Winner of Creative Child Magazine’s Seal of Excellence Award

Introduce young kids to the magic of chemistry. This kit includes a microscope with safe accessories. The science guide contains easy introduction activities to perform with your microscope. Kids learn about chemistry as they make a beautiful ornament and test acids and bases. The kit includes lots of activities and experiments for a younger scientist.

The activities in this kit come from the GEMS guide Microscopic Explorations and Involving Dissolving Teachers’ Guide. This new GEMS science series was created with the UC Berkeley. Recognized throughout the world, the GEMS program pioneered at UC Berkeley is at the forefront in science education today. Already a favorite resource in thousands of classrooms, the GEMS activities are enthusiastically endorsed by teachers and loved by students. Our new series brings the very best of GEMS to kids and families for fun and learning at home.

This kit helps kids learn by: observing, comparing, describing, predicting, drawing conclusions, measuring, recording data, inferring, analyzing, communicating, manipulating laboratory materials and equipment.

The concepts included in this kit are: lenses, magnification, images, properties, shape recognition, pattern, similarity, comparison testing, crystals, dissolving, evaporation, and research techniques of scientists.
