Product Description
Build, explore and discover the wonderful world of light. Your aspiring scientist will have a blast learning the facts and fundamentals of light behavior. Conduct tons of mini-experiments: bounce and bend light, split and spin color, mold lenses, construct a kaleidoscope, box a camera, capture a shadow and make a simple microscope.
This was purchased for a seven-year old boy so requires additional assistance to use. So far we haven’t used the kit but the intention is to use it for a home-school project that hopefully will be fun as well as educational.

This is a great kit packed with information.
However the included LED light saber can be a hazard as the light coming from tip is too powerful and kids (or even adults) who would be temped to look into it could be hurting their eyes.
Also I have a suggestion for small improvement. They include small red, green and blue transparent sheets that are supposed to be cut up for the Kaleidoscope. Instead I found these to be valuable to show how white light (say sunlight) passing through these sheets will become colored. These are also useful to show how different colors can be overlapped to create new colors. Seems a much neater way to explain the concept rather than mixing messy colored liquids (not inlcuded in the kit, anyway).
Otherwise, this is an awesome kit.

This was bought as a Christmas gift for my grand daughter who just turned 12. She is very inquisitive and wants to know everything about science. She was delighted. The price was 20% below my local “Hobby Lobby” store, and came 5-days after I placed my online order. Good service from Amazon’s partner!

My 6 year old son loves this science kit. It contains some very well thought out activities with easy to follow instructions (although, for a 6 year old, you’re oging to be helping along). Not just a toy…it really does teach some fundamental physics.
Having purchased the Light kit, I’m going to get some more of them.
Oh, and by the way, the grown-ups will probably like playing with this kit as well
For the rpice, you just can’t go wrong in my opinion.
