Good product, sloppy instructions make it frustrating
My daughter and I started the experiments from #1 and had a good time with 1-3. It would've helped to have an illustrated list of equipment, though, as I wasn't sure what some items called for were at first. #4 stopped us, though, as the instructions aren't clear. It begins saying "After the Coloring Tablets quit fizzing" even though the list of items called for on this equipment do not include the Coloring Tablets, so I'm not sure how that plays in. Then it asks you to "...pull the bag of Superabsorbent Crystals out of your Baby Soda Bottle." Umm, what is this "Baby Soda Bottle"? I can find the bag of crystals, I just can't find anything labeled as a "Baby Soda Bottle, nor is it listed in the 'From the Kit' item list." Then it asks you to pour crystals into the 2oz plastic cups... okay, fine... but the next line says something about them soaking up the water. What water? How much? As a science experiment, I shouldn't be guessing on measurements, I should have clearer direction to ensure the intended results. If you want to teach kids how to do science correctly, the kit itself needs to do it correctly.
