The science lab at school may be closed, but you can still put on goggles and a white lab coat and learn at home. This Test Tube Experiment Kit comes equipped with five activities that will make you feel like a genius in no time. Kids will get the chance to learn about basic chemistry, physics, and more by creating pop-resistant bubbles, bouncy balls, and other objects that will leave them #mindblown.
And the fun doesn’t stop there. This Crystal Growing Kit will transport you right into the lab where you can learn about the process of crystallization and create your own geological formations.
To Infinity and Beyond

A great way to start your child’s educational space adventure is with this Real Life Sticker and Activity Book. Choose from over 400 stickers to create different scenes in outer space and continue the fun with word searches, mazes, coloring, and more!
And now you don’t have to be a NASA engineer to launch your own rocket. What happens when you mix baking soda and vinegar? What are expanding gasses and what is propulsion? Learn about chemical reactions and physics with this Reusable Rocket Launching Kit. Even the astronauts had to start learning about science and space somewhere!
Take a Walk on the Wild Side

Get up close and personal with these awesome giants of the deep.
Biology class is in session! Here’s your chance to get up close and personal with a great white shark without putting on a wetsuit. This 4D Great White Shark Anatomy Kit allows you to get an inside look at what makes these predators of the deep so powerful.
After learning about their physical attributes, take an even deeper dive into a shark’s world with I Am Shark. Read about what the ocean looks like through their eyes, how they find food, and what it’s like to have that many teeth.
