Topics in the lab book include chemistry, physics, geology, biology, magnets, and many other arenas, giving your budding scientist a variety of ways to discover new facts.

Your child will also get a look at the tools of science with the many materials included in this kit. The test tubes, pipettes, magnifying glass, petri dishes, and other materials help to teach skills such as observation, classification, and measuring.

Perform More Than 70 Experiments

The included lab booklet tells kids--and their adult lab assistant--how to perform more than 70 experiments. The experiments will familiarize your child with the scientific process of developing a hypothesis, performing a test, and analyzing the results.

Some of these experiments are messy, such as the soda geyser experiment and the slime bubbles activity, while others are more simplistic. Whether messy or not, each experiment is geared toward teaching kids about an exciting principle of science. Experiments toward the end of the book encourage kids to take their test tubes outside to see what they can discover and collect.

Learn Cool New Facts about Everyday Items

With wit and humor, the lab booklet offers step-by-step instructions for each experiment and explains the science behind the process. The book helps your child explore cool scientific processes, like why the materials in baby diapers are absorbent, how compasses use magnets to work, and what makes us burp. Kids will learn to determine whether a sunscreen works to block out harmful rays and discover the composition of water.

Reusable Bag for Easy, Mess-Free Storage

Your child's science lab conveniently packs back into its bag for an easy way to keep the materials together when they're not in use. All the powders and beads come in resealable baggies that help to reduce spills and messes. If kids don't use a whole substance in the first experiment, they can seal it up and pack it for later. The science kit's bag features a sturdy zipper with two pulls and a handle on top for carrying.

What's in the Box

Big Bag of Science zippered bag, five test tubes, two test tube holders, one pipette, various trays and containers, one magnifying glass, one balloon, multiple papers, powders, goos, and beads, lab booklet, and instructions.
