Grandkids enjoyed it, some experiments were less than spectacular.
Bought this as a gift for my grandson (5), and he was thrilled. We did some of the experiments outside on the back patio the other day, and all the grandkids participated. The chemicals included in the “Stunning Science” kits are fairly innocuous, but if you have more than one child present, get safety googles for each. It’s never too early to encourage kids to be conscious of safety.I rated this set as 4 stars because the kids enjoyed the experiments. But don’t expect multi-colored explosions of the sort that are pictured on the box. The experiments are much more tame than that.I thought the worst part of the kit was the volcano mold, which requires assembly. There are three “wall” parts, a base, and a rubber band that is somehow supposed to hold it all together. The three “wall” parts don’t actually snap together so there are substantial openings where the walls meet but don’t clamp together. If your plaster is at all runny, it will leak right back out, so be sure to follow the instructions closely.The chemicals come in small sealed foil packets. Once they are opened, you can’t easily reseal them. Have some small resealable baggies to put the packets in if you don’t use up everything so you have them properly labeled.I think getting a plastic tray, foil baking pan, or something similar will contain the mess better than the cardboard tray included in the kit.You can buy citric acid and baking soda at the grocery store if you use up what you received in the kits and the kids still want to repeat some experiments like the rocket ones.I think this kit is good for stimulating young kids interest in science. Older kids will need a little more variety in experiments.

Great education set
The National Geographic Stunning Chemistry Set not only includes high-quality, safe materials but also provides clear and detailed instructions that make complex scientific concepts accessible to both beginners and aspiring scientists.The variety of experiments offered in the set is impressive, allowing users to delve into diverse aspects of chemistry, from basic reactions to more advanced concepts. The inclusion of eye-catching visuals and National Geographic’s trademark commitment to accuracy enhances the overall learning experience, making it both informative and enjoyable.Safety is paramount in any educational product, and the materials are well-packaged, and the instruction emphasize responsible experimentation.

Great Gift
I was looking for a gift for my 9 year old grandson, my daughter suggested this one. He likes to put things together and experiment, so this one fit the bill. I know he will enjoy this one.

After 1 month use: love them so much
my son loved them so much that couldnt wait for the count-down and ripped the whole things off to examine every single one of it. However, some stones could not be found as described in the information sheet… have to google it through.

Me encanta este kit para introducir la quÃmica a niños pequeños. Contiene varios experimentos y los materiales extra que requieren se encuentran fácilmente en casa (agua, jabón para trastes). Lo mejor de todo es que cada experimento contiene una explicación sencilla sobre lo que ocurre y tanto los padres como los niños pueden comprenderlo.

Good present for my grandson who has an enquiring mind
Fabricio Coló –
experimentos fáciles de hacer y de impacto para los niños, las porciones de quÃmicos que contiene creo se quedan un poco cortas, sin embargo alcanza para hacer todos los experimentos al menos una vez.Todas las instrucciones están solo en inglés.

Sus explicaciones y la seniclles de sus experimentos les permite a los niños descubrir el mundo de la fÃsica y la quÃmica

Los materias son de muy buena calidad, las actividades son muy interesantes, pero el problema es que las instrucciones están en inglés y para un niño que no domina el idioma si está muy complicado.
