Easi-Detectors bring the excitement of a treasure hunt into early years and primary learning. This set of four rechargeable metal detectors — one in each colour — lets a small group explore together, sweeping over sand, soil or the classroom floor and listening for the beep that means they've found metal. They're built for young hands: a simple on/off switch instead of a fiddly dial, and a motion sensor that lets them sleep when they're put down rather than beep away in the cupboard. What's included: 4 rechargeable metal detectors in four different colours A docking station and wall charger — no disposable batteries to buy Up to 8 hours of use from a 3-hour charge, with an LED charge indicator Detects a 25mm coin from around 40mm away Each detector measures 20 cm long by 8 cm wide Suitable for ages 3+ Ways to use them: Hide coins in sand or soil and let children hunt for buried treasure Investigate what's made of metal — a table, a tree, their own shoes Talk about why it beeps over coins but not over gems or plastic Make your own 'ancient artefacts' to bury, find and write about Build communication and enquiry skills with clues, maps and questions Rechargeable, robust and ready to go straight from the dock, Easi-Detectors are a simple way to bring hands-on science and outdoor discovery to a whole group.

Easi-Mic is a simple USB desk microphone that lets children record clear audio straight into a computer — perfect for making podcasts, recording a piece of narration, capturing a reading or adding a voice-over to a project. Just plug it into a USB port and start recording; there's nothing to install. The flexible gooseneck bends to point the microphone wherever it's needed, and the weighted metal base keeps it steady on the desk while children speak. Features: USB 2.0 plug-and-play — records straight into a Windows or Mac computer Flexible gooseneck to angle the microphone to suit the speaker Weighted metal base for stable, tip-free desk positioning Mute button to pause recording, with an LED indicator to show it's live Clear digital speech quality for recording and playback Stands about 35 cm tall Ways to use it: Record a class podcast, radio show or news report Capture children reading aloud to track fluency over time Add narration or a voice-over to a video or slideshow Record music, sound effects or oral language activities Support speaking, listening and digital-literacy work across subjects Straightforward, sturdy and ready the moment it's plugged in, Easi-Mic makes recording clear audio in the classroom simple for children to do themselves.

The Easi-Scope is a simple, handheld USB microscope that brings the tiny details of the world onto the classroom screen. Plug it into a computer, hold it over a leaf, a coin, a piece of fabric or a minibeast, and the magnified image appears live on the monitor — no slides or fiddly focusing knobs to fight with. Turn the top to focus and press the single button to capture a still or a video, so children can save what they find and talk about it together. Features: Handheld, plug-and-play USB microscope — connects to a Windows or Mac computer Up to 43x magnification (shown on a 17-inch monitor), with built-in LED lighting Single-button capture for still images and video 640 x 480 VGA image sensor with automatic white balance and exposure Compact and light — about 73 x 50 mm and just 103 g Software included; no batteries needed — it's powered over USB Ways to use it: Project a live magnified image on the whiteboard for the whole class Look closely at everyday objects, plants, fabrics and minibeasts Capture and save images to label, compare and write about Support the 'working scientifically' strand — observing closely and recording Compare textures and surfaces as part of a materials investigation Affordable, robust and genuinely easy to use, the Easi-Scope is a great first step into digital microscopy for the primary classroom.
