A model of the Earth containing a strong magnet which creates an invisible exterior magnetic field similar to that of the Earth, and a hand held Magnetic Field Finder which is a three dimensional magnetic compass.

This block set allows children to use and learn Roman engineering principles to build an arch that seemingly defies gravity. A excellent introduction to architecture and gravity, which also teaches following instructions and problem solving. The set includes fixed sides and a support structure to enable the arch to be built.

A wooden framed 10cm plastic lens with 2x magnification and an inset lens with 3x magnification ideal for close observation. Use on the nature table, with shells for example, or to closely inspect fossils. Of course you will think up many more uses, and the children will think up a thousand more!

Hardwood frame with easy grip handles enclosing a concave and convex mirror. These produce fascinating reflections - upside down, larger and smaller reflections depending on which side you look in. Bring the concave mirror up really close and it acts as a wonderful magnifying mirror.

Children can see the position of the planets, in relation to the Earth and the Sun, using this model of the Solar System.

11 wooden disks printed on one side with beautiful clear photo realistic illustrations of our sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, our moon, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. The reverse is clearly printed with the name, diameter, average temperature and distance from the sun. The chunky discs are easy for children to hold, rotate, turn over and to stand upright.

Includes an informative colour printed guide in 8 languages and an A3 solar system colour poster.

There is also a hanging hole for suspending the discs like a solar system mobile.
