The POOF-Slinky 0SEA2121 Scientific Explorer MythBusters Forces of Flight is a science exploration kit that lets your child follow in the footsteps of Jamie and Adam, stars of the hit Discovery Channel series “MythBusters,” as they try to expose well-known myths and other tall tales to discover which ones are true and which ones are bogus. In this kit you’ll uncover the wonders of flight. People build all sorts of machines to overcome the forces that normally keep us earthbound. Which ideas soar and which ones crash and burn? Do rockets really launch best when they run out of gas? What do bubbles know about flying?

Some will work and some will be busted!
