ScienceWiz Inventions Experiment Kit and Book 13 Experiments, Inventions Review:

There were over ten customers who wrote reviews for this science kit, and they gave it an average rating of 3.7 stars. Many of them found it a great help for teaching lessons in science.

One buyer got this kit for a second-grader, and they had fun doing the projects as well as recording their observations. They felt it deserved a 5.0-star rating for fun factor, educational value, as well as durability. The users also appreciated the easily followed directions in the illustrated instruction manual that came with this kit. Many of them felt that this was a great starter kit for young children, as they all reportedly enjoyed putting the inventions together.

One reviewer commented that the kit came with many small parts, though, which required care so as not to lose any of them. Another buyer who was not too happy with the kit actually bought it for a kid younger than the recommended 8 years of age, as she thought his advanced mental skills would make it best for him. It turned out that the kit required advanced fine motor skills, which made the kit virtually unusable for the six-year-old. The mom also realized that she should’ve read the manual ahead of time, as it was not written in a step-by-step manner. Despite this limitation, she still loved the kit and asserted she would buy more from the company. Other users who were not as happy complained about the limited interest factor this kit could hold, which might not have been the fault of the kit anyway.

From these findings, we believe this kit will make for a great invention starter for kids whose parents are also scientifically inclined, as the kit will likely be more fascinating when done with adults. Overall, we believe you will find a great value for your money with this kit.
