Drinking Bird

WOW! Thermodynamics & Pressure Differentials! Enjoy this classic physics demonstration in a handy duck shape. This thirsty bird perpetually bobs long as it has a glass of water to dunk in.

Engage children of all ages with products that will encourage them to explore, understand and be inspired by the world of S.T.E.A.M. (Science, technology, engineering, arts and math). Includes learning guide with key scientific terms.

Teaching points include:
– Principles of energy
– Vapour pressure
– Condensation and evaporation
– Liquid properties, like those of methylene chloride, a volatile liquid that evaporates easily at room temperature because of weak bonds between its molecules.
– Balance and centre of gravity

For ages 8+
