Product Description
Molecule Beads
Make plump and squishy polymer gel beads to demonstrate the molecular structure of plastics. Form the gelatinous globules by dripping sodium alginate into a solution containing calcium ions. Learn how massive chains of polymers make these fun squishy orbs possible.
Amazing Minerals
Excavate three real mineral specimens from a plaster block: quartz, amethyst, and pyrite (also known as fool’s gold!). Use tools like a real rock hunter. Explore the geological science of crystals, rocks, and minerals.
Crystal Geode
Grow a beautiful, colorful crystal geode — a hollow rock with crystals inside it — by first molding a plaster shell and then filling it with a crystal-forming solution. Learn about geological crystal formations.
Crystal Growing
Grow sparkling, colorful crystals overnight from a safe solution of potassium aluminum sulfate. Single out the largest crystal shard, redissolve the remaining crystals, and repeat the crystal formation process to grow a larger, more striking crystal. This kit includes four packets of crystal-growing salt and two dyes (red and blue) so you can grow a variety of crystals in different sizes and colors.
Bouncing Planets
Make five colorful, rubbery balls resembling planets in minutes. Using a spherical mold and five colors of polymer granules, cast up to five rubbery planet models. Learn why the balls form and how the elasticity of the polymer material causes them to bounce.
