A STEM comic and DIY science toy kit for primary school pupils

Scientific Principles + DIY Science Toy Kit (Air Cannon) + STEM + Thinking Skills

Discover how air pressure works through hands-on play with an air cannon. Learning science has never been easier!

‘Mad Science’ is a STEM comic series created especially for primary school pupils. Each book focuses on a different DIY science toy kit, turning children’s fascination with toys into a journey of scientific discovery.

Science Toy: Air Cannon
Scientific Principle: Air Pressure

We cannot see or hold air, yet it can exert a powerful force. An air cannon uses air pressure to launch soft darts.

Children join the D’ZAYER team on a series of science adventures. In the stories, the air cannon becomes a vital tool for solving problems, naturally sparking questions such as:

👉 If we cannot see air, where does its force come from?
👉 How does air pressure push objects forwards?
👉 How does the air cannon’s design help it harness and release the power of air?

Clear, simple explanations also help children understand how the air cannon works from four STEM perspectives: S (Science), T (Technology), E (Engineering) and M (Mathematics). The book also includes specially designed activities that encourage children to observe changes, compare results and put scientific concepts into practice as they play with their air cannon.

Series features:

· Thinking Skills: Develop children’s thinking skills and make learning active and fun
· Scientific Exploration: Build observation and questioning skills, taking science beyond memorising answers
· Mind Stimulation: Strengthen logic, reasoning and creativity through brain-teasing games
· Hands-on Assembly: Help children understand scientific principles by assembling their own science toy from the kit and playing with it
· Parent-Child Reading: Encourage parents and children to read, try activities and discuss their discoveries together
· Classroom Support: Bring learning to life with content suitable for extension activities and group work

‘Mad Science’ is more than a book. It is a STEM learning kit that develops children’s thinking skills through comics they can understand, a DIY science toy they can assemble and play with, and science they can put into practice.
