Celebrate the season with the National Geographic Mega Science Advent Calendar! This exciting and educational Christmas countdown calendar features 13 awesome science experiments and a collection of 11 fossil and gemstone specimens kids can add to their collection! Each day of December as the holiday approaches, kids will open a fun experiment to conduct or a fossil or gemstone specimen from our world-class science kits. The fun and excitement culminate on the final day, as kids unearth a shimmering pyrite (fool’s gold) specimen from the included mini dig brick.
Evaluation comments:
“To blend science and Christmas is a recipe for success!”
“It’s a great idea to have a daily science experiment leading up to Christmas. The box comes with 24 experiments and specimens.”
“My kids were super excited for this set and doing a project every day. Experiments are well planned, and instructions are clear and well written.”
“I think this is a great kit. The experiments are legit. They include learning about acids and bases, crystallization, glow-in-the-dark, and fossils. The directions were simple enough for my child to follow independently.”
“I like that the kit comes with safety goggles, and nice quality plastic beakers and cups.”
“My son loved making the crystallized Christmas tree the most, but was highly impressed by the acid and bases experiment.”
“My kids had so much fun with these projects they did not want to wait for the following days project.”
“The supplies are good quality and have more than is needed for each project so they can be repeated more than once.”
“The kids enjoyed the surprise of the daily projects and doing the projects themselves. The instructions were well written, so they were able to work independently. The quality of the projects are really good and even the stones and specimens were a good size.”
“Great quality and engaging.”
