The materials contain a clown shape to colour in and cut out. The shape is then weighted with steel washers and balanced on a taut piece of string. Once...
Balloon Buggies
From the Centre for Science Education, and with support from Shell Education services, these materials help children to investigate forces and motion.
A wide variety of buggies can be constructed and powered by a jet of air escaping from a balloon. Such a vehicle may run for a distance of 20 to 30 metres...
Cartesian Divers
From the Centre for Science Education, and with support from Shell Education services, these materials help children to consider questions relating to gases, pressure, floating and sinking. A Cartesian diver is a simple toy that works using the same principles as a submarine. It modifies its buoyancy to make it...
