Space Gyroscope is a compact, self-contained unit that functions as both a gyroscopic stunt course and electronic gyroscope starter. The 40+ piece set is fun and easy to assemble, with decals that dress up components for maximum visual effect. Once assembled, getting the action in high gear is as simple as inserting the gyroscope into the futuristic, robot-like base unit and gently pressing down. The gyroscope's interior begins spinning, accelerating to a high speed that readies it to perform any and all of the six highly enjoyable and enlightening anti-gravity experiments afforded by the unit's various stations. The accompanying instruction booklet includes educational hints that help explain the principles and forces behind gyroscopic motion. This excellent blend of fun and learning has a magical feel that deeply engages kids of all ages. Requires 2 AA batteries.
