This timeless scientific instrument has been reimagined in a fresh, new design. Experiment with the gyroscope to learn about the physics of motion, forces, and gravity. Discover gyroscopic forces firsthand — and see and feel them in action.

Have fun getting your gyroscope to do classic physics tricks. Make it balance on a tabletop, on a stand, on your fingertip, and even on a string. Spin the gyroscope inside the included clear plastic sphere to feel the forces acting on the sphere as you roll it — and when playtime is over, the sphere doubles as a storage case for your gyroscope.

The gyroscope has a 3-inch diameter and is made of durable plastic and metal. The kit includes a clear plastic sphere (which also functions as a stand and storage case), a 30-inch string, and a 6-page instruction manual with 5 experiments.
