Thames & Kosmos Kids First Science Kit

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.

• COMPREHENSIVE INTRODUCTORY LAB STATION FOR YOUNG SCIENTISTS: Kids ages 5 and up can step into the role of chemist with their own lab equipment and a dozen bouncing, bubbling, fun-filled STEM activities!
• FUN & ENGAGING HANDS-ON EXPERIMENTATION: Blow iridescent soap bubbles, create a rainbow in a test tube, make grapes dance…these are just a few of the quick and easy experiments kids will conduct as they set out on their scientific journey!
• DIVE INTO BASIC CHEMISTRY CONCEPTS: As kids use their lab station, they’ll explore topics like surface tension, solutions, mixtures, density, buoyancy, and more.
• EXTENDED PLAY VALUE: Kids can use the included tools (test tubes, pipettes, tweezers and more) to continue exploring and learning on their own after they’ve completed the experiments in the 28-page, full-color manual.
• SAFE, DURABLE, USER-FRIENDLY: Designed for use by preschool and elementary-aged children to provide a unique, engaging, educational play experience for kids—and their grownups!
