Galt Horrible Science Explosive Experiments - Science Kit for Kids Age 8+, Childrens Craft Set, 8 Fun STEM Experiments, Rocket, Volcano, Slime Making and More, packaging may vary

Great present for an 8 year old, kept them busy for a few hours.

Bought as a gift. Child was super excited to receive it!

For my 9 year old daughter. We had great fun making the experiments together.

my grandson loved this

Good fun and educational

I bought this as a present for my niece as she requested a science kit, and as she loves horrible histories/ science etc and is very intelligent I thought this would be perfect for her.Firstly, the product is not like the science kits I had as a child (proper science kits that included test tubes, petri dishes, miscroscopes etc). This is much more dumbed down. The experiments are very basic 'kitchen' experiments, rather than nurturing the scientist in the child. I am guessing this is a health and safety thing as all science kits these days are like that.Secondly, the first kit that arrived to me was missing parts, (so I highly recommend checking the contents of the box when it arrives). Amazon were quick to sort out this matter, but instead of just sending me the missing parts, I was sent a whole new kit and had to return the the one, which was a bit annoying. Not only that, but when the replacement kit arrived it was in a worse condition than my original! The sand that comes with the kit leaked so there was next to nothing left in the bag, and this replacement box had parts missing too! In the end I just swapped out the parts that I needed to make a complete set and sent the damaged one back with the incorrect/ missing pieces!I feel the product is a waste of time for what you get considering this is a supposed to be a science kit to excite and encourage children to explore the sciences, instead its all too safe and boring! I decided to buy this for my niece anyway as I know she'll love it (it being Horrible Science AND what she has been after for over a year), and it'll let me spend good quality time with her. But having to deal with all the hassle of missing parts etc was really irritating. If anything, buy it in advance so you can deal with any issues that I had to deal with.

Great experiments.

A good science experiment kit for children. Simple instructions to follow, you just need to make sure you have the extras that are needed for the experiments.
