Mythbusters Science of Sports

Fans of sports and fans of science don't always see eye to eye, but this kit's hands-on experiments capture the attention of kids in both camps while teaching them how science and sports work together, Mythbuster style.

As your child works and plays side by side with the Mythbusters in the Science of Sports kit, they'll discover first hand how science makes their swings, throws, and more possible:

• Find the 'sweet spot' on any baseball bat, every time.
• Discover how curve balls really curve.
• Learn about why the 'rest and digest' strategy brings them more energy.
• Test out the truth of the 'big bounce.'

The kit comes with everything your sports scientist needs:

• string
• mallet
• ping-pong ball
• baseball
• rubber ball
• chart
• sticker sheet
• marker
• clear tube
• face paint
• stick
• Activity Guide

By the time they've played their way through this kit, your sports-minded child will have a new appreciation for science (or vice-versa), as they have the final say on whether each of the sports legends is 'Confirmed' or 'Busted.'

Ages 9 and up.
