This fabulous interactive augmented reality science lab takes children through 10 deeply engaging and entertaining science projects rooted in a STEM based curriculum. Parents love that the experiments are hands-on explorations involving activities like pouring, stirring, shaking, measuring, marking and observing. Young scientists get through-the-roof excited by the immersive augmented reality feature that turns each project into a magically animated experience. Downloading and launching the free 4D Lab app (available for Android or iOS) allows kids to see Professor Maxwell come to life on top of the 30 page, full-color book of experiments and give them step-by-step instructions. The interactive lesson plans teach scientific principles that include Chromatography, Cohesion, Static Electricity, and much more, amidst playfully themed experiments like Sticky Slime, Volcanic Eruption, Lava Lamp, and Dancing Paper. All this fun and learning is achieved using the lab's abundance of included materials (notably the set's super cool, hands-free AR goggles) plus a handful of items easily found around the house.
