Not just for the boys!

(Review From Amazon)
General Comments:
This product was a big hit with my 9 year old nephew and with his 8 year old sister as well, as evidenced by the HUGE issue that SHE didn't get one as well! Skip Barbie for her if this is under next year's tree for the boys on your list - I think this is an adventurous toy that will appeal to both girls and boys.

sort of works

We have only done one experiment, so I can only tell you what happened there. First of all the gelatin is very hard to set...it took ours a while longer then they said anmd a couple did not really set. We did the experiment where you swipe something gross with a q tip and swirl it into the gel. We did 4 different things. They all DID eventually grow something..but I am unsure as to whether they grew something from being germs or if they grew something from just being nasty old gelatin. Pretty much all the things (mold basically) looked the same. And it WAS gross...my son gagged when he saw it.

Other then that we've not done another thing. It takes a few days to see any results...actually it took us a week and a half.

I'm using this kit in my classroom - the students are having a great time with the experiments. As a teacher, I love the "interesting facts" and the vocabulary. My kids at home want me to get one for them, too. Fun, hands-on learning that grab kids' attention.
