Kids First: Crystals, Rocks, and Minerals Kit

The Thames & Kosmos Kids First Crystals, Rocks, and Minerals Kit offers an exciting journey into geology. With 18 hands - on experiments, kids aged eight and up can dig into the science of rocks, minerals, and crystals. Mold your own crystal geode and grow three distinct types of crystals with different colors and shapes. Examine real mineral specimens to figure out a mineral's chemical properties like color, luster, streak color, hardness, density, magnetic properties, and carbon, sulfur, or iron content to identify unknown minerals. Gain an overview of the geologic rock cycle and learn how igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks are formed, changed, destroyed, and reformed. Whether you're already a geology fan or new to this fascinating science, this kit promises an unforgettable and fun educational experience.

Using the kit is easy! Start by following the step - by - step instructions for each of the 18 experiments. When growing crystals, make sure to keep the growing area clean and at a suitable temperature. For handling real mineral specimens, use the provided tools gently to avoid damage. Store the kit in a dry place after use to keep the materials in good condition. Remember to wash your hands after handling minerals. If you have any questions, refer to the included guidebook. Have a great time exploring the world of geology!
