Phases & Eclipses. Make the Earth! Make the moon! Make a tree! Okay, only God can make a tree -- but you can take the plastic parts in this Earth Moon Model Making Kit and make a dandy 3-3/4" dia Earth and 7/8" dia moon. The first sits on a 3-3/8" pylon, the second sits on the end of a 5" arm and can be moved in a circular orbit around the Earth. You can then enhance the relief surfaces of both with the brush and paints in the kit (6 one-ounce pots of color, plus 2 pots of glow-in-the-dark paint), find a flashlight or other source of light (that would be what the manufacturer calls a "torch"), and follow the kit's suggestions for creating lunar and solar eclipses, moon phases, etc. For ages 7 and up.
