Explore the fascinating world of physics with the Thames and Kosmos Gyroscope. This timeless scientific instrument has been reimagined with a fresh, new design, making it both educational and fun for all ages.

Experiment with the gyroscope to understand the principles of motion, forces, and gravity. Learn about gyroscopic forces and witness them in action as you perform classic physics tricks. Balance the gyroscope on a tabletop, a stand, or even on a string. Spin it inside the included clear plastic sphere and observe the forces at play. The sphere also doubles as a convenient storage case for your gyroscope.

Each gyroscope set comes with a 7.5 cm diameter plastic and metal gyroscope, a clear plastic sphere, a 75 cm easy-to-thread string, and a detailed instruction manual. The clear plastic sphere functions as both a stand and a storage case, ensuring your gyroscope is always ready for your next experiment.

Perfect for budding scientists and curious minds, the Thames and Kosmos Gyroscope makes learning about physics a hands-on and engaging experience. Whether for a classroom or a home lab, this gyroscope is a must-have educational tool.

Nicholas G. ★★★★★

I was pleasantly surprised how smoothly this gyroscope spins right out of the box—it really demonstrates the physics principles clearly. Even my younger kids can get it going and watch it stay upright for a solid minute.

Mia M. ★★★★★

My ten-year-old has been spinning it for an hour straight, trying to balance it on every surface in the house. The way it stays upright on the pedestal really makes the physics of angular momentum click for him.

George I. ★★★★★

I was honestly impressed by how smoothly the gyroscope spins once you get the string pulled just right. My daughter spent a good hour trying to balance it on her fingertip, and the precision of the spin really held her attention.
