Description
With this Thames & Kosmos kit, you’ll learn what plants need to grow, build a barometer, see how water climbs, watch plants sweat, and investigate plant propagation. Discover how a magnifying glass enlarges, how colours mix, how static electricity attracts, how sundials tell time, and how a motion picture works. Investigate air pressure, air flow, hovercraft, paper airplanes, and suction. Write secret messages, float a paper clip, blow super bubbles, observe capillary action, and test displacement. Build a soap-driven boat, mix oil and water, experiment with evaporation, paint with sugar, and watch a balloon inflate itself.

What our experts think
Developing scientific thinking skills from an early age will serve children well as they go through school and life. It was great to see the children marvel at some of the result – it’s a great product for keeping them curious about the world and de-mystifying science so they can approach their science lessons with confidence and enjoyment. You’re never too young to be a scientist!
