All the toys we have at TealCo.net demonstrate some type of scientific property in a fun way. By "in a fun way," we do not mean "Your 10 year old will be delighted to test and record fruit juice acidities with litmus paper." We mean that they're really and truly fun to play with or observe, and you actually learn something by doing it.
Magnetic balls, for example, demonstrate the physics of magnetism and require some thought to make the polar spheres align in geometrically pleasing shapes. They're also amazingly strong and fun to play with! The Levitron Revolution also demonstrates magnetism, but in a different way than Buckyballs. The Levitron is really amazing to see and would be at home on a fireplace mantle or in a science classroom.
The Space Ant Farm shows how ants work together to make a subterranean arrangement of tunnels, and how NASA tested ants in zero gravity. The dirt in a regular ant farm would all float around in the air and be useless without gravity, but the gel in the Space Ant farm stays put. It also provides food and water for the ants without requiring you to feed the ants with sugar water. On top of that, they look really cool!
Further information is available for all the items pictured above by clicking on the pictures and reading their specific descriptions. We add new, interesting science toys whenever we come across one, so check back from time to time and see what we've come up with!
