At Stuffed Safari, we believe that learning should be fun, and what could be more fun than learning about the science behind candy! This fun kit by Thames and Kosmos allows you to experiment with the art of making candy, and learn the principles behind it. The set includes a 48 page illustrated book, along with plastic and metal molds, shape cutters, candy thermometer, spatula, dipping fork, and other candy-making tools. Please note that the kit does not contain food items, allowing you to have control over the ingredients you use. For ages 10 and up.

Wind energy is one of the fastest growing sources of renewable energy today, and Thames and Kosmos have harnessed the fun of learning about wind energy in their new Wind Power Science Experiment Kit. Included in this kit are a 32 page instruction manual and all of the parts needed to experiment with the physics of force and motion as it applies to wind power technology. Once you have built your wind turbine, follow the guide to learn how different forces affect the performance. For ages 8 and up.

Ready to go green? This fun fuel cell car and experiment kit by Thames & Kosmos gives eco-science a whole new spin by letting you build a real working model of a hydrogen powered fuel cell car, as well as conduct 30 experiments with solar cells, fuel cells and electrolysis. This amazing kit uses the same technology that the big car manufacturers are experimenting with for full size automobiles. This kit includes the fuel cell car, as well as a solar panel, digital multimeter, goggles, test tube, 3 resistors, and a 100 page manual.
The Thames & Kosmos Fuel Cell Car & Experiment Kit was honored with a Silver Award from the Parents’ Choice Foundation in 2002. Here’s their review:
"Wow! - usually when toys say there are 30 experiments, there are a few basic experiments and the others amount to small changes and variations on the basic ones. Not so here. The experiments, based on building a model car that runs on water, are versatile and cover a wide range of phenomena. The background for each phenomenon is extensive. ...For the budding physicist or environmentalist in your house, or the engineer at Grandma’s, this kit is a highway to fun."
For ages 12 and up.
