Product Description

What do the iPhone, playstation controller, Hubble telescope, kids top spinner and international space station have in common? They all utilize a device called a gyroscope. Gyroscopes are rapidly spinning wheels on an axis that are used to measure and maintain orientation. These gismos seemingly defy gravity but are in fact quite simple to understand. Thames & Kosmos Gyrobot Robot Building Gyroscopes Science Kit allows children to explore the fascinating science behind gyroscopes by building 7 motorized robotic models that each utilize a gyroscope, including a motorized robot that uses the gyroscope to walk along a tightrope. Gyroscopes may seem complicated, but this hands-on physics kit involves a 24-page full color instruction manual that explains how the device functions and how it can be incorporated into the motorized models included in this science toy. Young scientists will have hands-on fun learning about the scientific principles behind the balancing robots and physics of gyroscopes with the Gyrobot Robot Building Gyroscopes Science Kit from Educational Toys Planet!
