Kaboom Kit with downloadable instructions and worksheets
Are your kids always pestering you to do an explosion?
The Kaboom Kit is a fun little set created by Jacob.
It's perfect as a gift, reward or to get your child excited about Science.
It allows kids to make small explosions by reacting citric acid and magnesium in a conical flask and then igniting the hydrogen gas produced with the piezo-electric clicker.
The kit is accompanied with downloadable instructions and some worksheets to explore the Science involved. The lessons are supported by a video lesson on YouTube

The instructions are:
1. Put on safety glasses for this activity
2. Squirt 2ml of water into the conical flask using the syringe
3. Dissolve two tiny spoons of citric acid in the water
