Earth Science STEAM Deluxe 4M

STEAM Deluxe Earth Science 4M

Explore the planet's amazing geology with the STEAM Earth Science Deluxe SET (4M, part number Y305538). This science kit is designed to spark curiosity about the Earth and demonstrate how natural processes create rocks, crystals and volcanoes, all while kids play, experiment and learn.

what's included?

• One mold to build a volcano (assembly required).

• Two high quality plaster mixtures to make solid structures.

• Six colors of paint and brushes to decorate the volcano.

• A digging tool, a magnifying glass and a block of plaster with hidden crystals for digging.

• Material for growing three different types of crystals: from monoammonium phosphate powder to special compounds for creating tree crystals, ruby and a glow-in-the-dark moon crystal.

• Several containers for mixing and transforming the materials during the experiments.

what will children learn?

• Practical geology: they will be able to recreate a volcanic eruption, understanding how it works and experimenting with its visual aspect.

• Mineralogy: thanks to rock excavation they can study crystal formation and internal structure.

• Crystallogenesis: they will grow real crystals, observing how they grow and change over time.

• Scientific method: children hypothesize, mix materials, observe results and document their findings.

Skills developed

This set is very powerful from a STEAM point of view: it fosters logical reasoning, manual dexterity, critical thinking, patience and scientific curiosity. It also develops aesthetic sense (by painting the volcano) and perseverance (by growing crystals over several days).

Safety and recommendations

• Recommended age: from 10 years old according to some distributors.

• Ingredients such as vinegar, baking soda or hot water (to activate some reactions) are not included, so they must be provided by the adult.

• It is advisable to use protective goggles and gloves for some manipulations.

• The set encourages autonomy, but the assembly of the volcano and the manipulation of the materials must be supervised by an adult to ensure safety and correct use.
