    5.0 out of 5 stars Good overall kit
    Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    The strengths of this kit are teaching basic science and scientific research principles. You can test different compounds for acid or base properties, and there are test tubes, labels and charts to fill out with hypotheses and results.

    Weaknesses of this kit are the lack of explanation as to what the experiments mean. However, with an adult participant who's familiar enough with things like acids and bases, this is not really an issue. I also did not find the test tubes to be inadequate as some other reviewers did- I thought they were adequate for the levels of the experiments performed and the price of the kits. There was even a holder for the test tubes in a cool wavy shape, which was rather stylish for a science kit. Other reviewers were quite correct that the fizzy pop was "icky"- as you would expect the result of neutralizing an acid with a base to be! The purpose of that particular recipe was to see a chemical reaction rather than to have a yummy drink, and I think that was accomplished.

    I purchased this kit for my eight year old cousin, who has an interest in cooking. I also found this product "girl friendly"- as a female engineer, piquing my younger cousin's interest in science was a goal for this year's Christmas presents. I was quite happy with it overall- it was fun and the experiments were easy to do.

    I bought this (and about 60 other "like" items) to hand out to kids at a company Christmas party. You should have seen the excitement when they picked these out. I don't know whether or not they worked, easy or hard, messy or not... but I can tell you it got children excited in a project. I intentionally purchased items that would be fun to do as a family. I would definitely recommend again.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Fun and tasty. Good mix of ingredients for all kinds of customized fun.
    Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2014

    Pretty cool. Getting a packet of isolated citric acid is nearly worth the price.

    Ph strips didn't work though. Didn't change color in the presence of strong acid, or base.

    We did experiments that weren't in the directions. For example: I mixed dry citric acid, baking soda, grape flavor, and sugar - all dry, and mixed it all together. When I place a teaspoon of it in my kids' mouths, the water allows the base (baking soda) and acid to react, resulting in foaming at the mouth. But since it winds up Ph-neutral, it is harmless (and neither are that strong alone anyway). And it tastes yummy!

    Kind of like Alka-Selzer (which I'm sure uses the same method - notice they are in tightly sealed aluminum+plastic pouches), but with yummy flavor. Or, like powdered Pop-Rocks.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Tasty Science, Not so tasty
    Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    Scientific Explore has great kits and usually if you follow the direction you would come away with great results, however this one did not turn out so great. The cookie dough was not consistant. We had a long time getting it to stick together and the dough just kept coming apart we had to improvise a little. The finished product tasted ok. The cupcakes work out well. They don't keep very long. You have to eat them right away otherwise,they'll spoil. The rock crystal candy never harden. I don't like to give such a bad review, because I like all Scientific Explore's products. Maybe someone else will have better success with this product.

    I really love these kits. I like providing my son with activities that are not only fun, but educational. My son loves learning about science and these kits do not disappoint. You do need to provide some basic ingredients, not included, but most well stocked kitchens will have what is needed. I want to show my child that science is fun and experimenting with these kits helps with that goal. I highly recommend these, they are great for cold or rainy day activities.

    We bought this for our 5 and 3 year old (yes, they definitely need a lot of help doing the experiments) but it is super fun. I mostly just have to do it all and then they just eat what I make, but that’s beside the point. They love watching and helping with it, plus now they have experience with it when they are old enough to do it alone!

    Bought this for a christmas gift for my niece who is almost 6. She absolutely loved it. Not only is it tasty but it actually teaches you about science while making some tasty treats. Acids and Bases and the reactions that can be made. So much more to this gift than I thought it was going to be. Lets just say it survived the 6 year old test and was Mom and Dad approved!
