In our opinion, Thames & Kosmos make the best science kits for children: they are the perfect way to encourage your children to develop a true love of learning. Stepping Into Science is a fantastic introduction to experiments and scientific principles in a thoroughly accessible, colourful, fun and hands-on way. There are 25 experiments to try in five key areas: nature, physics, chemistry, air, and water. The experiments include building a soap-driven boat, watching how seeds grow in different conditions, mixing colours, watching a balloon self-inflate and building a barometer. The brilliant 48-page accompanying booklet not only details the experiments step-by-step but also contains lots of interesting facts and thought-provoking questions. Highly recommended.
