Electro Magnetix Kit

I think the only extra thing I needed was the D-Size Battery -- which I was already aware of. Better than the Kitchen Science kit we also got (see review for it - it was very disappointing.) Magnet experiments were basically same thing over and over - took roughly 1 hour, if that, to go through all of them. Only experiment we had problems with was the magnet didn't fit in the long dangling plastic sleeve for the example on the box -- forced it in and figuring she'll never play with it again. (Later I was able to place a long nail inside push it out with scissor blade.) Anyway, after it was setup -- wasn't that amazing (she said neat - but I think she was familiar with concepts from school - she's in 2nd grade) so she wasn't interested in it after we actually opened up.

Not kid or parent friendly. Had good intentions with many different things you can do with it, but the directions are tiny and complicated, the parts are tiny and complicated too. The kids lost interest and the adults didn't want to help. Was not appealing.
