    Needs additional supplies
    We got this for our almost 11 year old granddaughter who is interested in forensics for Christmas.I opened the box, took out all the contents and read through the entire book. I wanted to make sure it was age-appropriate and to see what supplies were not included (as indicated in the reviews). I also highlighted some important steps so she wouldn't miss them.My first picture shows what came in the kit and the second shows the items I added to the kit. I didn't want her to have to stop and go hunt for stuff. A trip to the Dollar Store took care of most of it. The citric acid can be picked up at Walmart, Amazon or possibly Michael's. I also labeled all the items for her.She hasn't worked through the "cases" yet, so I'll try to update once I hear from her about her experience.I gave this three stars for "giftable" and "value" because of it lacking so many items. I gave it four stars because, after reading through the entire manual, it appears to be age appropriate.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fun kit! Great jump-start with science experiments!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2019
    Fun kit!! I gave it as a gift to a 9-year old, who is being homeschooled. She loves it! The included directions are pretty good, and most of the items needed are included (you will need some additional things - see picture of list). There isn't much info on the science "behind the concepts", but as long as you realize what this kit can be used for, it is great. I highly recommend this product. Please mark if you find my review helpful. Thank you so much!
