You will need: Disc (die-cut cardboard), short string

Here’s how: Separate the disc from the cardboard

and ﬁnd the shorter string in the box. Guide its ends

through the small holes in the disc and carefully knot

them. Slide the disc to the middle of the length of cord

and slide the cord into the slit so the disc stays straight.

Holding the string tight with your

ﬁngers, rotate the disc again and

again, like a jump rope, until the

string is really wound up. About

30 to 40 times should do it.

Now, pull the ends of the string apart with a lot of force and then immediately relax the tension

again! Be sure that the disc stays straight. Don’t give up right away — you’ll soon get the hang

of it. The disc will go faster and faster,

and you will hear a whizzing sound.

What’s happening? Why does the

disc make a noise when it spins fast? The spinning disc works by the same principle

as a top, except it is suspended from a string and gets its rotational momentum

from the turning of the string. The turbulence of the disc makes the air

around it vibrate. Depending on its rotational speed, you will hear

a whizzing or a sort of howling sound with a higher

or deeper pitch.

Contents

1 pair of binoculars 3 suction cups

5 paper clips 1 packet clip

2 lengths of string 1 top

1 die-cut cardboard 1 map

4. Spin, prey top!

You will need: Top disc (die-cut cardboard), top

Here’s how: Separate the colorful disc from the die-

cut cardboard and place it on the upper surface of

the top. Clear everything out of the box, which will

serve as your spinning surface. Now try to get the

top spinning!

What’s happening? Why does the top spin? Think about what hap-

pens when a train or car goes into a curve. There’s a force that

pushes your body outward. This force is called “centrifugal force.”

Any moving body persists in its direction of motion. This goes

for a car, too — and if it goes too fast, it can even ﬂy out of the

curve and lose control.

But what does all that have to do with your top? When it

spins, the centrifugal force is greater than the force of grav-

ity pulling it downward. As it spins more slowly, the force

of gravity starts to take over, until it eventually topples.

You will need: Binoculars

Here’s how: Take the folding binoculars

out of the box and take a look at the

landscape…

What’s happening? The forward lens collects the incoming light, focuses it, and uses it to produce an

enlarged image of objects farther away. This lens is also called the “objective” lens. The other lens is

smaller, and enlarges the image a second time close to the eye. Unlike with a telescope, a pair of binoculars

lets you see the object in three dimensions, and with the proper width-to-height ratio.

3. Measuring weights with the scale

You will need: Scale (die-cut cardboard), a packet clip,

5 paper clips, 1 suction cup, a quarter and a dime

Here’s how: Assemble the scale as shown in the illustra-

tion. For the scale to read the correct weight, you need

to use one quarter and one dime as counterweights.

Carefully clip them to the scale as shown with two

paperclips.

Aach each of your

test objects in turn

to the paper clips and

read their weights on

the scale. Be sure that

the scale is set to “0”

before each weighing.

What’s happening?

All objects are pulled to the

center of Earth by gravity. The

greater the mass of an object, the

greater its weight and the more

strongly it’s pulled down.

You will need: Top, map sheet

Here’s how: In this game, try to get your top to

travel from one state to another on your map.

Clear everything out of the kit box so you can

have just the map lying inside it. Spin the top on

the map. By tilting the box, can you get the top to

travel along the roads and get it to stay in a speciﬁc

state?

2. Whoosh! The whizzing

sound of the spinning disc

Dear Parents,

This experiment kit will make long drives pass in

the blink of an eye. And at the same time, your

kids will learn playfully simple concepts from

the world of science. They will be able to study

the landscape with the binoculars, or try fun

games with the top and the spinning disc. They

can construct a miniature cable car or a simple

scale. And we haven’t forgotten about the fun

when you get where you’re going: In the box,

they will find a “multifaceted” postcard that they

can assemble themselves and a boomerang for

flight experiments. So here’s wishing you a safe

trip, and lots of fun with these experiments!

CAUTION!

Not suitable for children under 3 years of age.

There is a risk of suﬀocation due to small parts

that can be swallowed or inhaled. There is a risk

of strangulation if strings or cords are wrapped

around the neck. Save the packaging and instruc-

tions, as they contain important information.

binoculars work?

5. Tricky top game

Warning note: Caution! Never look

directly into the sun, either through

the binoculars or with your naked

eye. You could seriously damage

your eyes. Never leave the binocu-

lars lying in the sun – ﬁre risk!

At your vacation destination:

A boomerang for

cool ﬂight tests

You will need: Boomerang (die-cut cardboard)

Here’s How: The boomerang can function as

both hunting weapon and sporting equipment.

The Australian Aborigines are expert boomerang

makers and throwers. They know how to design

this ﬂying instrument so it always comes back to

the person who throws it. The boomerang in the

die-cut cardboard is admiedly not perfect, but

with a lile bit of skill and patience you can try

diﬀerent throwing angles to see which one works

best to make it come back to you.

Tip: When you

throw it, a quick

ﬂick of the wrist will

help your boomerang

get oﬀ to a great start.

A lile practice makes

perfect…

If it doesn’t work, trying

throwing the boomerang

like a Frisbee.

What’s happening? How does a boomerang ﬂy

and why does it return to its thrower? As a boo-

merang spins through the air, it rotates around

an axis passing vertically through its center. As it

does this, it follows a parabolic path that ideally

leads back to the starting point.

The “multifaceted”

postcard

You will need: Postcard (die-cut cardboard)

Here’s how: Fold the strips with the orange-

colored picture of the pyramids facing up, as

shown in the drawing. You will see a diﬀerent

picture depending on which side you look at the

postcard from.

7. Fun travel route calculations

You will need: String, experiment ruler (die-cut

cardboard), large driving map or driving atlas

How far is my travel route (in miles)?

Here’s how: Use your experiment ruler and string to

measure the approximate length of the travel route on

the driving map (or driving atlas). Take a look at the

scale used for the map and then convert your travel

distance from inches into miles. Map scales are usually

represented as ratios, such as 1 inch to 63,360 inches,

which can be wrien as 1:63,360, or one inch to one mile.

How fast am I traveling?

Here’s how: Would you like to calculate your average driving speed (v, for velocity)? If so, you will need:

d = Distance: The length of the driving route in miles. For this, you can ask your parents, the train

conductor, or the ﬂight aendant. Or measure it on your map or in your atlas.

t = Time: The travel time in hours, not including stops or breaks.

Now, if you use the formula you will get the answer.v = d ÷ t

Example:

6. The “window-suction cup cable car”

You will need: Gondola (die-cut cardboard), long string, 2 suction cups

Here’s how: First, separate the gondola piece from the die-cut cardboard and carefully fold

it together. Take the longer string, thread its ends through the gondola eyelets, and knot it

in place there. Now hang the string over the two suction cups. You will be able to move the

cable car from left to right by pulling the string. What sorts of things can you transport in it?

Fun Questions

1. How far do animals travel?

A lot of animals move between summer and winter homes every

year. Arctic Terns migrate from the Arctic to Antarctica and back

again each year, about 12,000 miles each way. They live up to 25

years and cover as much as 1.5 million miles in a lifetime! Take a

look in your world atlas to see how great the distance is between

the Arctic and Antarctica.

European storks cover up to 250 miles a day as they travel back

to South Africa. They take advantage of updrafts and soar like

gliders in order to save energy.

Ask your travel companions to think of other animals

that take long trips — in the ocean, in the air, or on

land. The winner is whoever can name the most

animals in 10 minutes.

2. How fast does Earth travel in its orbit?

Our planet circles around the sun. Take turns guessing

how fast Earth might be moving as it does this. Who

can get the closest to the right answer?

As our Earth follows its orbit around the sun, it

reaches an average speed of 29,800 meters per second

– or 66,660 miles per hour!

Common map scales What it means in reality

1 : 24,000 1 inch on the map corresponds to 24,000 inches, or 2,000 feet, in reality

1 : 63,360 1 inch on the map corresponds to 63,360 inches, or 1 mile, in reality

1 : 500,000

1 inch on the map corresponds to 500,000 inches, or about 8 miles, in reality

Driving route from New York, NY to Los Angeles, CA

d about 2,450 miles

t about 44 hours

v 2,450 miles ÷ 44 hours = 56 miles per hour (mi/h)
