Parent's Choice Silver Honors 2006
A "Mech-nificent" Introduction to Mechanical Physics!
Gears, Wheels, Pulleys, Levers, Centripetal Forces & More! Build 12 fantastic models & conduct experiments you'll remember! A science kit to teach you all about forces and simple machines.
Each model demonstrates a fundamental idea in mechanical physics. For example, you can build a balanced scale to learn about lever arms, a freight elevator to learn about pulleys, a bicycle to learn about wheels, a motion picture machine to learn about centripetal and centrifugal forces, and a transmission to learn about gears.
Physics Discovery is a smaller, introductory companion to Physics Workshop kit. It has different building projects and experiments, but parts that are compatible with those in the Physics Workshop and Physics Solar Workshop.

As one of the top online toy retailers, we have access to unprecendented quantities of product review data. One of the key ways that we use this data is by associating our products to the specific ages and genders of the kids who are playing with them. Whereas most retailers must rely upon manufacturer suggested ages (i.e. 3+), we take actual customer usage and share it with you here so that you can choose the perfect toy or game.
But how does this help me? You can use these graphs as a general measure of it's appropriateness for a given age and gender. While this information is generally accurate, it should not be used as an absolute answer. For instance, many dinosaur toys are purchased for boys, however, that doesn't mean that it's inappropriate for a girl who happens to like dinosaurs.

NOTE: The orange color in the charts above indicate ages that are LESS than the manufacturer suggested age. Please purchase at your discretion if your child is younger than 8 years of age.

Nice set
Posted 12/12/2010 by Terri
Rating: 
I bought this for my son's 6th birthday. He really has enjoyed it and can make many of the models all on his own (without being able to read). He looks at the pictures in the booklet and figures it out. The plastic pieces are pretty good quality, the rubber band did break though (and we were not rough with it). Also, I wish that the paper pieces (like the one that covers the car model) were a bit thicker or laminated to make them last longer. Overall, it is a good set.
