As a matter of fact, the stuff of the universe is called matter! The air you breathe, the water you drink, the ground you walk on and the chair in which you sit are all made of something. And something is matter! Matter can be a solid, a liquid, or a gas! This science kit and book help explain these concepts to kids with a beautifully illustrated full color 40 page instruction book and a kit with all the materials for 35 activities. If you miss out on these experiments, you have missed your childhood! Make candles squirt with water pressure, squeeze an egg into a bottle, capture a CO2 explosion, grow crystals, sink and float an egg, dye a flower from the inside out, expand and contract with freezer fun, and much much more!
