This STEM experiment kit gives your child a fun
way to discover the basic principles of physics.
The kit includes everything needed for the
experiments, except batteries and a few other
common household items.
The step-by-step instructions feature a story that
unfolds throughout each chapter. The heroine of
the story is Pepper Mint — an eleven-year-old
girl whose creativity and cleverness help her
find her way through a series of adventures and
overcome various challenges. The kit includes a
figurine of Pepper Mint herself as well as the
research vessel, so that your child can play
along with the story. This kit offers a total of
nine exciting experiments. Each experiment adds
another element to the research vessel and the
underwater station: a hydraulic crane, a
snapping mechanism, a ship’s propeller, and
much more. When your child reaches the end of
the instructions, he or she will find out how to
use all of the projects together.
Every construction project
provides a fun introduction to
the physics behind it. Along the
way, your child learns why
water can be used to transmit
force, what water is actually
made of, and how to safely
build an electric circuit.
I’m Pepper Mint.
I’ve got lots of good ideas — and I
love building things and taking
things apart to figure out how they
work. I’m about to set sail on an
expedition to the Bermuda Triangle.
Come along with me!
Here’s what to do:
1
Read the story or get someone to read it aloud
2
Carry out the experiment
3
Learn through playing
Children in this age group are at different stages
of development, so you can decide in advance
which experiments your child can do alone, and
where your help will be needed. Please make
sure you’re on hand to provide advice and
practical help, and to check the finished product
after each experiment.
Together with your child, decide on a suitable
place for conducting the experiments. Small
amounts of water (15 ml) may spill from time to
time, so it’s best to find a surface that won’t be
damaged by water.
As it contains electronics experiments, this
experiment kit is not suitable for children under
the age of eight. Please keep small children and
pets away from the experiment equipment, and
take time to read through the safety information
with your child. Keep the instructions handy for
reference at all times.
Have fun experimenting
and playing!
