This was requested by high school students for a project. They were able to understand it and do all the experiments without much teacher intervention.

3.0 out of 5 stars Flimsy and not what I anticipated
I purchased this for my very advanced scientifically minded 9 year old daughter and it was a disappointment. It's flimsy and needs an adult to help with the assembly. We're very science oriented so we thought this would be a lovely gift but it's poorly constructed and definitely overpriced. It won't last and I'm not sure she'll get much use out of it. My daughter...

4.0 out of 5 stars Great idea, but problems with waterwheel, February 17, 2011

I used this kit for a classroom demonstration and it works great except for the longevity of the waterwheel. The wheel is made out of flimsy plastic which breaks into pieces after 20 or so uses. I ended up building a replacement wheel for the set which is working well for now.

We're very science oriented so we thought this would be a lovely gift but it's poorly constructed and definitely overpriced. It won't last and I'm not sure she'll get much use out of it. My daughter definitely loved it so I guess it does well on that front.

I bought this for my son for his 10th birthday...thinking he would like it since he likes Lego. Boy was I wrong. He wasn't even excited and don't care to work on it. So I got a toy for me. I'm keeping it because he might have an interest later...

This is a great learning toy. It is also a great family time thing to do together with your child.
