« Satisfactory Science »

I purchased this kit for my 4 year old daughter. She currently wants to be a "Scientist" when she grows up, so she demanded a "real" science kit. When we opened it and saw it had 3 test tubes she nearly exploded with excitement. "IT IS REAL SCIENCE!" The experiements are very simple, but fun and satisfying. It is a great way to introduce science concepts to young minds. It isn't inquiry-based science because the experiments are structured step by step, but it has sparked enough curiousity that she is starting to ask questions and seek answers without the guidance of a kit, and that is the ultimate success. Excellent purchase.

« Great gift for a godchild »

I purchased this as a birthday present for my godchild a 7 year old boy. After talking with his parents I found out it was a complete hit and his favorite birthday present by far.

« Fun for 6 year old »

This set was a hit with my 6 year old granddaughter. She liked all the experiments and was able to perform them with minimal help. It didn't take long for her to go through all of them, though, and she was wishing there were more.

« A prepatory toy for Ivy League wannabes! »

I gave this gift to my two nieces(their fathers are brothers). The opening of the one I witnessed created great interest - actually her father seemed as much interested in it as she did! It brought them together on the project of trying all the experiments....I felt my job had been done! LOL

« Awesome fun for the Junior Scientists »

Both of my kids ages 8 and 13 loved this kit. We did all the experiments over Christmas Break. Provided a little refresher in reading, science, and vocabulary when they were out of school for a week without any complaints from the kids because they loved it. Fun experiments are easy to do and cool to watch. Definitely recommend it!
