Physics: The Science of Matter & Energy
Force = mass x acceleration - And don't forget to factor in the fun!


Sure, you've probably heard of a chemistry set. But a physics set? This is something new. Like chemistry, physics is an essential science for everyone to study, and Physics Workshop is the essential introduction to physics.

Through building 36 models and 37 experiments (with 305 building pieces), the principles of physics are at work before your very eyes.

Why does a brick feel heavier than a pencil? At what angle should you throw a ball into the air to get the greatest distance? How is a screw like a ramp? Why can you balance more easily on a bicycle when you are moving than when you are stopped? How does a car transfer power from the engine to the wheels? What is power anyway? Gravity, force, simple machines, acceleration, momentum, work, and power are all demonstrated right in front of you--a hands-on approach that is fun and effective.

Physics Education in an Outstanding Kit

    Great toy. Andrew really enjoys playing with the different parts and making new things. Best of all, he is learning and doesn't realize it.

    Well Received!
    Posted 1/2/2013 by Heather Pedersen

    My son won't play with action figures or building toys so it is always a challenge to find toys that will stimulate his mind. Once he puts a building set together, he doesn't see the purpose in playing with it anymore. We feel the Physics Workshop was money well spent and we see our son wanting to run the experiments in this kit. He really likes the science behind the toy. It came with a pamphlet listing more toys from this brand and he is very interested in getting his hands on those, too.
