Thames & Kosmos Spy Labs Inc: Forensic Investigation Kit Includes Large Lab Setup to Collect & Analyze Evidence & Clues | Explore The Science of Detective Work | for Young Investigators

Gave this as a gift for a crime solving loving kid! He loved it!!

We had fun playing with the set and learning about science and forensics. The only negative is there are not many experiments and eventually his interest waned.

This kit is complete with a bunch of experiments to complete, the kids loved the experiments and how easy they were to complete

I got this science set for my 9-year-old son, but I think I was the one who was more excited about it. If you love watching CSI shows like I do, you'll probably love this too. I like the way they included stories to tie in to the experiments, and the explanations of the science are pretty good too. Some additional materials are needed, but all are pretty common household items or easy to find if you don't already have them (see photo).My son has tried UV-activated ink before, but this was a fun twist to pretend to be a detective searching for clues. He was very interested in checking for counterfeit bills and finding fingerprints. We haven't done all the experiments yet, but we've both enjoyed this so far. Recommend.

He loved it.

This is such a fun kit (as I’ve come to expect from Thames & Kosmos)! My kits can’t wait to get their hands on this science kit. We home educate and I love the quality of educational science materials from this company. We haven’t used these laboratory tools just yet, but we have plans on the calendar to incorporate the chromatography experiment with our chemistry curriculum. (: *I’ll update following our results Also. This would make such a great gift for middle age kids!

Kind of cheap

This spy kit is great fun to do with the kids. My nephew and I had a great time trying out all the different activities.
