Physics Workshop
Why is it easier to balance on a bicycle when you're moving than when you're stopped? How do you build a hammer machine? Explore the science of energy and matter with the Physics Workshop from Thames & Kosmos, an excellent kit for anyone eight or over. A very well-written 64pp instruction book guides you through (36) different building projects and (37) different experiments, using the (305) pieces that come in the kit, the single "C" battery that you provide to power the DC motor that's included and, occasionally, a few common household items.

Who? Who?
Owl pellets, that's who! Or whom, actually, but owls can't say whom. No lips. A perennial favorite, these are the all-natural regurgitated balls of fur and bones that are the leftovers of the owl dining community. You'll get three rather large pellets from a barn owl, along with a small acrylic magnifier, a pair of 5" long forceps, a bone ID chart and 10pp instruction booklet explaining how to dissolve the pellets and reassemble the (usually) complete small rodent skeletons that the owl couldn't manage to digest. We also recommend going to www.kidwings.com to see a virtual dissection and learn more about these fascinating and educational little beauties.

The set comes with approx (75) eggs (that's a lotta pseudo pond primates), a year's supply of food, a pouch of water purifier, a 6" x 4-3/8" x 2-3/4" habitat with embedded magnifying lenses (because lagoon baboons are tiny), a glow-in-the-dark creature to keep the monkeys company, a food scoop, a small flashlight, a 2" magnifier, a bellows-type cleaning/monkey-moving syringe, and instructions.
