About This Kit

Begin a lifetime of scientific investigation and understanding with 25 fun experiments in five key areas: nature, physics, chemistry, air, and water.

Learn what plants need to grow, build a barometer, see how water climbs, watch plants sweat, and investigate plant propagation. Discover how a magnifying glass enlarges, how colors mix, how static electricity attracts, how sundials tell time, and how a motion picture works. Investigate air pressure, air flow, hovercraft, paper airplanes, and suction. Write secret messages, float a paper clip, blow super bubbles, observe capillary action, and test displacement. Build a soap-driven boat, mix oil and water, experiment with evaporation, paint with sugar, and watch a balloon inflate itself.

With a 48-page guidebook, Stepping into Science teaches science fundamentals with step-by-step, hands-on experiments, while also introducing children to the scientific method itself.

About The Little Labs Series

The Little Labs line begins with Stepping into Science, a starter kit that covers five topics. The kit teaches science fundamentals through 25 experiments, while at the same time introducing children to the concept and process of experimentation. In addition, there are ten single-topic kits: Plants, Physics, Colors, Animals, Weather, Cars, Boats, Time, Cranes, and Navigation. Each kit offers a handful of essential experiments that address common questions children have from their everyday observations.

The simple instructions included in each Little Labs kit rely heavily on illustrations. They have just enough text to reinforce vocabulary and aid in language learning, and also to advise parents and adult supervisors. Although numbered, the kits do not have to be used sequentially.
