Science can be pretty magical, amiright? (That’s what your kid will say at least, once they’ve done some of the awesome experiments from the National Geographic Science Magic Activity Kit.) This unique science kit comes with everything kids need to perform 15 science experiments that also double as magic tricks—so get ready for quite a show! It’s chemistry, it’s physics, and it’s magic.
