With this well-rounded introductory science kit, kids don’t have to just pretend to be scientists — they can actually be scientists! Jump-start their journey into the exciting world of chemistry with a dozen bouncing, bubbling, fun-filled STEM activities. The quick and easy experiments in this set playfully introduce children ages five and up to fascinating natural phenomena. With Blobert — a small blob-shaped figure with googly eyes they create in the first experiment — as their guide, curious young minds can safely and confidently explore different aspects of this fundamental science including surface tension, solutions, mixtures, density, buoyancy, and more. Cast slippery alginate shapes, blow iridescent soap bubbles, create a rainbow in a test tube, and make grapes dance! The durable plastic base station creates a dedicated workspace and provides a home for the pipettes, tweezers, spatula, test tubes, and other tools and equipment included in the kit. A 28-page, full-color manual brings each experiment to life with colorful illustrations, step-by-step instructions, and simple explanations of the amazing principles at work.
