Kaboom Kit with downloadable instructions and worksheets

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 a small explosion by reacting citric acid and magnesium in a conical flask and then exploding 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
