Today we have made leaps and bounds in science that we couldn't even imagine 50 years ago. You'd think the science toys of our age would be mind-bending in their ability to awe and inspire young chemists and biologists. Instead, kids today are being protected within an inch of their lives, while adults apparently live in dread of unsupervised children running amuck with the powers of modern science at their tiny fingertips.
So how do these new educational toys compare to those made back in the days when science offered hope and inspiration for a better tomorrow? Take a look at a sampling of science toys vintage and new and - very unscientifically - decide who's winning in each case, the past or the present.
