I used this for homeschooling my youngest when it became difficult to get the Science in a Nutshell kits locally. We really enjoyed it. Almost all of the items needed for experiments are readily available in most homes; I don't think I had to make a special trip to the store for anything. Some of the experiments were routine, but a couple had a big "wow" which made them memorable. A wonderful hands-on approach for science. The only weakness is the worksheet pages which aren't all that challenging. I also recommend the Hands-On Physics Experiments book for the same age range.
