Lots of wet fun!:
My 10 yr old son loves his Hydrodynamic set. He has to do a bit of planning as he builds his own creations. Once built, adjustment to the water flow rate and direction are usually needed. It helps him understand that everything is affected by something else in the system. We have the deluxe set and use most everything in the set when building. I went to the pet store to buy more tubing and items not supplied but helpful such as "T's" and a manifold usually used to supply air to different locations in a fish tank. I am wondering if the designers of this toy actually used the set. The large tanks require a fair amount of force to assemble as the green rings can be very difficult to press onto the tanks. In addition, being a teacher/engineer, the set could be made educational by explaining concepts of gravity, force, pressure, vacuum and flow. Overall, if your child likes building and water this is a fun one. I was thinking of adding one over my aquarium for fun. Enjoy!
