NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC Beautiful Chemistry Set – Mega Science Equipment with 100+ Straightforward Experiments- Make a Volcano and Launch a Rocket, STEM Tasks for Children Ages 8-12, Science Toys (Amazon Unique)

Fun for hours!
Bought this as a gift for a nine year old. She absolutely loved it. We were really impressed with the variety of materials included in the set. There were a lot of experiments she could do on her own.

Grandkids enjoyed it, some experiments were less than spectacular.
Bought this as a gift for my grandson (5), and he was thrilled. We did some of the experiments outside on the back patio the other day, and all the grandkids participated. The chemicals included in the “Stunning Science” kits are fairly innocuous, but if you have more than one child present, get safety googles for each. It’s never too early to encourage kids to be conscious of safety.I rated this set as 4 stars because the kids enjoyed the experiments. But don’t expect multi-colored explosions of the sort that are pictured on the box. The experiments are much more tame than that.I thought the worst part of the kit was the volcano mold, which requires assembly. There are three “wall” parts, a base, and a rubber band that is somehow supposed to hold it all together. The three “wall” parts don’t actually snap together so there are substantial openings where the walls meet but don’t clamp together. If your plaster is at all runny, it will leak right back out, so be sure to follow the instructions closely.The chemicals come in small sealed foil packets. Once they are opened, you can’t easily reseal them. Have some small resealable baggies to put the packets in if you don’t use up everything so you have them properly labeled.I think getting a plastic tray, foil baking pan, or something similar will contain the mess better than the cardboard tray included in the kit.You can buy citric acid and baking soda at the grocery store if you use up what you received in the kits and the kids still want to repeat some experiments like the rocket ones.I think this kit is good for stimulating young kids interest in science. Older kids will need a little more variety in experiments.

Great Granddaughter loved this science kit
I got this for my great-granddaughter who just turned 9 years old. She stopped opening the rest of her presents after she opened this one. She also squealed with delight and ran to the kitchen table to get all the stuff out of the box. It was a hit, and I found out from her mom she has spent a lot of time doing the experiments. This was a win-win for her, and her mom, and me. She is always doing something and never sits still, but this got her attention and kept her busy for quite a while. If you have a child who likes science, they will love the kit.

Very fun projects.
This was a gift for my 7 year old nephew and he loved doing the underwater volcano and the volcano eruption. He will never forget how chemicals react now and how important it is to not mess with chemicals that can easily be found at home.He also learned so much about volcanos, lava, magma and how dinosaurs became extinct.Just form a simple project he learned so much with actual hands on experience.I recommend this for kids.

Good present for my grandson who has an enquiring mind
