Product Description

From the Manufacturer

From the #1 series on Discovery Mythbusters uses science to determine the truth behind urban legends. Using scientific method an plain old-fashioned curiosity and ingenuity, the Mythbusters test myths both widely-known and obscure, potentially life saving and seemingly trivial. They've tested the best way to get out of a sinking car, whether toast always falls buttered side down, if a bunch of balloons could actually carry you away, and much more. Offering a unique, offbeat and often explosive look at science Mythbusters is hosted by Jamie Hyneman and adam savage, and build team members Tory Belleci, Kari Byron and Grant Imahara. The team's combined experience in animatronics, robotics, model building and prototyping, along with their pure, gleeful passion for exploration and experimentation, arm them with the drive and ability to create and build anything they need to test a myth. Called the best science program on television Mythbusters is widely credited with making science cool again. Airing on Discovery Channel since October 2003, the series has challenged over 300 myths to date.

It has great instructions and clear picture illustrations. There is really very little that you need to buy in addition and that is cheap stuff like distilled water. We got all 3 Mythbuster kits for our 11 year old for Christmas because he is such a big fan of the show. He can handle this on his own, but we are all enjoying it.

We bought this product for my son's birthday. We have been working through all the experiments together as a family. Each set of instructions is clear and the science is explained in a way that makes even complicated science terms easy to understand and memorable.

An example, today we showed Bernoulli's Law by showing that lowering air pressure under a ping pong ball will not make it leap out of a funnel, but lowering the air pressure above the ball would.

This was purchased for a boy on his 8th birthday. He loved it and couldn't wait to get into it and try to make everything all in one day, we actually had to tell him one project a day! He had a lot of fun with it especially when making all the different paper airplanes and the experiments with the balloons!
