Build your own planetarium and rotate the constellation plate until it matches the date and time.Have the direction you are facing (North, South, East or West) pointed towards you, then use the chart to find out which constellations you can see in the sky. Keep track of the constellations in the night sky in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres simply by switching out the constellation plates. The word constellation comes from a late Latin term cōnstellātiō, which when translated means “set of stars”. These sets of stars are an area on the celestial sphere in which a pattern or outline can be seen. Usually in the forms of animals, inanimate objects or characters from mythology. There are 88 officially recognised constellations with asterisms being a subset of star patterns and positions used for navigation. Known as astronavigation, this process allows an individual to locate their position using sights or angular measurements between heavenly bodies. This practice was mainly used at sea but now in modern times we use GPS instead.The most accepted time for constellations to be noted and used by humans is from 3000 BC in Mesopotamia where they were discovered on clay tablets and inscribed on stones. Constellations appear in many ancient cultures including Babylonian, Sumerian, Egyptian, Persian, Greek and Chinese. *29 pieces *Illustrated instructions*Timber parts, constellation plates *CHOKING HAZARD: Contains small parts.

Assemble and paint your own planetarium. Includes 8 snap together planets, sun and stand that allows the orbits of the solar system. Scientists know a lot about the solar system, but they have no way of determining just how big the universe is.Our Solar System consists of many objects. Planets, dwarf planets, moons, the asteroid belt and the Kuiper belt. All gravitationally bound to orbit the Sun these objects travel around the solar system. The Sun is our star, central to everything, followed by the four small terrestrial planets – Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. In the vast expanse after Mars is the asteroid belt, made up of asteroids, debris of ice and rock. We then have Jupiter and Saturn – the two largest planets and both primarily composed of hydrogen and helium. Uranus and Neptune are classified as ice giants.Beyond Neptune lies the Kuiper belt – mainly objects comprised of ice – and Pluto, a dwarf planet. Other objects in the solar system include comets, dust clouds, ‘natural satellites’ or moons.In our solar system there are lots of moons. Earth has one moon, and most major planets – all except Mercury and Venus – have moons. Mercury doesn’t have a moon due to being too close to the Sun, its gravity would pull the moon in towards it. Mars has two moons, Jupiter has 79 moons; including the largest moon Ganymede. Saturn is next with 53 moons and some pending confirmation, and lastly Uranus with 27 and Neptune with 14. Pluto and some other dwarf planets, as well as many asteroids, also have small moons.   *45 pieces *Illustrated instructions*18 planet pieces, 8 planet arms, base, 6 joints, paint brush, paints and sandpaper *CHOKING HAZARD: Contains small parts.

When life gives you lemons… make a clock! Construct this timber clock and watch as a lemon powers the LCD screen. This fully functional clock uses zinc and copper to draw power. To get more scientific, the lemon juice is an acidic electrolyte that is connected to a circuit with the zinc and copper. Illustrated instructions will guide you through the process. If you want to get fancy, you can even paint your timber pieces in colours you love before you start. May we suggest, yellow? Originally designed for the purposes of education about electrolytes and electrodes the lemon battery is a great way to illustrate the chemical reaction of oxidation and reduction. Place a lemon with a piece of zinc and a piece of copper inserted into its flesh, connected by wires to replicate this process. Hooked up to small device such as a clock face with an LED (light emitting diode) screen the lemon battery emits enough power to run it. The zinc and copper are the electrodes, the juice inside the lemon isthe electrolyte – this is similar to the first electrical battery invented in 1800 by Alessandro Volta. You can use many different fruits or even liquids as the replacement for the electrolytes in this experiment. The zinc and copper can also be replaced by other metals.*60 pieces*Illustrated instructions*Timber clock pieces, LCD clock, a copper and zinc sheet, sand paper*CHOKING HAZARD: Contains small parts.

This solar race car experiment kit is a great STEM hands-on learning experience. The kit comes with everything you need to develop and apply the principles of basic physics, mechanics, and solar energy while also developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. The solar panel is the central part of solar power systems and is the most valuable. It converts the sun’s radiation into electricity and can drive a car using this free power.The most commonly seen application of solar energy collection outside large-scale agriculture is solar water heating systems. We are seeing these panels more commonly on the roofs of suburban homes, where people are hoping to lessen their carbon footprint and save money on their electricity bills. The term solar panel is used colloquially for a photo-voltaic (PV) module. A PV module is a framework to which an assembly of photo-voltaic cells are mounted for installation – hence solar panel. PV cells generate direct current electricity, after gathering sunlight as theenergy source. A group of PV modules is called a PV panel, and a system of panels is an array.When sunlight protons hit PV cells, they excite the electrons and allow them to flow, creating an electric current, that can be stored for later use or sent directly to power homes, businesses, agriculture or cars. PV cells are made of materials such as silicon and alloys of indium, gallium and nitrogen. These materials are classified assemiconductors.*43 pieces*Illustrated instructions*Motor kit, solar panel, axles, wheels, strips and hardware*CHOKING HAZARD: Contains small parts.

Create your own Stomp Rocket with this awesome wooden toy kit! Pascal’s law or Pascal’s principle of transmission of fluid-pressure, is a principle in fluid mechanics that states that a pressure change occurring anywhere in a confined incompressible fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid such that the same change occurs everywhere. When we think of a rocket we generally think of fuel rockets heading off into space. These rockets are powered by fuel and motors, with onboard computers controlling every movement precisely. A stomp rocket has no control, except the direction you point it in and then all its power comes from the initial thrust of the air bladder being “stomped” on. It runs out of power and then will fall to the ground at the whim of gravity.When the stomping pressure is applied to the air bladder, the air inside is expelled from the bladder. This air has nowhere to go except through the connecting hose and into the body of the rocket. This pressurisation of the air inside the hollow body of the rocket causes the air to once again need to escape, so it is forced towards the only opening at the rear of the rocket. It causes the rocket to accelerate upwards along the launch shaftand then lift into the sky. Direction of flight can be controlled by the angle of the launch shaft tube.*20 pieces*Illustrated instructions*Wooden parts, paint brush, paints, glue, EVA blades, tube, straw,screws, tape and stomp chamber*CHOKING HAZARD: Contains small parts.

In December 1956, paroled rebel Fidel Castro returned to Cuba to launch his revolution with virtually no political base and—after a disastrous initial encounter with government forces—a total of just 12 men. Two years later, through masterful propaganda and factional maneuver, Castro, his brother Raúl, and iconic revolutionary Che Guevara had united disparate guerrillas and exploited Cubans’ deep opposition to their dictator Fulgencio Batista y Zaldívar. Castro’s takeover of the country became a model for Leftist insurgency.Castro’s InsurgencyFollowing up on GMT Games’ Andean Abyss about insurgency in modern Colombia, the next volume in the COIN Series, Cuba Libre, takes 1 to 4 players into the Cuban Revolution. Castro’s “26 July Movement” must expand from its bases in the Sierra Maestra mountains to fight its way to Havana. Meanwhile, anti-communist student groups, urban guerrillas, and expatriates try to de-stabilize the Batista regime from inside and out, while trying not to pave the way for a new dictatorship under Castro. Batista’s Government must maintain steam to counter the twin insurgency, while managing two benefactors: its fragile US Alliance and its corrupting Syndicate skim. And in the midst of the turmoil, Meyer Lansky and his Syndicate bosses will jockey to keep their Cuban gangster paradise alive.COIN Series, Volume IICuba Libre will be easy to learn for Andean Abyss players—both volumes share the same innovative GMT COIN Series system. Like Volume I, Cuba Libre is equally playable solitaire or by multiple players up to 4—and with a shorter time to completion than Andean Abyss. But Cuba Libre’s situation and strategic challenges will be new. A deck of 48 fresh events brings 1950s Cuba to life and includes …• The Twelve: The first wave’s escape to the Sierra Maestra—inspirational legend or harbinger of defeat?• El Che and Raúl: Brilliant in the field, or bungling hostage-takers?• Operation Fisherman: Can the rebels pull off a second invasion?• General Strike: Urban disruption or rebel embarrassment?• Radio Rebelde: Are the masses tuning in, or just the Army direction finders?• Pact of Caracas: Can the rebels unite?• Armored Cars: Mobile striking power, but in whose hands?• Rolando Masferrer: Brutal pro-government tactics—will they help or hurt?• Fat Butcher: Can the Mob’s enforcer protect its casinos?• Sinatra: Frankie’s Havana show a boom or bust, and who collects?… and much more.New twists match the COIN Series system to the situation in 1950s Cuba:• It’s the insurgents who build lasting capabilities, while the Government is limited to fleeting bursts of momentum.• The Syndicate’s bases are Casinos—expensive to build, but so important to Cuba no army will destroy them.• Syndicate special activities include calling in the “muscle” of Government troops and police to protect mob assets.• Stacks of Syndicate cash awaiting launder can fall in anyone’s hands—even the corrupt Government’s.• The Government has its own terror tactic—reprisals—and can skim a portion of Syndicate profits.• The eroding US Alliance with Batista overshadows all Government actions, not just through aid levels but also through the day-to-day ability of troops and police to operate.• Even if Batista flees, the struggle may not end—the counterrevolutionary government may even become stronger!Multiplayer, 2-Player, SolitaireCuba Libre provides up to 4 players with contrasting roles and overlapping victory conditions for rich diplomatic interaction. For 2- or 3-player games, players can represent alliances of factions, or the game system can control non-player factions . Or a single player as the Cuban Revolutionaries can attempt to topple Batista and seize power for themselves. The non-player sides will fight one another as well as the players, but too much power in the hands of any one of them will mean player defeat.More COIN Series Volumes to ComeAndean Abyss and now Cuba Libre present a game system on modern insurgency readily adaptable to other conflicts, particularly those featuring the interaction of many sides (thus the name COunterINsurgency Series). A rich and under-represented history of guerrilla warfare beckons, as modern insurgency offers virtually unlimited, under-gamed topics for the COIN Series. Volume III is A Distant Plain—Insurgency in Afghanistan. Volume IV is Fire in the Lake—Insurgency in Vietnam.
