Product Features

What's Inside the Box?

With 28 pieces, this kit has everything you need to conduct experiments like a real scientist including: a station base, equipment stands, test tubes, a scalpel, petri dish, and lots of tools and non-hazardous chemicals. The lab station itself is easy to assembly and reconfigure for different experiments. The full-color manual guides your scientific exploration through 10 out-of-this-world fun, slimy, cool experiments.

The Mission

The experiments in the manual are presented as assignments from Mission Control. As an extraterrestrial researcher, you are tasked with identifying different types of slime that have been discovered on an alien planet! The 10 assignments will have you testing the viscosity of slimes, conducting gravity tests on them, dissecting them, and more. You'll even have the chance to mold your own glowing slime alien!

Educational Value

While the storyline of this kit is purely fictional and intended only to make scientific exploration more fun and playful, the experiments are 100% real! Each experiment is accompanied by a straight-forward, easy-to-understand explanation for what's happening and why it's important. The manual introduces kids to scientific terms like molecules, polysaccharides, viscosity, photons, iridescence, and more. An additional 'Check It Out' section provides a brief introduction to the research some scientists are conducting to determine whether or not intelligent life exists on other planets.
