The Periodic table of the chemical elements is a Tabular method of displaying the chemical elements, first devised in 1863. The layout of the table has been refined and extended over time, as new elements have been discovered, and new theretical models have been developed to explain chemical behaviour. The current standard table contains 117 confirmed elements as of late 2006 (while element 118 has been synthesised, element 117 has not). This table is displayed on this t - shirt.
Adults - Pi Shirt

Air Science
$39.95
Science kits for the inquisitive mind
About this kit:
Did you ever stop and think about air? Of course, we are aware that it's all around us and that it is vital for our breathing and survival. Probably because it is unnoticeable most of the time, we rarely think about it as matter. A matter that has mass, and that can exert immense pressure and force. Air is vital for the existence of life on the planet but can also be a force of havoc and destruction in nature. In this kit we will learn, play and get to know many of the wonders of the air around us! This kit contains 15 fantastic experiments and tricks. It also comes equipped with all the necessary equipment excluding some common household items (such as air). It includes a clear guide accompanied with photos of the experiments steps as well as fascinating scientific explanations and facts.
Not suitable for children under 8 years.

Celestial Buddies
$34.95

So she set to work, and Celestial Buddies is the result.
Challengers
$29.95
On the freezing-cold morning of 28 January 1986, the space shuttle Challenger broke apart over the Atlantic Ocean, killing all seven people on board. Millions around the world witnessed the tragic deaths of the crew, which included New Hampshire schoolteacher Christa McAuliffe. Yet the full story of what happened that day - and the ominous warning signs recognised but then ignored in the years before - has never been told.
Following a handful of central protagonists - from the astronauts and their families to the rocket engineers who tried to stop the fateful launch - Challenger a gripping tale of human overreach; of cynicism and cost cutting; of hubristic 'go fever'; and of an investigation driven by heroic whistle-blowers determined to bring the truth to light. Blending human dram with fascinating science and political infighting, Challenger is a masterpiece of non-fiction storytelling. The result is a story even more extraordinary and terrifying than any of us remembered - or thought possible.

Eureka
$54.95
The common language of genius: Eureka! While the roads that lead to breakthrough scientific discovery can be as varied and complex as the human mind, the moment of insight for all scientists is remarkably similar. The word "eureka!", attributed to the ancient Greek mathematician Archimedes, has come to express that universal moment of joy, wonder-and even shock-at discovering something entirely new. In this collection of twelve scientific stories, Leslie Alan Horvitz describes the drama of sudden insight as experienced by a dozen distinct personalities, detailing discoveries both well known and obscure. From Darwin, Einstein, and the team of Watson and Crick to such lesser known luminaries as fractal creator Mandelbrot and periodic table mastermind Dmitri Medellev, Eureka! perfectly illustrates Louis Pasteur's quip that chance favors the prepared mind. The book also describes how amateur scientist Joseph Priestley stumbled onto the existence of oxygen in the eighteenth century and how television pioneer Philo Farnsworth developed his idea for a TV screen while plowing his family's Idaho farm.
