You Are The Carbonator
Foolish fun with fizziness. This clever carbonation kit for kids of all ages uses baking soda and vinegar (that you supply) to create and pump odorless and tasteless CO2 into any liquid. The manufacturer suggests fruit juices, chocolate milk, yogurt, pancake batter, gelatin molds and gravy (gravy?!?), but we know you can do better than that. Includes 21" x 1/4" OD U-tubes, pop-bottle screw caps and (2) concentric 8" tubes for the raw ingredients.

Magic Rocks
Geology for those with short attention spans? The original Magic Rocks®, of course! Mix the solution in a jar of water, drop in the pebbles, and watch them grow into a forest of multi-color stalagmites. Growth starts in 10 minutes, is impressive in 30 minutes, and complete (up to 4" tall) in 2 hours. Extra credit if you can make it grow stalactites by gluing the pebbles to the bottom of a jar, then pouring the solution in and turning it upside down. Who knows? Maybe it will work. Comes with a set of marine decals to decorate the jar. Definitely not for use with living fish. For ages 10 and up.

Disgusting Science Duo
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
This twofer just might start a career in science for the right kid. Or maybe not. The Slime Kit has a small beaker and pack of various gums (xanthum, locust-bean and guar) plus silica sodium tetrabric to turn them into genuine disgusting slime in ten minutes. The Fart-Goop (dyspeptic putty) Kit has the same beaker and ingredients but calls for less water. Stick your thumb in the resulting goop and pull out a noise your grandmother didn't ever want you to make. For ages 8 and up.

It Was Oscillation, I Know…
Stop going around in circles and order this excellent chemistry kit with (6) different experiments (it would be silly to have 6 of the same experiment) based on the Briggs-Rauscher oscillating reaction. Comes with a starch solution, sodium iodate, malonic acid, sulfamic acid, manganese sulfate, sodium thiosulfate, mixing cups, a 90ml beaker, stir sticks, scoops and wooden rack, instructions and teacher's notes. You'll need hydrogen peroxide, a multimeter and a few household items. For ages 12 and up and not without supervision at that.

Gee! That's A Tree?
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
It's Colorful. It's Magic. That's what the package says about this 3-1/2" tall specimen, and that's more than you can say about those big, clunky un-magical trees. Just slide two parts together, stand them up in the little tray with the magical water in it, and watch your tiny tree begin to bloom with an array of multicolor crystals after an hour. Reaches full magical bloom in 12 hours. Just the thing to watch on those days when the cable goes out.
