Product Information

First, let’s take a look at this planetarium star globe that will transform your room with the major constellations across the walls and ceilings. It is best to display in a small room or near the wall to view the images/words more clearly and sharper focus. With these Night Vision Goggles, kids will discover a different world at night! Light-weight and hands-free, they’re the perfect accessory for exciting missions and adventures! The blue-tinted lenses and bright LED light beams, offer a good view of one’s surroundings in the dim and dark. Kids can even concentrate their night vision with the flip-out scope and 2X magnifying lens.

We found the instruction leaflet a little confusing and unclear in places. It lists equipment that isn’t used under some experiments, mentions colouring colours (red) that aren’t included and give ratio proportions that conflict with previously stated amounts. But we muddled through and had fun and tended to get some form of crystal growthOver the years something we have always encouraged with the children is stem activities. been something that all of the children have enjoyed doing. It helps having a granddad who is a science teacher as he has always found fun stem activities to help entertain the grandchild with. The company reserves the right to substitute the prize for one of a similar type/value if the prize above is not available. There is a range of experiments in the booklet from easy all the way up to more complex. I did try to get E to start with the basic and build on it but she was adement she want’d to do the shaped crystals first. So I read through the instructions with her before she got started to make sure she knew what she needed to do and then assured her I would simply supervise as she was very keen to give it ago on her own and as she is 10 and the age on the kit is 10+ I felt she would be capable. Come and discover the world with Science Mad! Science Mad offers children real scientific equipment and kits with real working features that will inspire curiosity and fun ways of learning. We were thrilled to receive these two amazing products for review: the Planetarium Star Globe and Chemistry Lab. Each kit comes with a handy experiment booklet full of experiments you can conduct with your kit. E decided she wanted to try the moulded crystals as her first experiment so followed activity 8 from the booklet.

This Metal Detector features sensitivity and volume controls, as well as LED lights and audio alerts. After E had finished clearing everything away, we sat down together to talk about her experience. E told me she really enjoyed the experiment and although it was disappointing that the smaller shaped crystals had not worked this time, she wanted to try again. I explained to her that sometimes experiments don’t work as you had hoped but this is part of the process. You simply try again and make adjustments, for example maybe she needed to remove them sooner from the container or maybe they needed topping up with solution after a day or two. It could simply be that where they were left to evaporate was too warm or cold. But that’s the joy of science, it’s trail and error. E is now trying to decide which crystal growing experiment to do next. She wants to leave it until half term to do so she will be able to keep a closer eye on things. I’m pleased she is keen to try again and I am looking forward to seeing what experiment she trys next. Additionally, mixing saturated solutions isn’t an exact science. So there is a little trial and error required, especially regarding the amount of water required (you sometimes need a little more than stated. And the crystal structures can be quite fragile, especially when not fully grown (still liquid solution left) so care is needed when moving them about.View the smallest of specimens up close to see fascinating detail that the eye can’t see! With bright battery-powered illumination, up to 100X magnification and everything kids need to prepare their own slides. The kit comes with slides, tools and accessories. The Microscope comes with 25X, 50X, 100X Magnification. It lights up for extra clarity.

My daughter is fascinated and intrigued to learn about the night sky and has a multitude of questions about the solar system. I think this is a simple and easy to use planetarium for young children. It helps them to learn the fundamentals of the universe. It is good value for money and should last a long time.
