Description: Three kits in one. It.allows the "scientist" in your child to make flying objects and explore the world of the heart and lungs..

Includes:
Collection of three kits:
Kit 16 Flight
Kit 17 Heart and Lungs
Kit 18 Digestive System

Review: The Young Scientists Club Set 6 is a great idea to use for a science project for school or just for the young scientist who wants to take a journey into the human body and learn more about how it works.

Children who want to grow up and become doctors, nurses or take on other positions in healthcare, will very much enjoy the innovative kits and supplies on the heart and lungs. The kit also comes with flight related objects like airplanes, jets, parachutes, spinners and even windmills to assemble. Homeschoolers will find this kit quite fascinating and useful for kids following a unique curriculum.

The young scientist will have the challenge of measuring lung volume, making heart and lung models, and design a working stethoscope.

The scientific exploration doesn't end there. The inward journey takes the young scientist into the digestive system where he or she learns about the enzyme pepsin and how it eats away gelatin, iodine colors starch, and fats that make brown paper translucent.

This makes a great teaching tool during anatomy and human biology class, giving kids hands on knowledge of the human body.

If you're kids enjoy this as much as I imagine they will, they will also enjoy a variety of other kits like it by the same company.

Description: A pretend cell phone that flips open and has various buttons for dialing, ring tones, voice and camera picture sound effects. Includes 3 button-cell batteries for demonstration only. Battery life may be impaired. Replace them with new batteries (not included) for full-function play. Measures 7.75" x 1.75" x 0.5".

Review: Spiderman is the superhero of superheroes these days and with the new Spiderman movie release, this little cell phone for kids, ages 4 to 9, is a great choice.

Kids enjoy imitating their favorite superheroes and all kids love toys that are colorful, make noise and have special effects. This cell phone does all of the above. They can pretend they're calling "at the beck and call of the next emergency in Gotham," says the promo for this pretend cell phone. Kids can flip open the play cell phone and see a bright and colorful photo of Spiderman. Next, they can begin pressing the buttons for dialing and ringing sounds, voice or camera picture sound effects, and have the time of their life keeping up with their parents and older brothers and sisters who actually DO have a real cell phone.

This is a fun item that any superhero worshipper will enjoy!

Review: Sometimes it’s harder to grab the attention of teen boys and pull them away from the fun and excitement of computer's and video games. This hot little product will keep your teen boy entertained for hours.

Criticism: The cons I have found with this product though can be the ten minute flight time with up to a 30 minute recharge time so make sure you have something to captivate your child's time while your waiting for this item to recharge. It is best used in calm outdoor weather. Despite these issues I have experienced the kids having fun and enjoying flying their Gyrotor. The kids will be lined up waiting for the time to pass when they are recharging.
