STEM 101 | 00659 | Smart Lab

Create fun machines and conduct super science experiments while exploring physics, chemistry, optics, biology, and more!

Astound your friends with your knowledge of osmosis, gear ratios, and fractals! Build moving vehicles and catapults! Perform experiments that demonstrate capillary action, optical illusions, and Newtons Laws of Motion!Thisintroduction to STEM learning includes an amazing array of real science equipmentmini graduated cylinders, an Erlenmeyer flask, a graduated beaker, a magnifying lens, and building materials such as boards, axles, posts, wheels, gears, and morealong with 30 activity cards to guide kids through an exciting, hands-on exploration of science, technology, engineering, and math.

The activity cards lead you through 35 projects that demonstrate real STEM challenges and explainhow they translate to the real world. Experiments strengthen essential engineering skills with open-ended challenges that involve building vehicles and structures with different kinds of gears, axles, and wheels. Young physicists can test optical illusions involving mirrors, magnifying glasses, and printed paper components. Fun chemistry experiments allow young scientists to use real lab equipment to measure, analyze, and make predictions.

A good STEM toy relates to the real world, is hands-on, allows for problem-solving, is gender inclusive, builds confidence, and encourages creativity.STEM 101checks all the boxes!
