Thames & Kosmos Remote-Control Machines: Animals Science Kit

Description

Construct a whole zoo’s worth of remote-controlled animals with mechanical
insides covered by colorful plastic “skins.” The animals all move using
different mechanisms, each one mimicking the movement of the real animal it
represents. A two-button remote control unit moves the small, lightweight
motor forward and in reverse, allowing the models to move forward or backward.
Build an elephant that walks, a scorpion that crawls along, and a cute little
penguin that waddles. Construct a rabbit that bounds forward, a crab that
scurries sideways, and an orangutan that climbs hand over hand along a string.
You can even build a couple of dinosaurs: a Tyrannosaurus rex that walks on
two legs and a Pteranodon that “flies” along a cord. Learn about animal
locomotion and biomechanics as you build each model. When you are done, use
the same 100 building pieces to dream up your own mechanical animal creations!
You can even mix up the animal skins in funny ways to make outrageous hybrid
animals. A full-color, 36-page step-by-step illustrated manual helps kids
assemble all of the models, and teaches them about the animals they are
modeling and the ways different animals move. – A Parents’ Choice Gold Award
