DisappointingJanuary 19, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Got it for my 8 1/2 yr.old for Xmas. The cups and dishes weren't labeled and one was missing. Also not enough chemicals to do all the experiments listed. By the way the measuring cup is in ml not in cc as the directions explain. We learned that 1ml=1cc. Don't expect crystals to look like those on the cover of the box...maybe if they were magnified 15x+. I'm only on experiment 5 now, 7 more to go. The crystal tree didn't work (not enough monosodium phosphate for it). I even dunked it in the extra solution but it only reached the first limb. Keep in mind crystals take days, even a week or two to grow so don't expect overnight results.
