Ever wondered what makes a clock tick, or propels a wind-up car? The secret lies in the mainspring!

Explore the science behind clockwork mechanisms and spring power with this ingenious Springer Spiral Spring Science Kit.

By tackling the three different wind-up projects included, your kids will learn all about springs and spirals and the ways that they can create motion.

And, in a world first, the mainspring of this kit is made of plastic instead of metal, making it safe enough to leave completely exposed, so kids can watch it in motion!

Your kit can be disassembled and reassembled to create 3 unique models:

Spring Timer: Build your own 6 minute countdown timer with ticking sound.

Spring Bot: Build a robot with enough power to walk 50cms, waddling around with a quirky face!

Spring Car: Wind up your car and then release it to run at full speed for up to 14 metres!

It may be fun to build these models, but it's environmentally friendly too. No motor, glue, batteries or screws required, it's all powered by a plastic spring!

Your kit includes: All of the shafts, foam and springs you need to complete each project (not included but also required: diagonal cutters).
