Little Labs: Stars and Planets

Make the most of your child's fascination with the mysteries of space with our Little Labs: Stars and Planets experiment kit! Your space explorer will step into an amazing world, a world in which something as simple as planting and sprouting seeds becomes an experiment in determining which of our planets' atmospheres are able to support life. He'll construct his own solar system replica and constellations, create 'moon craters,' set a rocket zooming off into the wild blue yonder, and more.

• Friendly language and colorful, engaging illustrations make the guidebook easy for your child to understand and follow.
• Each experiment begins with a simple question, such as 'Why is there day and night?'
• Illustrations then clearly show your child which of the kit's pieces (and sometimes common household supplies) are needed and how to combine them to experiment and find the answer to the question.
• The 'Answer' section answers the question posed with an in-depth (but concise and child-friendly) explanation.
• 'Try it' boxes throughout the 20-page guidebook offer your child the opportunity to take her experimentation further.
• At the end, the ingenious 'Knowledge Wheel' provides a fun way for your child to test her memory of all the star and planet facts she's learned.
• Kit includes everything your child needs for her space-scientist expedition, from garden cress seeds and the pots to plant them in, to plenty of colorfully illustrated materials.
