I purchased this kit for my 11 year old son. He liked it a lot a first, but the lack of detailed instructions left him really frustrated. Good idea, but this kit needs more detailed instructions. - Saturday, January 02, 2010 Good pastimeReviewed By: Beverley We bought this for our daughter and she loves just working through the items and trying things on her own. - Wednesday, February 11, 2009 Physics Workshop KitReviewed By: Sibylle Raymond I was very impressed with this kit. I don't think it is for children younger than 12 years old, however. I think the value of this kit is greatly enhanced if the child does it by themselves. My 14 year old daughter loves it and is enjoying doing the experiments by herself. The guide is excellent and very user friendly. - Monday, January 05, 2009 Physics challenging Dad had fun with the kit. 8 year old son loves to build but had some trouble getting windmill assembled. Some of the experiments are above an 8 year old level and those were the first ones he tried. Son lost interest and went back to legos but he keeps looking at the gears and puts a few pieces together each day. I think he will grow into the kit if we can keep from loosing the pieces before then. Kit does offer a lot of experiments providing learning oportunities for how things work. - Monday, January 05, 2009 Challenging but worth itReviewed By: Emily Bell The lab manual is very good at explaining the science behind the models, something frequently missing from science kits. My only major complaint is that it lacks step-by-step building instructions for the models.
My ten year old daughter has enjoyed and learned a fair amount from it. Read More Reviews - Friday, January 02, 2009
if he/she is inclined
Reviewed By: Bright Angel
I bought this for my eldest son and he was not impressed. He loves to sit and read fantasy novels, but to build something practical was beyond his interest and capabilities. Although he is 14, he has yet to be able to make any of the experiments work. However, my 11 yo who loves LEGO is dying to have a turn at this kit! If your child likes to build...then this kit rocks. If he doesn't, this kit won't entice him but instead frustrate him.

Physics Workshop
Reviewed By: Jeannine
We bought this for our daughter for her birthday earlier this year. She loves it. She would rather play with this than watch TV. She has made several of the models and learned how each works. A great addition to a classroom - homeschool or otherwise!
