- Experiment with heat transfer and insolation.
- Build devices to explore wind power, water power, and passive and active solar power technology.

Why Our Experts Love It


We love it when boring ol' textbook science comes to life! The Earth Lab science kit is a wonderful way to get kids interested in science and experimentation.

Exploring the topics introduced in this kit by doing hands-on experiments and seeing real results helps young scientists attain a solid grounding in these often abstract and intangible concepts.

There's no better way to understand the world around you than by seeing science in action. Who knows what's next? MIT?
