Editorial Reviews
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. --Gail Hudson

Reader Reviews
The set we bought by the same name includes 6 activities - volcano, microscope, earth and moon, weather, crystals, and t-rex. The volcano is a lot of fun. It comes with a volcano shaped mold, then you mix up a sand/plaster mixture included to make it look more like a real volcano, then use vinegar, baking soda, and food color (again to make it look more real) to make the volcano go off. We had a hard time with the microscope since it's pretty cheap. Just a mirror and no light, so you've got to have really good light to even begin. The crystals and earth/moon have been disappointing as well. We've had fun taking the mini weather station outside to check the weather, and my son like to put together the t-rex. So we've been pleased with a few of the activities, but overall it isn't something I would buy again. Comment | Permalink | (Report this)
