This has been sitting on our shelf for about a year because it's a little more labor intensive on my part than I wanted it to be. For the recycling project they want you to make paper by blending used paper up in your kitchen blender. Sorry, but I don't want to wreck my blender to make a sheet of paper. Also, the kit does not contain very interesting items. There are a couple seeds and some dirt to plant them in, there is a ruler, and there are some magnets.

I bought the first 3 series of these kits to help my son in science, as we homeschool. He is in third grade, and has already really covered some of this stuff, but this is a great tool to motivate him. He really enjoys using these science kits, and they come complete with everything you need to perform any experiments. He really enjoyed learning how to make paper, and now he has the materials to continue making paper whenever he wants to. He also loved the magnet experiments. I enjoyed the seeds, growing beans and wheat and learning how to graph on a chart, which coincided perfectly with math graphing. Anyway, with each kit you get 3 major "themes" and within each theme you get at least two experiments, sometimes many more. Therefore, if you use these kits regularly they will keep your little scientist very busy! I plan on buying each and every one of them, they arrived in a timely manner, they are packaged nicely in neat boxes, they include all the materials, along with a work packet for the child and a guide for the teacher/parent. They are worth the price.
