A good experience for 10 yr old interested in STEM
The kit provides the basics needed to perform a couple of interesting experiments in magnetism. The instructions are targeted a bit toward parents (who can scaffold knowledge for the kids). Everything in the kit can be found elsewhere if you are creative, but it's really very nice to have it all there to begin with. My 10 yr old son predicted what would happen before each experiment and then we would talk about why his hypothesis was true or false when it was over.
