Poor instructions by Jeffrey Drews (Tampa, FL)  3 Stars
November 01, 2009
The instructions included with this set are very poorly written. You are left with a couple of photos to figure out how to assemble any given project. You can figure out how to put together most of the projects but for the more advanced projects it's almost imposable to figure out.

pretty good so far by L Kraus  4 Stars
July 06, 2009
My son has been enjoying this kit so far, he just opened it a couple of days ago. It's built very well, but I'll agree with the other reviews, it needs better instructions. You have to figure each project out by the picture, but he has built what he's wanted to so far. I would recommend this product!

Excellent teaching kit by K. Gill (Milpitas, CA United States)  5 Stars
April 16, 2009
I bought this kit to support a home-based learning program for a fifth-grade boy (11 years old). It is EXACTLY what I was looking for - there's the fun of building the labs, then the fun of trying the experiments. The included documentation is very good, as it describes not only how to build the equipment, but also how to conduct the experiments, and it also discusses the related scientific concepts. I'd suggest that parents/educators read through everything ahead of time if they plan to use this kit as a teaching tool, to become familiar with the flow of the material. You can easily jump around between topics within the book, as the labs generally do not depend on each other (with the exception of force scale).
The suggested age range for this kit is 8 - 12, but I'd be inclined to increase the upper limit, as some of the concepts are clearly in middle school territory.

OK - lot of extra parts needed by petey (Marlton, NJ) 3 Stars
April 15, 2009
Parts are high quality. Manual could be written a little better - sort of jumps all over the place. Required extra stuff not included in the kit.

The kids love it! by R. Miller 5 Stars
January 06, 2009
Very clear and understandable instructions, a wide variety of projects and the kids (10 and 12) love it.
