Designed for ages 8 and up, this kit promotes critical thinking and problem-solving skills while aligning with educational curricula. It includes a variety of components and a guide for hands-on learning, making science accessible and fun. ## Description Create a fun spinning toy to separate various mixtures. Fix a shirt button in the centre of a card sheet. Pass a cotton thread through two holes of the button and knot the two ends to make a loop. This simple toy can spin at very high speed and hence, can be used to separate liquid mixtures. Manu Prakash, professor of bioengineering at Sanford University, first demonstrated and perfected using this 'toy' for this purpose. It has opened a host of possibilities for the bio-medical field. Anybody with some paper and string can now centrifuge blood for blood tests without electricity and need for an expensive machine. Bonus: Straw Propeller. By inserting a thin straw through holes made in the middle of a fat straw, we create a propeller, which addresses many fundamental concepts in Physics. ThinkTac TACtivities use simple and accessible materials to develop scientific temper by observing physical realities, testing, hypothesising, questioning and analysing. Variations are designed to encourage tinkering, creating opportunities to apply logic, problem solve and think critically and creatively. All TACtivities are linked to the curriculum and help understand underlying science concepts, assisted by topic guides and videos. Our App provides access to step-by-step videos, interactive simulations, variation videos, topic guides, topic videos and exploration games for most TACtivities. ## Features - A remarkable creation of Prof. Manu Prakash from Stanford University, this "centrifuge" is just made using cardboard, cotton thread and a button. With one's own hands, one can wind the thread and spin the cardboard at about 1000rpm, and easily separate certain colloidal mixtures such as muddy water and even blood! - The kit contains simple, unprocessed materials (paper cup, cardboard, button, cotton thread, capillary tube, ice cream stick, smaller and larger diameter straws) and step-by-step guide for Hands-on learning. - Login to our forums for videos, variations, support and mentoring on further exploration. - Designed to reinforce science concepts while honing creative, critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Curriculum alignment – CBSE V (Blood – components) ICSE VI (Elements, Compounds and Mixtures) SSC VI (Mixture separation). - Also included in the pack - bonus TACtivity of Action Reaction Straw Propeller. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Educational Objective(s) | Logical Thinking, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving Skills | | Batteries Required | No | | Batteries Included | No | | Colour | Multi colour | | Package Dimensions | 25.02 x 12.05 x 1.4 cm; 20 Grams | | Manufacturer recommended age | 8 years and up | | Manufacturer | Tactile Education Services Private Limited | | Item Weight | 20 g | ## Images ![DIY Centrifuge (Science Kit) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31nxb2GZaIL.jpg) ![DIY Centrifuge (Science Kit) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/715xamTJTHL.jpg) ![DIY Centrifuge (Science Kit) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/5152fJHIlkL.jpg) ![DIY Centrifuge (Science Kit) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51KTWIAAX9L.jpg) ![DIY Centrifuge (Science Kit) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71O7XulIm8L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Valuable Product *by A***R on Reviewed in India on 20 February 2019* We centrifuged mud water and it worked. We tried milk and ketchup and it did not work. Simple, yet amazing design. Just the whirring sound produced by moving your hands is incredible. ### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars I want to meet the seller *by A***N on Reviewed in India on 24 August 2019* This product proved anything and everything can be sold on internet!
