone attachment.
