Lightning!
Well, the next best thing, anyway. 200,000 volts of electrostatic energy created by the Van de Graaf generator you assemble from the kit. Assembly is easy, you need a screwdriver, pliers and scissors - no soldering. A newspaper-like set of instructions includes lots of fun experiments. For grade 6 and up. This is not a toy and should be used under adult supervision. A great tool for teaching about electricity.

Socko X-Ray Sets
Way inside? Try our assortment of human and beastie X-rays. These, from Roylco®, are very useful for biology teachers and have real possibilities for artists and designers: fold 'em into lampshades, blow them up or shrink them on a copier, or scan them and have fun in Photoshop™. The human skeletal system, a complete skeleton when assembled, is in (18) sheets. The broken set has (15) sheets of nasty human fractures, quite literally from head to foot. Actual X-rays are reprinted on transparencies which work with overhead projectors, and range from 3-3/8" x 6-7/8" to 7-1/4" x 14". They come with info sheets in English and sometimes also in French.

Make Two Dozen Paper Airplanes
Plus, of course, the one you already know how to make, but imagine how sick your kids are of that one. This highly origamian, 120pp book has the plans for (25) ingenious paper airplanes, including some stunt fliers. Our favorite is The Flying Pig because you can make "when pigs fly" jokes at meetings and then use the agenda to construct it. Written by David Mitchell for PRC Publishing.

Field & Forest Guide
Titled "The Field and Forest Handy Book," this volume has been justifiably in print since 1906. Written by Daniel C. "Uncle Dan" Beard, the founder of the Sons of Daniel Boone and one of the founders of the BSA, it's a compendium of eternally relevant woodland lore, from building cabins, sleds, boats, and bridges to camping in swamps. The only part we skipped was on how to cook a muskrat. (We know a place that delivers.) Loaded with illustrations. In soft cover from David Godine's Nonpareil Books, 428 pages.

Simple Circuit
An easy way to light up the kids' eyes! Teach them to wire a simple circuit with our basic components. The knife switch is mounted on a 1-1/2"x3" black-plastic base. The miniature plastic socket holds a standard flashlight bulb with a 14 mm dia screw base. We pack 6 volt and 3 volt round bulbs, or 1.5 volt bell-shaped bulbs, (5) to a package.(Bulbs are rated slightly higher to prevent them from burning out.) Or hook up the black plastic and metal 2" x 4-1/4" telegraph key with brass contacts and (2) terminal posts with nuts. Our blue-plastic holder for (1) "D" battery has a small tab at each end to hook a lead to, and a 1/8" square mounting hole at each corner. You add the mounting surface and the know-how. Actual bulb voltage listed in parenthesis.

Bargain Post-it Notes
Sometimes leftovers provide a great bargain. Our each is (20) 50-sheet pads of 2-3/4" x 5" Post-it® notes or (5) 50-sheet pads that are 4" x 6". They were pharma-giveaways to promote "Diastat (Diazepam Rectal Gel)" and feature an unfortunate little fire extinguisher logo. The large ones say "Stop the seizure. Fast." The small ones say "Protect What Matters." No need to thank us.
