Great Science Fun!, June 4, 2007
= Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars = Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Tree of Knowledge Weather Science Kit (Toy)
I bought this for my 8 year old along with some other science type experiments. I was very happy with this kit, unlike the others I bought by a company called poof slinky on amazon which were more like toys and not for learning.
This kit had true science facts to learn and lots of experiments to try from simple to complex. Some my son could do on his own, and other he needed a little help. We have tried about 10 of the 25 or so experiments and my son has learned alot of weather related science.
I would definely pay extra for kits by this company if you are looking for a true learning tool. This kit was far better for the few dollars more it cost. I will definetly be buying more of the kits from this company.

This item is not that durable. Also, the battery compartment if very difficult to close and then when we wanted to open it, we couldn't. Dissappointed that the wind ranges are not actuallying on the item. Does not really register any wind unless it is alot to get all three lights to light up. Low wind speeds do not register the first two lights (or the lower range). Would have been nice to have the ranges listed right on the item.
Also the 30 fantastic activities are not fantastic. The one my son was most excited about is making lighting. I was curious as to what they would have him do too. All they have you do is put a blanket over your head and pull it off to creat a static charge. Does not work all that well. Must really really watch and try it many many times before actually getting the "lighting".
Overall this item did not meet my expectations nor does it hold my sons attention. Another toy sitting on the shelf collecting dust.

As a teacher I was disappointed in how little you can do with this kit. I was expecting a more substaintial teaching tool. It was enough for a 5/6 year old, but not beyond
