Looking for a STEM project with a WOW factor? This engineering project is it.. see the hypercube left! Discover how the outer wand structure affects the shape of the inverted bubbles that form. This project teaches about tensile structures by building 3D bubble wands with Geoshapes squares, triangles and pentagons then dipping them in bubble solution to make inverted tensile bubbles. This simple demonstration will introduce a complex engineering concept to children visually. Set includes 60 Geoshape squares, 54 Geoshape triangles, 30 Geoshape pentagons and Professor Art Johnson's book 'Build Up To Bubbles: Geometry Made Interesting With 3D Geoshapes/Grades 5-10'. The Bubble Geometry Class Set provides an excellent introduction to geometry concepts such as the Platonic solids, Euler's law and non-Euclidian geometry. Just click the Geoshapes together to form the 3D models and dip them into the bubble solution. Suitable for grades 5-10.

Space Odyssey is an awesome, out of this world marble run construction set with six metres of wire track to create space runs on multi levels. Suitable for older children 7yrs+.

Massive classpack containing 800 pieces of flexible plastic straws and connectors. Construction resources help to promote a variety of cognitive and physical skills. They encourage problem solving and logical thinking to solve issues such as balancing, where the next piece goes and how to make the structure that they want to build. Play encourages creativity, imagination, perseverance and the development of language and social skills. Children become more confident and develop a stronger sense of identity through play. Supplied in a handy, stacking plastic container with lid.

An easy-to-use favourite. Just connect the flexible heavy straws with the ingenious joiners and let imagination take over. Great for open-ended play. Ages 4yrs+.

Revolutionary micro scale building blocks, the smallest measuring 4mm x 4mm, makes building models with precise 3D detail a real pleasure. Ages 8+.

Encouraging problem solving skills, children will love the feeling of accomplishment when designing and building elaborate structures that are achievable with the added stability given when connecting the blocks through the peg and hole design. The generously sized blocks come in a number of shapes in both painted and natural wood. Ages 2+.

Encouraging imaginative play through design and construction, these magnetic blocks also teach children about magnets. Within the set are 30 wooden pieces in 6 shapes. Designed for hours of open-ended play while introducing early math concepts, promoting the development of motor skills and problem-solving skills as they experiment with constructing, knocking down and constructing again. The magnets are covered by wood giving a clean and natural look to each block. Ages 3+.

A unique construction set. The Budding Builder improves fine motor skills while requiring forward thinking to construct a design. The pieces are linked by sliding them together resulting in a design that is securely connected while still easy to change in structure. Whether it is building a simple structure or complex designs, the Budding Builder is a construction set like no other. Designed for hours of open-ended play while introducing early math concepts, promoting the development of motor skills and problem solving skills as they experiment with constructing, knocking down and constructing again. Size of components varies between 3cm and 10cm in length.

Smooth, small log cuts measuring between 2cm and 12cm long in assorted shapes. Use for open-ended play or with other building sets.

Add these beautiful wooden arches to your block corner so that the children can create new and exciting structures. Set contains 12 arches.
