Experiment with the gyroscope to learn about the physics of motion, forces, and gravity. Discover gyroscopic forces firsthand - and see and feel them in action. Have fun getting your gyroscope to do classic physics tricks. Make it balance on a tabletop, on a stand, on your fingertip, and even on a string. Spin the gyroscope inside the included clear plastic sphere to feel the forces acting on the sphere as you roll it - and when playtime is over, the sphere doubles as a storage case for your gyroscope. The gyroscope has a 3-inch diameter and is made of durable plastic and metal. The kit includes a clear plastic sphere (which also functions as a stand and storage case), a 30-inch string, and a 6-page instruction manual with 5 experiments. Recommended for ages 8 and up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTIMELESS INSTRUMENT, NEW DESIGN: A classic gyroscope reimagined in a fresh, modern style. Spin it up and watch the weighted central rotor demonstrate the surprising physics of angular momentum, balance, and gyroscopic motion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSEE AND FEEL THE FORCES: Experience the same principles that keep bicycles upright, stabilize airplanes, and steer the International Space Station. The heavy rotor builds greater angular momentum, so it spins longer and resists tipping.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 CLASSIC PHYSICS TRICKS: Balance the spinning gyroscope on the included stand, on your fingertip, on a taut string, inside the sphere, and even on a box corner. The pull-string starter gets it spinning fast and smooth every time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA SPHERE THAT DOES IT ALL: The clear plastic sphere works three ways - spin the gyroscope inside it to feel the forces through your hand, use it as a display stand, and store the gyroscope safely inside when you're done.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBUILT TO TEACH, BUILT TO LAST: Durable plastic-and-metal construction with a 3-inch rotor, 30-inch string, and a 6-page illustrated manual explaining the science behind every experiment.
