This exciting and educational Christmas countdown calendar features 13 awesome science experiments and a collection of 11 fossil and gemstone specimens kids can add to their collection!
Each day of December as the holiday approaches, kids will open a fun experiment to conduct or a fossil or gemstone specimen from our world-class science kits. The fun and excitement culminate on the final day, as kids unearth a shimmering pyrite (fools gold) specimen from the included mini dig brick.
This educational take on a classic holiday tradition includes the following science experiments: Magic Beaker, Glowing Test Tube, Beaker Surge, Disappearing Water Trick, Hide/Reveal a Secret Message, Dissect a Brain, Critter Molding Lab, Rainbow in a Test Tube, The Incredible Water Ball/The Magic Spoon (hydrophobic sand), Atomic Fizz, Pop Crystal "Fireworks", Floating Coins, and Grow a Colorful Crystal Tree.
Kids love hands-on science, and these experiments are no exception! Everything is included for each experiment, making it easy to dive right in each time they open a new one as Christmas approaches.
This advent calendar also includes these fossils and gemstones: Rose Quartz, Tigers Eye, Carnelian, Clam, Chevron Amethyst, Snowflake Obsidian, Gastropod, Dalmatian Jasper, Hematite, Geode, and Pyrite (Fools Gold) in a Mini Dig Brick.
Rock and fossil collecting is a fascinating and popular hobby kids love, and the 2022 National Geographic Science Advent Calendar is a great introduction for boys and girls with an interest in geology. Theyll love collecting and learning about these premium specimens from around the world, and can keep them safe in the included storage pouch.
