Alien Slime Lab

Click for details
This unique chemistry set is wacky, messy fun for Area 51 believers and skeptics alike, as long as they have a healthy sense of humor. With adult supervision, kids can analyze evidence of alien life forms such as alien blood slime, alien fingerprints, and an alien skin sample for electrical conductivity, pH, and protein, carbohydrate, fat, water, iron, ammonia content. The controls are kids' own blood, fingerprints, and skin cells. The kit comes complete with all the needed ingredients, and even protective goggles and safety gloves. A 28-page lab booklet serves as a painless introduction to scientific data recording, while stressing precautions for safety. Chemistry has never been so much fun. (Ages 10 to 15)

Goose Eggs Hot Frosty Science Kit

Click for details
From the Wild Goose 3 in 1 Science Kit series comes Hot Frosty, the kit that experiments with how chemical reactions can affect temperatures and the atmosphere. Says the manufacturer: "Make a blizzard in a tropical test tube." What experimenters actually do is perform a hands-on study of the opposing reactions of cool and hot, a demonstration of what happens when water mixes with ammonium nitrate and calcium chloride. To find out what happens, you have to have a kit--and an adult to guide the experiment along. Wild Goose is dedicated to the principle of "real science, real fun." This kit provides both! Adult supervision is recommended.
