Metal Detector for Children
Childrens METAL DETECTOR:
Highly-sensitive, adjustable size!
This Metal Detector is ideal
for younger children - as an alternative
we also recommend our Viking
1, and (for 10years+) the Scanmaster
Silver model.
Our Metal Detector from the University of
Cambridge range of Science & Education learning toys makes
an ideal gift for the more inquisitive child, encouraging
learning through playing and sparking the imagination. Although
classed as a toy, this is a real working metal detector.
Older children may be ready for a high performance detector.
We therefore recommend that you also visit our
main metal detector section before making your decision
- remember you can always call us up for further expert
advice. |
Famous Scholars: Ernest Rutherford In 1895,
JJ Thomson, discoverer of the electron, appointed a young
Ernest Rutherford as one of his first graduate students
at the Cavendish Laboratory. In 1898 Rutherford left Cambridge
and spent the next twenty years establishing a world-class
reputation with his pioneering work on the structure of
the atom. In 1919 he was the obvious choice to take over
from Thompson at the Cavendish, where he created an outstanding
team of scientists who furthered his work in nuclear physics.
Many groundbreaking discoveries emerged from the Cavendish
under Rutherford's direction, in particular Chadwick's work
on the neutron. In 1932, John Cockcroft and Ernest Walton
first split the atom. |
