Evaluation comments:
“This is a real science experiment (STEM learning) where children learn about crystal growth, which in this kit happens within moments and is fully grown within 6 hours- so great for impatient children.”
“The kit includes a real fluorite crystal to compare with what they grow.”
“The educational guide provides facts about how crystals are formed, which can help children understand what is occurring.”
“This is an amazing opportunity for young children to learn about science experiments, crystals, develop patience and observations skills.”
“They can watch it change before their eyes.”
“I like the fact that there are gloves (two pairs) and goggles included. I like that it is very clear that parental supervision is required, this makes a great parent and child activity to do together.”
“This is a great gift for children and can encourage a love of science. Parents and teachers would like this to teach about science, patience, asking questions, making hypothesis, etc.”
