I purchased Mind Blowing Science for my 5 year old son who just recently become interested in Science experiments. It was perfect! We have only had a chance to do a couple of experiments since receiving the kit but it has been been fun. My son enjoys it due to the easy instructions and measurements that he can do by himself. I can not wait to try all of the other science kit options.

Rating: 
The kit is great, we are having a good time working our way thru the experiments....I really like that plenty of the chemicals are included...enough to do each experiment at least 2-3 times.

Expanding a four Year Old's Mind
Posted 7/15/2008 by Margaret Goldberg
Rating:
I recently purchased Mind Blowing Science and My First Weather Station for my 4 YR old grandson. He was is so enthusiastic about the experiments. We have just begun using it today, and have made clouds, icebergs and are in the midst of setting up the weather station. He floated many icebergs in a tub of water and used his toy boats to recreate the sinking of the Titanic, which we read about on the internet. Skipped the part about any passengers dying. For now all were saved until he's old enough for the whole story.
We have also done Dancing Powders, Color Changing Liquids, and Acids and bases. He just doesn't want to stop. These are simple experiments and easy to explain. Opens up a new world to a child.
He can't wait to come back tomorrow to do more.
I am going to order the ant farm and spider web frame next.
Great activities for gramma and grandchild to do together.

Gift to 5 year old grandson
Posted 11/29/2009 by Jan
Rating:
I opened the box to see what items I would need for the experiments. Such as grape juice, flour, paper plates, coffee filters, markers, etc. I gave him the gift in a shopping bag with the things he would need to do the experiments. He was so excited because he had everything to try any of the projects.
PS. Grandma had fun too!!

Not Mind Blowing Science
Posted 6/29/2006
Rating: 
Setting: Homeschool
This product is not worth buying. I am so disappointed with this product. Mine arrived with a cracked vegetable oil lid, so everything was loaded in oil-ruining the goldenrod paper for one experiment. But even if it had arrived in perfect condition, it was still lame. Just because it is aimed at young children does not mean the "experiments" should be boring. 12 experiments are really just color changes, with only a couple being at all interesting and non-repetitive. And finally, the quailty of product, cheap, no, beyond cheap. Do not purchase this product unless you expect popsicle sticks, cotton swabs, baking soda, cornstarch and bath fizzies. Any parent could search the internet and library resources to find much cooler at-home experiments to do with their kids.

Hours of fun for "would-be" scientits
Posted 1/16/2011 by cristian carlone
Rating:
Our 5 and half year old son asked for "a game to make experiments" for this Christmas and was very excited to receive this kit and started to play with it immediately. Under the supervision of an adult, this game has simple, yet amazing (for a young kid) chmical experiments that while having fun start to interest and explain chemistry to young minds. All the components are safe and not harmful. Instructions are very simple and detailed and also providing tips on some extra scientific investigations. The experiments are progressing in "difficulty and complexity". There are a total of 12 experiments, but others can be devised with the compounds provided.
It's fun to see our young son measuring scoops of baking soda and citric acid to make neutralizing reactions or adding some specific quantities of water to a solution for a reaction. It's indeed a game for inquiring minds.

I couldn't believe that there was a science kit out there that relates to 3-4 year olds! My grandson was amazed at the experiements in this kit and would ask so many questions after each experiment. He is 3 1/2 years old and this has been a wonderful toy for him!

Fun Science for a 5yr old

My son and I have had a great time with "Mind Blowing Science"
He is mixing and measuring and feels every bit the Mad Scientist. I'm having a great time as well. Fun activities with easy to understand instructions that i can relay to him so he is fully involved. I would not hesitate to recommend.

Posted 9/22/2006 by Susan Gilbert
Rating:
My sons (ages 4 and 5) love this kit. They have used it with friends who also liked it. I bought it again as a birthday party gift. An adult needs to help with reading directions, but the child is able to do the actual experiments. There is extra information about why things happen that usually doesn't interest my boys but an older child might have more interest in that. Overall, a nice rainy day activity with many different things to do over time.

Mind blowing science

Setting: Home
A fun way to introduce science to younger kids. Our 5 year old won't put it down, so we had to limit to 2 experiments a day! He loves the way the colors change and the fizzing, even if he doesn't completely understand the principles behind them. We were even able to include his 2 year old sister in the mixing, which was a plus. And a lot of the components can be found in the kitchen when the stocks are low.

We purchased Mind Blowing science for our sons fifth birthday. He really has enjoyed the process of creating with these experiments. I love the easy to follow instructions. As well as teaching basic science, he also has to develop the understanding of following instructions to get the reaction from the experiments.

Mind Blowing Science Review: in general terms, excelent!
Posted 1/11/2010 by Irene Patricia Lozano
Rating:
At the first view , it seemed to be interesting product (at least for me, as a food chemist). I wasn't wrong. After the first three activities, my daughter (she is 5 years old) told me excited: when I grow up, I wanna be a chemist! chemistry is great!
I just have one recommendation: we have to think golbally, and for that reason, I think that could be a good idea to include the text of the activities y several languages. I speak and understand readings in english, but not everybody does. That is the only point I have to tell in relation to the things that the supplier can improve.

I purchaes this item for my three year old Nephew. I think he has found a career interest! I am especially happy as it encourages famil and sibling participation, as they explore how to create different colours and mixtures. I would recommend this for any child of that age who has siblings in the same age group. It is something they can play with together.
