FREE Interactive Digital Lessons! Developed by STEM curriculum experts! Kid-friendly, interactive mini-lessons! Scaffolded learning for grades K-5!

There is simply no substitute for the kind of sensory learning your young scientists will experience in each box. And besides, what's more fun than sitting around your kitchen table doing science with your kids?!

Your kids might be whipping up a batch of gooey slime as they explore the world of polymers…

Then they'll be learning about air pressure and fluid dynamics as they make a ping-pong ball stay lodged in a funnel, even when turned upside down…

They'll delight in levitating magnets…
growing cave popcorn…
creating their own fossils…
painting beads with sunshine…
sorting ancient shark teeth…
creating an avalanche in a cup…
and much, much more.

They'll be having so much fun with these unique hands-on projects, they might not even realize that they're learning!

Your young scientist will receive a sturdy keepsake box with all the materials needed to perform five or more thrilling, engaging, sometimes disgusting, but always easy-to-understand experiments centered around the following topics:

Kit 1: Slime, Seaweed & Polymer Blobs / Slime, Algas y Polimeros Gelatinosos: Who doesn't love goo? This kid-friendly kit introduces young scientists to the world of polymers. Includes everything you need to conduct six hands-on chemistry activities. You'll make a big cup of slime, concoct edible seaweed 'worms,' build your own non-Newtonian fluid with cornstarch, create a homemade version of Silly Putty, craft a colorful super bouncing ball, and more. Great for children ages 6-11. Includes free online how-to videos packed with great authentic science!

Kit 2: Caves, Crystals and Mineral Treasures / Cuevas, Cristales y Tesoros Minerales: This kid-friendly kit includes everything you need to conduct five hands-on Earth Science activities. Your young scientist will perform a calcite fizz test, grow cave popcorn, create homemade toothpaste, re-create a granitic mineral mash up, and identify minerals the way geologists do, using the Mohs Scale. Great for children ages 6-11. Includes free online how-to videos packed with great authentic science!

Kit 3: Magnetic Field Fiesta / Fiesta de Campo Magnético: Explore magnets and magnetic fields with this kid-friendly, all-included kit! Young scientists will perform six hands-on activities: create their own compass, explore the magnetic properties of lodestone, build a tower of hex nuts that seems to stand on its own, create a trio of magnets that 'float,' construct a magnetic field viewing tray with iron filings, and make their own modified version of ferrofluid. All components are kid-safe. Great for children ages 6-11. Includes free online how-to videos packed with great authentic science!

Kit 4: The Chemistry of Magic / La Química de la Magia: Sometimes science is downright magical - or so it would appear. This kid-friendly kit enables young scientists to perform six experiments that will amaze onlookers! Create a snow avalanche in a cup, concoct some disappearing ink, make wood 'fleas' dance with static electricity, paint with sunshine, cause 'bloody fingerprints' to appear and disappear, and more! All components are kid-safe. Great for children ages 6-11. Includes free online how-to videos packed with great authentic science!

Kit 5: Tabletop Fossil Safari / Safari Fósil de Mesa: Six fun, hands-on activities for young fossil lovers! This kid-friendly kit allows young scientists to sort through dozens of marine fossils (including fossilized shark teeth!), make their own fossil casts from a sea urchin fossil, learn about mineralization with a dinosaur bone, study the intricacies of petrified wood, and make a rubbing of a fossil fish! A superb introduction to paleontology and the scientific method. Great for children ages 6-11. Includes free online how-to videos packed with great authentic science!

Kit 6: Bernoulli's Flight Basics / Conceptos Básicos de Vuelo de Bernoulli: Learn about air pressure and Bernoulli's law with this unique kit. Six do-it-yourself activities help young scientists realize that air takes up space and creates pressure. Build a double loop flyer, a balsa wood glider, a paper helicopter, a vampire test tube and more. You'll even learn the secret to filling up a 9-foot Bernoulli Tube with just a few breaths of air! Great for children ages 6-11. Includes free online how-to videos packed with great authentic science!
