Perfect kit for easy, educational hands-on science that is truly open-and-go.
After attempting hands-on science by using a curriculum manual with my homeschooled children, I finally realized that I needed a "kit" that was open-and-go. And this kit was my answer!
Yes, there are items in the box that one would find in one's own pantry or cupboard, but I appreciate that everything is already there.
I used to use a curriculum, which claimed that all hands-on science experiments would require things found around the house. For some reason, however, those items were rarely in my home.
We have a large family, a child with special needs, are frequently running around taking a child to therapy, helping with our family's new business, etc. and I felt I was letting my children down by not following through with the experiments they so wanted to do.
I bought a few more "easy" science books and tried to implement those, but for one reason or another, things didn't work out.
A friend of mine suggested I look for some "science in a box" kits and I was nervous about what I would find. She recommended this company and I selected a couple of items, hoping it would work.
I was ecstatic when I opened the instructions to the first experiment to discover that the only items I had to fetch from my kitchen were a dish and a cup of water!
And as for future experiments, I have a very short list right up front of things I will plan to have on hand for when the time comes.
Clearly this kit is not for everyone, but for someone who is short on time and needs the simplicty of open-and-go, I recommend it.
fun for my daughter
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
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.
