"Amazingly, these sustainably harvested wood planks are suitable for children ages 3 and up, enabling them to create projects as simple as a small tower or as intricate as a six-legged bug. Instruction manual included. Good gifting."
Salad Sunrise by Droog Design
1 recommendation
"Sitting in physics class in high school, I never knew I'd be using the same laws for my salad dressing years later. Oil is less dense than vinegar and as such floats on top. So if you need some oil, you use the spout on the left of the picture, and if you need some vinegar you use the one on the right. Genius and geeky. Just my style."
HP: 10s Scientific Calculator

"Tyson, Liu and Irion are some of the best astronomers and science communicators around today, and their book "One Universe: At Home in the Cosmos" is a brilliantly written and accessible book for anyone fascinated in what's around us, what makes things tick and the natural order of the universe. They take complex ideas and theories and make them understandable, they reduce the immense scope o..."
The Universe - The Complete Season One (History Channel): The Universe: Movies & TV
1 recommendation
"Probably one of the most elegant and descriptive documentary series about the universe, physics, and evolution... the universe dvds are just amazing. with prominent scientists like Neil Degrasse Tyson, they break down even the most complext issues (like space-time and quantum physics) into understandable concepts for people who arent physics majors."
Physics of the Impossible: A Scientific Exploration into the World of Phasers, Teleportation, and Time Travel: Michio Kaku
2 recommendations
"This is a new book from Michio Kaku, an author of the bestselling "Parellel Worlds". I don't care much about phasers, but boy am I waiting for that teleportation thing. Is it possible at all though? Gotta read the book to find out... Other interesting things covered in this book are time travel, telepathy, antiuniverses, perpetual motion machines, and precognition."

"Portal is the only pure-puzzle first person shooter I've ever seen. Loads of 3D physics fun and a real sense of humor. This bite-sized Half Life mod builds to a compelling crescendo -- the best atmosphere since Half Life 2. Team Fortress is The Incredibles meets Counterstrike. Great range of character abilities makes every match-up interesting. I haven't even begun Half Life 2 parts 1 and..."

"This 2-player card game is a fun, painless way to learn about the elements of the periodic chart. With some quantum physics thrown in for game play excitement, chemistry has never been more fun!"
Flying Turtle Ride on Toy
4 recommendations
"Kids love to ride it - adults love to ponder over how it works!!! It is amazing to see in action... no pedaling - simply turning the handlebars slightly will propel it forward. Here's what the website says: The Flying Turtle® is a patented "sit-skate" that zips along any hard, smooth surface by swinging the handlebars from side to side. There is no motor, no batteries, and no pedaling. It's..."

"I'm not sure why I'd ever need this, since I'm done with college, but the idea is still kind of cool."
Low Temperature Stirling Engine
1 recommendation
"I bought one of these, and it now lives on my desk. Whenever I feel like playing, I just pop it on a cup of coffee, and it runs. It's a really nicely engineered piece of kit, and a real crowd puller. It appeals to the engineer/scientist in me."
Soap Bubbles: C. V. Boys
1 recommendation
"Written for the boy scouts in the early 1900's this book is one of the clearest books written about a scientific subject for amateurs. I used this in high school physics class to do a presentation and fell in love with it. Good for anyone age about ten and up."
Warped Passages: Unraveling the Mysteries of the Universe's Hidden Dimensions

"I saw Lisa Randall talk tonight on the Charlie Rose Show. If she's as good a writer as she is a speaker, then I want to read this book."
Head First Physics - O'Reilly Media

"I love science but can never get my head around the math. This "screw the way your teacher taught you" guide to physics uses an easy to understand conversational style, pictures, diagrams, and graphs, and plain ol' wit to help you understand."
Schrödinger's Cat Is Dead - T Shirt
1 recommendation
"There's something wonderfully, starkly wrong with this t-shirt and I like it. It basically says: Screw you, quantum physics. Screw your fancy-pants wave-functions and theoretical thought experiments, your billion dollar atom-smashers and snarky lab coats. The cat's DEAD. Get over it. For those not in the know, the famous physicist Schrödinger wrote a ridiculously lengthy, convoluted paper cramm..."
xkcd.com - A Webcomic
1 recommendation
"I only recently discovered xkcd, but within days I felt compelled to find the archive and read the strip from beginning to end (well, current, it's still running). How can I describe it? It's an interesting mix. It's mostly for laughs, often at some science, computer geekisims or geek culture bits, so you might miss some of the jokes (I'm pretty geeky myself but even I sometimes get lost). But ..."
World of Goo - PC game
1 recommendation
"This is an addictive puzzle game where you need to build things with the help of the "goo" -- these cute, oil drop creatures that can be stretched and connected in various ways. This is kind of like a cross between building with blocks and playing Jenga with cute animation thrown in. I both got frustrated and laughed out loud while playing this game. There are 47 levels and it is often fun to..."

Thames & Kosmos Little Labs: Cars and Motors
1 recommendation
"One of the parts of first and second grade science curriculum in the state where I live (and probably where you live, too) is basic machines. This little kit is geared with 5 to 7 year olds in mind and comes with all the parts needed for them to start building bicycles, tricycles, cars and even a motor!"
Thames & Kosmos Wind Power Science Kit
1 recommendation
"Clearly it's never to early to start teaching kids about sustainable energy- what cooler way than by constructing a working wind turbine? This looks like a great kit- it teaches about the environment, physics and mechanics all at once. Once the kit is assembled the turbine can be used to power an LED or recharge a rechargeable battery."
Phun - 2D physics sandbox
1 recommendation
"Phun is freakin' fun!! Draw physics enabled 2D object with your mouse and watch them react in the moment. Fiddle with your object's density, viscosity, elasticity and inertia. Knock things down, bounce them around, wade them through water & otherwise pleasurably and inventively pass time. Educational for kids and downright cool for the rest of us.
