Product Description
Begin a lifetime of scientific investigation and understanding with 25 fun experiments in five key areas; nature, physics, chemistry, air and water. Learn what plants need to grow, build a barometer, see how water climbs, watch plants sweat and investigate plant propagation. Discover how a magnifying glass enlarges, how colors mix, how static electricity attracts, how sundials tell time and how a motion picture works. Investigate air pressure, air flow, hovercraft, paper airplanes and suction. Write secret messages, float a paper clip, blow super bubblers, observe capillary action and test displacement. Build a soap-driven boat, mix oil and water, experiment with evaporation, paint with sugar and watch a balloon inflate itself. With a 48-page guidebook, stepping into science teaches science dundamentals with step-by-step, hands-on experiments, while also introducing children to the scientific method itself. Thames & Kosmos.

A couple huge problems with this kit:
1) The experiments given with this science kit are only mildly interesting at best and flat out dull at worst. Sticking a suction cup to a window? Come on. My son is five and perhaps older kids would be more interested in some of the “so here’s what’s really happening” aspect, but for a five year old it’s just boring. This is bad, but MUCH worse is…
2) Almost nothing you need to complete the experiments is actually included in the kit. The kit will include one lame little piece, say a plastic dish, then have a list of four or five other things you need for the experiment. Completely disappointing.
Scientific Explorer’s Mind Blowing Science Kit for Young Scientists is much more fun. It certainly doesn’t teach the big picture science topics that this kit supposedly does, but at least the kids won’t get bored and the parents won’t get frustrated.

My kids really enjoyed this kit. There are lots of experiments and all 3 enjoyed it. My kids range from 4 to 8.

My niece received this science lab as a Christmas present and has been endlessly fascinated with it. What’s good is that she is still using it and having fun long after Christmas. Based on her enthusiastic reports, I give this toy a very high mark.

I bought this to supplement our homeschool curr. It has great hands-on things for the kids, that the kids can actually do! My kids beg me every day to do another one! It comes with a great book that explains exactly what is going on.

My 6-year old daughter loves science, and this is perfect for her! She has great fun with all of the experiments. My only complaint is that a couple of the experiments with the boat didn’t work. I think it is just too cheaply made. But the book always gives extra ideas for more fun at the end of each experiment, so you aren’t limited by the number of experiments, which is great. Overall, a great find.
