Are the experiments safe?

The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) has compiled a special list of substances that are allowed in children’s chemistry sets (EN 71-4). We only use substances from this list.

Can I order additional reagents to repeat the experiment?

Each experiment set includes enough reagents to conduct each experiment at least twice. Since our sets are often shipped internationally, we cannot offer replacements for individual reagents. We can, however, provide replacements for whole sets.

Does each set contain enough reagents to repeat an experiment several times?

The vast majority of the experiment sets include enough reagents to conduct each experiment at least twice.

Can I cancel or pause my subscription?

You can cancel your subscription at any time with one click from your profile. You can also reactivate your subscription at any time; we keep track of your order history, so you don’t need to worry about receiving the same sets more than once.

This box came late, I can give you a pass on that, that the post office after all. However those free VR-glasses are in no way VR. It is a cardboard box, with magnification glasses set it them, which your suppose to put your phone in. You know to magnificence the imagine....On your phone that you can ZOOM into. A total pointless add on to this box. That was annoying but not worth a one star. No my big issue with this, the cards where sure basic info, very unclear instructions and worst of all missing idioms to do the experiment that the box even says would be in it. LIKE GLOVES or some of the elements to pour into each other. My kid was super disappointed in the box and told me not to even get her another it was just not worth the money and I would have to agree. Save your money, by a Stem box this was trash. The only nice thing I could say was they sent one very nice glass Becker. everything else was cheap plastic that looked like it'd snap in a second if you where not careful.

Fraud/Scam

I signed up for the physics subscription. I was charged $37.50 for Oct., Nov., Dec., and Jan. and only received one hydrophobicity kit. That is roughy $160 for some sand, plastic cups, felt squares and a tiny amount of graphite powder. Nothing like the kits described in pictures. Read the reviews on facebook. This is basically how they run their company.

Although we've got an 8+ kit, my 5 years old niece has really enjoyed it! =) The box had 3 experiments, with an extra experiment accessible via a QR code). The experiments don't take long and the instructions are easy to follow, so we've had no issues with keeping the kid preoccupied.

I bought a "Reflections" kit for my son and it was quite exciting to assemble the "infinity tunnel". We enjoyed thorough explanations of what actually happens with regards to the physical process and I think this was a great learning opportunity not only for my son but also for myself as well =)

for $40 a month you get ... a basic science lesson and 2ish experiments that can be done in ... maybe 15 minutes or so by children over the age of 10 mostly on their own ... My kids have an interest in science and we have done most of the " kitchen science" in the past .... we have grown crystals and made Mentos soda explosions, we have oxidized nails and build volcanos ... compared to that ... these Mel -sets are ... not all that exiting... While the experiments certainly teach about chemistry I feel that 2 experiments that I cannot choose or ... even incorporate in my curriculum ( as there is no way to find out which set we will get ) are not worth $40! If these sets included enough experiments for a month of homeschooling ( one per week) - I would gladly renew my subscription but this box is barely enough to cover one week of experiments and one single lesson and keep the kids busy for 30 minutes tops. The other huge negative is ... that these sets don't arrive at the same time every month ... the first set took forever to get to us , the second came 5 weeks later , then another 3 weeks after that... For middle schoolers these experiments are nice but not " enough" for serious young scientists ... There is only so much excitement you can get out of a tin hedgehog the size of a pin head and then having to wait another month for another experiment .

My kids and I really enjoyed our first kit (reflections). It was interesting, engaging, and very hands-on. I myself, at the age of 42, found it to be pretty exciting. We loved getting to play with everything and see how and why different laws of physics work. We can't wait for the next kit!

I was honestly prepared for the kit to be some cheap hunk of junk. To my surprise not only is it a quality kit, but my 7yo had no problem putting it together without my help. The information about the subject in the booklet is not overly detailed, but you can learn more if you desire using the app. My kiddo cannot wait for the next one to arrive so they can continue their journey.
