The Ultimate Machine uses an innovative handbook/manual approach to explore an incredibly complex and sophisticated piece of engineering - the human body. Entertaining and informative in equal measure, The Ultimate Machine introduces readers to the body's operating and maintenance systems, and all its key components. As well as an essential guide to the body's main design features - for example its powerful sensory devices and incredibly fast on-board computer - the book explores a wealth of other fascinating subjects. High-interest spreads include survival mode (how the body deals with extreme conditions), shut-down mode (the mysteries of sleep revealed), troubleshooting tips (how to keep the body in tip-top condition) and future upgrades (designer bodies and implanted chips).

Let your youngsters invent and investigate like young scientists.There are instructions for 12 diffferent models to build.Students use the models to predict,observe,measure and record events, experiancing forces, motion, energy and magnetism first hand using gears, pullies and other mechanisims.

The best elements of the Science Museum in puzzle form.

A fantastic activity book full of exciting puzzles and quizzes to do with space, cars, planes, ships, trains, medicine, energy and materials - do the constellation dot-to-dot, a weather crossword, a materials quiz, match the bone to the part of the body, untangle the vapour trails and as if that isn't enough there is a double page spread of stickers in the middle of the book.


Two million people visit the Science Museum every year to see the extraordinary selection of exhibits and objects exploring the past, present and future of human invention and discovery. We are delighted to be publishing this brilliant sticker activity book in association with the museum, where children of all ages can learn about science in a fresh, fun and interactive way.

The Kit has been specifically designed to support young children investigating electricity. Developed jointly with Eastern Electricity and Bedfordshire LEA's Science Team, the kit allows children to make up a range of electrical circuits, both simple and complex. There are no intricate electrical connections. Special features include bright rainbow coloured bases with mounted components, crocodile clip leads and a folding board for mounting physical circuits. Additional chip symbols also allow children to create circuit diagrams. Supporting this kit are 24 photocopiable workcards which encourage progression through a range of electrical activities.

Originating in Bedfordshire and originally designed for special needs pupils, this set is eminently suitable for all KS1 children. This set consists of a large 'mounting' board with individual components mounted on bright coloured bases. Crocodile leads grip onto large terminals and circuits are quickly and easily constructed.
