The Thames & Kosmos Gyroscope

• Classic physics, modern design: explore rotation, torque, precession, and angular momentum in a fresh, durable build

• Feel the forces: balance your gyro on a tabletop, stand, string, or spin it inside the clear sphere to sense gyroscopic stability in your hands
  

• See it, store it, show it: the clear plastic sphere doubles as a stand and snap-shut storage case

• Quick-start learning: perform five tried-and-true experiments that turn abstract concepts into hands-on “aha” moments

• Designed for repeat use: metal/plastic construction holds up to enthusiastic spinning and daily handling
