| Summary: | What fun! ClickScholar Cie recommended this website that provides complete step-by-step instructions on how to make your own science toys using easily accessible and cheap materials so that "nobody is excluded because of cost." | ||
| Description: | When you get to the site you'll see a brief introduction and an animated menu of science toys in two categories: *Quick and Easy - This section provides instructions for making science toys that young kids (elementary school age) can do. Make a propeller, a vortex, a top, an oscillating woodpecker, a parachute, a periscope, a robot finger and more! *Advanced - Tweens, teens and adults can make these science toys that include a water rocket launcher, a putt-putt boat, hot air balloon, helicopter, robot hands, and even a lie detector! Click on any one and a new page opens with instructions (some in streaming video), photos, illustrations, explanations, related activities and links for further research. The projects are open-ended enough to encourage creative invention and tinkering. As the website explains, "It is a resource for inspired parents, kids, teachers, teenagers, homeschoolers, science fair participants and citizen scientists everywhere." Enjoy! |
