STEM Sampler Kit 1 Have fun with three STEM topics...chemistry, aerospace and electricity. First, your budding scientist with explore the three most common States of Matter in our environment: a solid, liquid and a gas. As your child conducts the three fun and exciting experiments from the Activity Guide, they will be learning that: a solid has a stable shape, a liquid will take on the shape of the container holding it, and that a gas has no shape. Next, discover the four forces that allow planes and rockets to fly: thrust, drag, weight and lift as you experiment with these forces with fun, hands-on experiments and activities while using a paratrooper to investigate drag, a disk launcher to explore lift and more. Then, you will build and test an electromagnet and learn how the electromagnetic field was first discovered. Recommended Ages: Working with an adult, ages - 8+ OR Working under adult supervision, ages - 12+. The kit includes: 1 plastic zip bag, 1 small square of paper towel, 1 spoon, 1 dropper (pipette), 1 set of color tablets (red/blue/yellow), 6 spoonfuls of baking soda, 5 spoonfuls of citric acid (naturally found in fruit), 1 spoonful of popcorn kernels,1 paratrooper with rubber band,1 glider with nose cone, 1 disk launcher, 1 foam shape, 4 paper clips, 1 AA battery, 1 D cell battery, 1 compass (size will vary), 2 meal fasteners, 6 paper clips, 1 wire, 1.5 feet long, 2 wires, 6 inches long, 1-4x5 inch cardboard, 1 steel nail - 2.5 inches long,color crayons, 4 colors Activity Guide for States of Matter, Flight 101 and Electromagnet ** All you need to supply is water, a half measuring cup, a bowl or tray, 3-clear cups, tape and a table WARNING: Items in this kit are for external use only. Do not eat or drink any substance contained in this kit. Keep out of eyes, nose, and mouth. WARNING: This kit contain citric acid, which is a naturally occurring weak acid found in fruit. **Wash hands after conducting experiments. If left on hands, can cause skin irritation. WARNING:CHOKING HAZARD Small parts. Not for children under 3 years of age. To avoid danger of suffocation, keep plastic bag and parts away from young children and babies. Please be aware: The metal parts of the electromagnet can sometimes become warm or hot to the touch. If this happens, turn the electromagnet off. Allow the electromagnet to cool down before using again. WARNING:SHARP POINT HAZARD: Toy contains functional sharp point. Not for children under 4 years of age.
