30 Experiments. One Universe to Explore.The Discovery Stellar Space Science Kit gives kids ages 8 and up 30 space-themed experiments built around real concepts in astronomy, chemistry, and geology. Not videos about space. Not worksheets. Hands-on activities that produce results kids can touch, launch, grow, and keep, with science explanations woven into every single one.What Kids Actually MakeAcross 15 guided kit experiments, kids mix two varieties of galaxy slime loaded with glitter, mold a jelly rocketship from gel powder, sculpt their own moonrocks, make tactile moon sand and simulate crater impacts, explore all eight moon phases with the included spinning dial, discover hidden planets through a water-filled dish, build a real two-lens telescope, grow a glacier crystal over several days from a supersaturated solution, inflate a balloon using a real gas-producing chemical reaction, and create a glow-in-the-dark window decoration using glow paint and wax paper. The included manual pairs every activity with space facts on Mars, asteroids, gas giants, and space junk so kids always know what real-world science they are connecting to.The Science Behind the FunEvery experiment comes with a "The Science Behind This" explanation and a "Did You Notice?" observation prompt. Kids find out that bouncy ball powder is a homopolymer whose chains cross-link in water to form a solid elastic sphere, that baking soda and vinegar neutralize each other releasing oxygen gas to inflate the balloon, and that moon phases happen because sunlight reflects off the moon differently as it orbits Earth. The science is real and written at a level that makes sense to a curious 8-year-old without talking down to them.15 Bonus DIY Experiments Keep the Learning GoingA bonus booklet adds 15 more space-themed activities using household materials. Kids model planetary gravity with a bowl and marbles, build a DIY satellite from a plastic bottle, project constellations onto a bedroom wall using a flashlight and toilet paper roll, construct a solar oven from a cardboard box, build and launch a stomp rocket, and more. Same illustrated step-by-step format as the main kit so kids can jump right in.Product Features 30 total experiments: 15 guided kit activities plus 15 bonus DIY home experiments Covers astronomy, chemistry, and geology Experiments include galaxy slime, moon sand, moonrock sculpting, bouncy ball, glacier crystal growing, jelly rocketship, moon phases, planet discovery, gas explosion, fizzy sun reactor, glow window decoration, working telescope build, and more Illustrated instructions with science explainers and observation prompts throughout Spinning moon phase dial and planet discovery paper included STEM Seal of Authenticity Ages 8 and up Great birthday or holiday science gift for kids ages 8 to 12 Adult supervision required for select activitiesWhat's in the Box Powders and compounds: dark purple slime powder, black slime powder, gel powder, bouncy ball powder, crystal growing powder, cornstarch, baking soda, citric acid Glitter: blue/purple glitter, chunky glitter, gold glitter, silver glitter Tools and molds: rocketship mold, bouncy ball mold, 2 mixing bowls, measuring cup, scoop, 3 mixing sticks, 2 slime containers with lids Optics and builds: 2 convex lenses, 2 telescope boxes, straw Growing supplies: crystal seed rock, crystal growing container Extras: glow paint, balloon, 2 food coloring bottles, 3 sheets of paper, moon phase dial, paper with planets Instruction manual with space facts, safety warnings, and illustrated experiment guides Bonus DIY home experiment booklet (15 additional experiments)

Features:

• REAL SPACE SCIENCE KIDS CAN HOLD, BUILD AND LAUNCH: Mix stretchy galaxy slime packed with chunky glitter, mold a jelly rocketship from gel powder, sculpt moonrocks, and ignite a fizzing sun reactor with a real acid-base chemical reaction. Every experiment ends with something kids made themselves.
• BUILD A WORKING TELESCOPE AND PAPER ROCKET: Kids assemble a real two-lens telescope from the included components, then build and launch a paper rocketship using a straw.
• 30 EXPERIMENTS SPANNING ASTRONOMY, CHEMISTRY AND GEOLOGY: 15 guided kit activities cover deep space slime, glowing galaxy slime, moon sand, moon phases, crater formation, bouncy ball chemistry, glacier crystal growing, glow window decorations, planet discovery, and more, with a 15-experiment bonus booklet that keeps things going using household materials.
• THE SCIENCE ACTUALLY GETS EXPLAINED: Every activity includes a plain-language explainer and an observation prompt so kids understand what they just did and why it worked, from polymer cross-linking in the bouncy ball to how Earth's atmosphere burns up meteors before they hit the ground.
• COMPLETE KIT WITH ALL SUPPLIES INCLUDED: Comes with slime powders, crystal growing powder, bouncy ball powder, gel powder, glow paint, glitter, food coloring, balloon, moon phase dial, rocketship and bouncy ball molds, mixing bowls, measuring cup, convex lenses, telescope boxes, and more. Everything for all 15 guided experiments is in the box.
• A STEM SCIENCE GIFT KIDS AGES 8 TO 12 WILL ACTUALLY USE: Carries the STEM Seal of Authenticity with illustrated step-by-step instructions and science explainers built into every activity. A strong birthday or holiday science gift for kids who like building, mixing, and figuring out how things work.
