Glowing Pendulum

Great kit.  Granddaughter loved it.  She was able to follow directions with little help.  

This was the coolest thing on the planet. The darker the rook the better. Chaotic motion is really cool. Once you think it's about to stop, it keeps going! I love that you can make secret messages with citric acid, too. 

My 9 year old is having so much fun exploring ways to use this project. I do wish it were a bit more sturdy. 

Very engaging

The pendulum was awesome to assemble and my daughter had a blast watching it drop and swoop to make chaotic patterns.

Drop and swoop!

My son really wanted to make a double pendulum so he was so excited about this crate. It contained everything he needed and the directions were easy for him to follow. 

Loved it!

Reading the Tinkerzine and learning about chaotic motion was a cool lesson for both me and my son. Seeing the science play out in real life was a great way of applying science to hands-on learning.

Chaotic motion lesson

Flourescence is amazing! My son and I created the glowing pendulum and it was so exciting seing chaotic motion in action! 

Flourescence is amazing!

We learned about flourescence, chaotic systems, and LED circuits. Such a cool lesson for my 11 year old! They really grasped all of the STEM concepts

Lots of STEM concepts

Between the UV Light to the instructional video, KiwiCo sets up each project for success. My child is always fully prepared and guided as he creates another awesome project.

Prepared carefully
