Milestones in Science

It's time to explore the 100 most significant experiments and discoveries of all time!

Kids will embark on an active research expedition through the history of science and technology with this unique kit. They'll learn about famous scientists and inventors, like Archimedes, Copernicus, Einstein, Watt, and Darwin, as they reproduce their ground-breaking experiments. As they read about each scientist and their times, what they did and how they did it, they'll then see it themselves firsthand! From the Stone Age to modern times, the history of science comes to life in front of kids in a tangible, hands-on format. This comprehensive kit covers the accomplishments of over 140 scientists and civilizations.

Kids will enthusiastically dive into the clever book-shaped box and immerse themselves in the studies that enthralled the brightest scientific minds that ever lived. As they conduct experiments with the more than 94 pieces included, their workspace will quickly come to resemble the labs and workshops of these legendary scientists.

Young historians and scientists alike will be captivated by this overview of the history of science. In addition to instructions for the experiments, the 96-page, full-color experiment book contains a wealth of interesting historical information, giving context to the scientists and their work. The book is beautifully designed to playfully resemble a scientist's lab journal from the past.
