This classic scientific instrument has been given a modern makeover. With this gyroscope, you can conduct exciting experiments to explore the physics of motion, forces, and gravity. Feel the gyroscopic forces in action as you perform classic physics tricks. Get it to balance on a tabletop, a stand, or a string. Spin it inside the included clear plastic sphere, which also serves as a stand and a storage case. The gyroscope, with a 3 - inch diameter, is made of plastic and metal. It comes with a 30 - inch string and an instruction manual. Suitable for ages 8 and up.

Using the gyroscope is easy. First, take it out of the clear plastic sphere. Hold the gyroscope and spin it as fast as you can. Try making it balance on different surfaces like a tabletop, a stand, or a string. You can also spin it inside the clear plastic sphere to feel the forces acting on it. When you're done, put the gyroscope back into the sphere for storage. As for maintenance, keep it away from water and extreme temperatures. If it gets dirty, you can use a dry cloth to wipe it. Make sure to always follow the instructions in the manual, especially when using it with children aged 8 and up.
