A pair of magnets, compass, flashlight bulb with insulated copper wire and alligator clips, glass prism, set of small mirrors, and balloons make up a set of clever learning tools when they're supplemented with this kit's 64-page book of fascinating science experiments. Kids discover fundamental principles of physics in the most effective way, which is learning by doing! They can introduce themselves to the relationship between magnetism and electricity, and they will discover the fundamental principles of light as it is diffracted through a prism to produce the entire color spectrum. They can perform experiments with air pressure, and they will gain understanding of how a compass points toward the Earth's magnetic North Pole. All these experiments (plus dozens more fun projects) are safe, easy-to-perform, and require only the included materials and objects that kids will readily find around the house. Here's a great introduction to the world of science, perfect for school or home. (Ages 7 and older)
