Thames & Kosmos – Volcanoes & Earthquakes

The Thames & Kosmos – Volcanoes & Earthquakes kit brings the secrets of Earth’s depths to the surface. Our planet is constantly in motion, not only around the sun, but on the inside as well, with tectonic plates shifting and causing earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Build and erupt a volcano with plaster-based lava, which hardens after each eruption and slowly builds up the cone, just like a real volcano does. Learn about all the different types and famous volcanoes around the world through a quiz and get to know plate tectonics by assembling a puzzle. Construct a seismograph and see how scientists measure earthquakes in real life by faking some quakes at home. A full-colour, 48-page experiment manual is included. Dimensions: 13.1 x 2.6 x 8.9 inches Weight: 15.5 ounces Suitable for age: 10+
