Tornado Tube
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!!

Quite A Kit
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
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.

What a concept! A 2" x 2" x 2" cube with a clever mechanism inside and each of its (6) sides made up of (9) brightly colored plastic cubes. Twist and turn the cube(s) to mix up the colors, then do it again to return each side to a single, solid color. Hmm. Colors of the movable cubes are white, blue, green, yellow, red - and pink!
