Mindless play for the rest of us. These are shiny, nicely balanced, high-performance examples of the classic Newton's Cradle – a ball on one end of a row of (5) suspended, barely touching balls swings into the others, and the ball at the opposite end reacts to the collision. The 11/16" dia balls in the small version (all-metal frame 6-1/2" high x 4" x 4-1/4") will collide about 30 times. The 7/8" dia balls in the large version (metal frame 5-1/4" high x 4" x 6", with a wooden base) will collide about 100 times. Awesome. Even more awesome that we paid someone to count the bounces just for you! (Unpacking note: Less awesome if you just yank it out by the suspension lines and pull a couple of balls loose. Be gentle.)]]>&lt;br /&gt; NEWTON'S CRADLE,  SMALL for $6.95 EACH,NEWTON'S CRADLE or  LARGE for $15.95 EACH</description></item><item><title><![CDATA[Uke-ette]]></title><guid>http://www.sciplus.com/singleItem.cfm?terms=15877</guid><link>http://www.sciplus.com/singleItem.cfm?terms=15877</link><pubDate>Wed, 28 Oct 2009 15:09:00 CST</pubDate><description>&lt;img src="http://www.sciplus.com/itm_imgs/web39090.jpg"  /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;<![CDATA[Some folks would say this miniature 4-string "wooden guitar," 15" long OA, with wooden tuning pegs, looks a lot like a ukulele. Guitar or uke, most would say it was just for decorative purposes. Party decoration, Halloween costume, preschool band, etc. The nylon strings won't deliver concert quality but, if tuned, it will still make cute music.]]>&lt;br /&gt; MINI GUITAR for $3.25 EACH</description></item><item><title><![CDATA[<i>Them!</i>]]></title><guid>http://www.sciplus.com/singleItem.cfm?terms=15880</guid><link>http://www.sciplus.com/singleItem.cfm?terms=15880</link><pubDate>Wed, 28 Oct 2009 15:09:00 CST</pubDate><description>&lt;img src="http://www.sciplus.com/itm_imgs/web39427.jpg"  /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;<![CDATA[Re-enact the 1954 classic with your very own giant remote control ant.

The Indiana Jones" RC Ant has scissors-action mandibles and (get ready) a crystal skull remote controller that measures 4" x 2". And yes, you push the eye sockets to make it walk and chew.
