Try mindware.com. They have a lot of cool science related stuff for kids.

Hi All! My 12 1/2 yr. old aspie son LOVES electronics and weather...I am trying to get a unique gift for him that he will LOVE.

My son is almost 9 and it sounds like they love the same things! I also plan to

get mine a bigger snap circuit set. I have been watching for a good price on

Amazon. My son has always loved weather. He has watched the weather channel

since preschool and his favorite show lately is Storm Stories, lol! I would

also love to know about weather related gifts. I saw Discovery has a tornado

maker, which he would probably love, just not sure since it seems like it would

get old. My son has also loved the little science kits where you can make snow.

I remember going on a kindergarten field trip to our local science center...when

they were in the " weather room " they would ask ridiculous weather questions

assuming the kids would not know. It was funny cause my son was answering them

all and the guy finally accused me of giving him the answers, lol. I just

replied by telling him my son's favorite channel was the weather channel! Which

reminds me...I have also purchased a membership to our science center...he loves

it there. I plan on giving this to him for his bday...gotta love those Dec

bdays!

With regards to the weather, The Weather Channel has a store site. It's http://store.weather.com/. They also have some videos on "When Weather Changed History". Happy shopping.

My 11 y/o son also loves Mindware. That is all he asked for for Christmas this

year. He wants 3D architectural kits, and circuit kits. He did also ask for

the Mindflex game, where you move objects with your thoughts. He also likes the

Mythbusters kits where you can prove or disprove a myth, and loves the the

Exterminator show!
