Science Detective

Help! The brilliant young Professor Marvel has been kidnapped along with his incredible scientific discoveries, and only you can interpret the science clues he left behind. Find the culprit and save the day! As you work your way through the kit, you’ll review the cast of suspect cards, and walk step by step through the story, testing the gadgets yourself, and deciding “whodunit” and how. You’ll become a super science sleuth as you unravel the mystery of the disappearance of the Science Professor and return his top secret scorpion project to him. Experiment with special memory wire, decipher hidden messages, analyze fibers, learn about fluorescence, and much, much more. Once you are done solving the mystery, you can read the rest of the story and see if you were right. The kit includes information about real life applications for the science you’ll be learning and using, and even suggests bonus activities for after you are done. Great for parties!

Science Principles explored in this kit: chemistry, physics, applied science, biology

NOTE TO PARENTS:
If your young genius is both an aspiring Einstein and a young Sherlock Holmes, then this is the kit for you. This is a unique and truly amazing kit, and allows your scientist to develop problem solving and critical thinking skills while learning fun science skills and facts. The components of the kit are safe and non-toxic, but be sure to remind your super sleuth that good scientists always keep their experiments away from their eyes, nose, mouth, pets, and babies. Be sure to act as a facilitator while allowing your scientist to “own” the discoveries. Have fun exploring!
