Experiment Subscriptions

A subscription to a science magazine is an amazing and unique gift idea for kids who love to learn and experiment. Although technically part of the kids' section, it is important to note that many, if not all of the experiments require adult supervision. A subscription to MEL Science provides two to three fun and exciting monthly chemistry kits, each covering a different topic. Starch penguins, color-changing milk, and foam eruptions are some of the most noteworthy experiments! In addition to being great learning tools, the kits give science-loving parents a chance to bond with their children.

Root-Vue Self-Watering Farm

Observation is a virtue prized by scientists. The developers of Root-Vue Farm understand the value of observation to the scientific method and incorporated it into their child-friendly project. The Root-Vue Farm, a garden on a hill, offers young scientists a new perspective on plant propagation.

Once your loved one plants the 3 seed packets in the planting box, the built-in acrylic window provides a firsthand look at the amazing growth that is taking place just beneath the soil's surface. Scientists can get to work on their research the moment they open the box thanks to everything necessary to enjoy the farm - planting box, growth mix, seeds, labels, informational booklet, and even a growth chart for monitoring plant growth.

Periodic Table Blocks

Colorful blocks transform the boring, 2-dimensional periodic table into a fun, interactive experience! Uncle Goose's 20 blocks feature different element names, symbols, and atomic numbers on each of their six faces, and allows curious science lovers to learn about 120 different elements that comprise our modern world. The periodic table blocks are made from soft basswood and non-toxic ink, making them safe for scientists young and old alike. Designed in the USA, this gift follows safe, ethical design practices. Children can now explore some of the planet's harshest chemical substances without any danger to their well-being - a win-win for parents and children alike.

Subatomic Atom Building Game

A science nerd may find it difficult to enthuse those around them about their favorite subject. It makes learning science fun for everyone, whether you're a professional or a novice. The intelligently designed strategic element-building game offers scientifically accurate lessons, while at the same time providing a fun and challenging game of intuition for those aged 10 and up, making it one of the most entertaining chemistry lessons anyone at the table has ever experienced. It's the perfect gift for family game night, for science teachers looking for a fun way to make learning exciting, or for science geeks hoping to introduce their friends to protons, neutrons, and electrons.

Outer Space 3D Planets Puzzle

The true fascination of many scientists lies not on Earth itself, but beyond it. With the Space Puzzle, science enthusiasts can put their creativity and logical reasoning to use as they piece together a map of the planets' orbits around the sun. In addition to its 146 pieces, this galactic puzzle is a great gift for young astronomers; of course, a love of science knows no boundaries, and even the most passionate adult can appreciate the stunning design of this puzzle. The stellar Space Puzzle is the perfect science gift!

Stress Relieving Physics Egg

Relax with ellipsoidal rotation instead of the complicated equations! The Physics Egg dances upon its mirrored base, rocking and tilting seemingly at random as it tilts and rocks. It is hard to look away from the unusual behavior it displays. Watch the laws of momentum and electrodynamics in action or sit back and enjoy the hypnotic spin as you meditate. The book makes a great science geek gift and an excellent introduction to ellipsoids and angular momentum.

Pi Pie Pan

Pi Day is no longer confined to March 14 - now, any day will do! Rather than relegated to the trigonometry classroom, pi can now be displayed proudly on your dining room table.
