In this collection of models one tells the time from the sun during the day and the night. It shows why the moon has phases, why eclipses can occur and illustrates the reason for the pattern of spring and neap tides. Another mimics the motion of the sun and the moon across the sky on any day of the year and there is a moon globe which names all the seas and craters. Included also is a minibook which draws the ideas expressed by the models into a sound scientific framework.

A collection of 15 symmetrical mathematical models to cut out and glue together A stimulating collection of pure mathematical shapes in vibrant color. It includes the five platonic solids and a variety of interesting shapes derived from them. All the models show a high degree of symmetry and harmony and the colours and shades often indicate which surfaces are parallel and help to draw attention to other geometrical relationships within the model.
