My daughter (6) has been having fun with this first science kit. It is good for her age, but she does need adult help with it.

Fun for Two by T. Howard (Lancing, TN USA)  4 Stars
March 20, 2009
This kit was purchased as a gift for our 6 year old son. It has been a way for two (our son and one of us) to get together for some wholesome, educational, and quality fun time. We would highly recommend this kit. It is great to have everything you need for some basic experiments in one box.

Science kit by law mom  3 Stars
January 14, 2008
I was a little disapointed with this kit. We have seen better. I have to say that it does have educational notes in with each experiment to help teach what is going on. I was expecting a wider variety of experiments and more props. Kids love most of all to mix things and there were no droppers or little scoops to allow them to do that. The "chemicals" were all in opaque silver lined bags so they were hard to pour and impossible to get a hand in to dig contents out meaning that mom had to pour it all into the one measuring spoon taking some of the fun out of it all. A different kit we had purchased came with test tubes, droppers, measuring cups, little scoops etc. and they had more fun when they were able to do more things themselves! It's not a bad product just looks more involved from the box than it really is.

assembling obvious ingredients and ideas better than I would by scientist and artist mom (California) 3 Stars
December 08, 2007
As a scientist mom you'd think I could easily get baking soda and vinegar from the kitchen and do these experiments without a stupid kit.
However I found that having specific "equipment" (test tubes) and "materials" engaged the interest of my kids. And most importantly, step by step suggestions for what experiments to do and what to say about them, helped me make this both interesting and educational for my kids.
My kids (3 and 4) went wild testing everything in the fridge to see if it contains acid (and thus if it would make baking soda fizz); they liked that they could guess from sourness and then test their predictions.
Ever since then my kids keep pestering me to do more chemistry. That's pretty significant. They make up (often quite wrong) theories about why different liquids fizz or mix the way they do. They got thinking about the fact that this is a question that can be asked, or that demands an explanation. To me that is a huge educational value.
Overall you could easily do the same things with kitchen materials and a well designed plan, but the kit makes it easy.

waste of money by P. Andrew Trentacoste (Philadelphia, PA United States)  1 Stars
December 07, 2007
I did this with my 8 and 5 year olds. They were very excited about it- the box is very appealing. Sadly, there is more packaging than content. Kids lose interest after one "experiment." The "safe chemicals" are really just household items (you need to use your own anyway)- with a quick online search, you can make your own fizzy experiments. Any attempt to make this "educational" is a sham.
Overall, a shameful attempt to separate you from your money
