Toys and Games Reviews of Scientific Explorer's Fun With Your Dog Science Kit
Customer Review: Fell short of expectation
Summary: 1 Stars
I want to encourage my two 7 year old nieces and their 4 year old brother to be interested in science. Since they love my dog, I bought this kit to do together, but was sorely disappointed.
The part I thought would be the most interesting for the kids was the super-sonic whistle, but it was far from super-sonic. While it was very high pitched, it was not high enough to keep humans from hearing. It was suppose to be a variable length, but was fixed so you couldn't do anything to make the pitch too high to hear. Having the whistle within human hearing totally undid the purpose of that project. I went out and bought a two dollar one from a pet store so that we could explore the fact that Sadie's hearing is a different range than ours.
The biscuit mix was fairly decent, but not worth much. It didn't teach them anything about the dog. The glasses were very sub-par as well. The color blockers were just cheap 3-d glasses that they could color on and there was only one pair.
The big plus I have to say was the little workbook for things for the adult to say while instructing their "students". If the products that came with this had been to the same level, this would have been a great product, however since the products were so lousy, the kids weren't terribly interested in learning more about them.
In retrospect I would have just gathered all the materials myself and did it that way.
