Punchie Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 DD and DH completed the MSB germs kit, and both really enjoyed it. Now we're ready to move onto another kit. DH wants to do one that is physics-based. Where can I find kits that deal with physics and are geared towards a 5 yr old? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Not a kit, but a previous issue of Family Fun magazine (maybe September last year? or this year?) has some really fun physics projects, including making a giant hand out of pool noodles (teaches about levers, I'd imagine)! There are also physics games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohannaM Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 We are enjoying one of the K'nex Education kits, Intro to Simple Machines - Gears. They also have ones with pulleys, wheels, bridges etc.. Whatever strikes your interest! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punchie Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 Thanks! I will check those out and see what DH wants to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Why not just do another MSB kit? We liked the one on flight, which is an aspect of physics. Or you could do the one on rainbows and light (I haven't tried that one) but that's physics as well. Or, another direction, simple machines is one of the topics that is easiest to just play around with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
