■ Spinning tops meet magnets! An original and mysterious experiment kit
By using the 'Genius Spinning Top Machine Nyairo'—a cat-shaped machine that makes spinning tops easy for anyone—and the magnetic 'Magical Goma,' children can learn about the properties of magnets and realize the power of the gyro effect while playing. The new experiment tops, which combine spinning tops and magnets, stick to iron and spin, allowing for acrobatic tricks!
There are 7 tricks to master. The kit includes a large top, a mini top, and two magnetic tops, offering a variety of ways to play.
■ Even small children and those who are clumsy can spin tops well!
This kit includes the cat-shaped spinning top machine, making it easy and fun for anyone to perform experiments.
Since both the large and mini tops in the Magical Goma set have magnets inside, children can use the power of iron attraction or magnetic repulsion and attraction to perform acrobatic tricks.
★ What can be learned through experience ★
【Properties of magnets】 Things that stick to magnets, repulsion and attraction between magnets, and the nature of the North and South poles.
【Gyro effect】 Like a bicycle, it stays stable by spinning. The function of maintaining posture.
【Rotational color mixing】 Experiencing color-changing tops where shapes or colors seem to disappear or change when spun.
■ All tools for the 7 tricks are included, so you can play immediately!
The spinning top machine comes pre-assembled and ready to play. The kit also includes all the necessary tools for the 7 tricks and a detailed guidebook explaining the principles of magnets and the gyro.
■ Explanations and how-to guides are also provided in the detailed guidebook and videos!
The guidebook features photo-illustrated instructions, and each trick can also be verified through videos via QR codes.
The 'Jishaku-goma Gyrobo-kun' was born as a Gakken science material in the 1990s. Thirty years later, Gyrobo-kun has been renewed as the cat-shaped machine, Nyairo! Its functions have been upgraded and improved to perform 7 tricks.
