In addition to loads of fascinating facts, fun-filled activities, and hands-on experiments in which kids make a variety of colored lipsticks and lip glosses, Lipstick and Lip Gloss Factory conveys a remarkable depth and breadth of scientific knowledge. Children learn the purpose and function of the body's 5 senses, develop an understanding of what constitutes primary, secondary and tertiary colors and why different colors produce cool, warm or neutral effects, and gain understanding of why substances change between solid, liquid and gas states. Not surprisingly, lipstick and lip gloss are given ample emphasis, both in the set's 7 experiments and in the abundance of colorfully illustrated pages filled with intriguing information about lipstick and its origins. Young scientists learn about lipstick's history dating back to ancient times, the evolution of its uses and methods of production, and well-known historical figures' popularization (and, in some cases, prohibition) of these cosmetics whose usage remains very much in vogue today!
