As kids prepare to head back to school it is time to get them back in the habit of learning. With everything going on right now kids may have some anxiety of going back but you can easily ease that anxiety with helping them learn some new experiments that will get them excited to learn and prepare for a successful school year wherever it may be. This great experiment from Thames & Kosmos will have your child who loves science enjoy those last days of summer! 

My son loves rocks, making crystals and overall Science and this is a great experiment kit that got him excited about making his own rocks. Kids First Crystals, Rocks & Minerals experiment kit would make a great gift for science enthusiast! 

About Thames & Kosmos:

Thames & Kosmos was founded in 2001 by a science museum director and her son, who saw the great need and demand for better science education materials — resources for parents and their children that are more engaging, more effective, more relevant, and more fun.

Thames & Kosmos operates as the exclusive arm of parent company, Franckh-Kosmos Verlags-GmbH & Co. KG — Kosmos for short — based in Stuttgart, Germany. Founded in 1822, Kosmos operated solely as a book publisher until the 1920s, when the company published its first science kits aimed at explaining the world of science to children and young adults by bringing it to life with hands-on experiments.

Generations of European children have discovered their enthusiasm for science through Kosmos science kits. Since 2001, Thames & Kosmos and Kosmos have teamed up to develop science kits for children in the United States and other English speaking markets around the world.

 

Unearth the secrets of geology as you dig deep into the science of rocks and minerals and the crystals that form them. Through 18 hands-on experiments, kids ages eight and up will discover some pretty amazing things about geology, mineralogy, and crystal growing. Become a geologist-in-training as you mold your own crystal geode and grow three different types of crystals that vary in color and shape.

Work with real mineral specimens to learn how to determine a mineral’s chemical properties — such as color, luster, streak color, hardness, density, magnetic properties, and carbon, sulfur, or iron content — and use your findings to identify unknown minerals. As you explore, you’ll get an overview of the geologic rock cycle and discover how the three main categories of rock — igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic — are formed, altered, destroyed, and formed again. Whether you’re a geology enthusiast already, or just discovering this rocking science for the first time, kids first: crystals, rocks & minerals makes for an unforgettable and fun educational experience.
