I was enamored with "Things of Science" when I was a kid. So much so I began collecting them off eBay, scanning the little science booklet and sharing them for posterity.

As such I love DIY science like this.

Regarding crystals, I have scanned in and cleaned up two projects relating to crystals:

@JKCalhoun just got this account to say thank you for this - I am home schooling with my kids this year and this is a gem of a find.


You should be able to find many of the "things" in many of these kits. They were very well written, researched. Each "experiment" is a simple step along the way to understanding a concept (such as crystals).


Also from me thanks a lot for all your scans! They are wonderfully written and the experiments are a lot of fun!


Thank you for sharing Things of Science!


Wow, another thank you for scanning and uploading these, looking forward to trying some out with my kids!

I bet there would be a strong demand for a modern "Things of Science" - youtube is great and all but having a kit put together is a boon for parents
