Editorial Review
Five elaborate kits are packaged into this "Mega Science" home laboratory. Children view live specimens through their "bioscope" magnifier, grow blossoms of crystals, erupt their own volcano, set up their own weather station, or conduct over 450 chemistry experiments. All in all, the set offers over 1,000 experiments! The Smithsonian Institute lesson and guidebook (106 pages) offers clear, step-by-step instructions as well as extensive information about standard science terminology, such as osmosis, evaporation, and capillary action. This is an advanced science set and requires attentive adult supervision and involvement. Before children start any science experiments, supervising adults must read the safety warnings and guidelines. The kit comes with a microplate full of chemicals, a bioscope, a full-color cloud chart, a lab station (a tray for experiments and organizing supplies), safety goggles, a periodic table of elements, and numerous other supplies.
