Item # 6780 Ages: 6 & Up

Twin Gyroscopes and Strings

$14.99

Watch them spin on their axes.

They might look like toy tops but gyroscopes have been used for important purposes like balance and navigation since the 18th century. While physics classes across the country use the gyroscope to measure movement, rotation and demonstrate other scientific principles, more than just a few kids and adults enjoy the pure pleasure of playing with this spinning sensation! Gyroscopes come with starting strings, pedestal and instructions.

PRODUCT REVIEWS

A gyroscope has a rotating wheel mounted so its axis can turn freely in a certain or all directions. It is capable of maintaining the same absolute direction in space in spite of movements of mountings and surrounding parts. Because it tries to maintain a single direction once set in motion it has been useful in guiding objects that need to remain on course such as space craft, missiles,airplanes, submarines,etc.

WARNING: Choking Hazard - Small Parts. Not for children under 3 years.

Award:Parent's Choice Best Classic. Ages: 5 and up
