Air-Stream Hovercraft & Air-Driven Machines Experiment Kit

By Thames & Kosmos

With this educational Air-Stream experiment kit, you and your kids can build a working hovercraft that glides across smooth floors or flat water on a cusion of air. You can help teach your children that even though air is invisible, it has mass and can even support heavy objects. You can also learn about air pressure and air flow through experimenting with propellers and impellers. The included blower motor and safe, soft-bladed fan will be used to drive the 10 different models that you can make with this kit. In addition to building hovercrafts, you can also construct an air-basketball machine, a racecar and more! The 10 different models are explained step-by-step in the 32-page, full-color manual. For ages 8 and up.
