User questions & answers

Question:	I am a teacher. Will I be able to reuse this product by disassembling it or is it a one time use
Answer:	You can disassemble it, though you will need to be careful. The pieces are plastic and for the most part, snap into place.
Question:	Is it possible to program/code the robot to do more things? Is it controlled by a microcontroller
Answer:	No you can't program it to do more things
Question:	Is this too young for an 8 year old
Answer:	I think that an 8-year old could put this together with some assistance. My son and I put it together. He is 8 years old, but cognitively around 6 years old due to handicap. He was able to do a lot of the work, but needed help and supervision along the way. He enjoyed the putting it together with me more than playing with the robot. 
Question:	Can it pass butter
Answer:	It can, but if it does it has an existential crisis and stops working.

User questions & answers

Question:	Where are these made
Answer:	This product is made by 4M Educational Toys, but I have not been able to locate where exactly it is made. They do ship around the world but that doesn't make it made in the USA. Sorry I can't answer this question.
Question:	How many wind chimes does this make
Answer:	One kit makes one chime.
Question:	Are the paints washable
Answer:	I honestly don't know. It was a birthday gift for my grand daughters birthday.
Question:	How are the chimes attached to the terra cotta pot? Are their pre drilled holes
Answer:	Hello. I did not give these away, so I can answer with ease. There are pre-drilled holes. Everything comes separate. After you paint the pots, you attach the chimes to the pots with included strings. Our pots were already painted with a base-white. I hope this helps.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this too difficult for a 5 year old
Answer:	According to the packaging warnings, yes, it is. However, the most basic care and attention can avoid any issues. Example, do not consume the chemicals with clear labels of their toxicity. You basically grow the crystal then put it in a display case. It is not for handling. I am not the most careful individual in the world and I did not perish using the product. My cat was smart enough not to consume the product as well. However, if someone were to get ill from the product, I think that would be considered natural selection more than anything.
Question:	Is it toxic
Answer:	Crystals start growing immediately and are full size in 7-10 days, as long as the directions are followed carefully.
Question:	About how long does a experiment take
Answer:	For years. YEARS. It's been at least five years since I've last made these and their all missing their broken display cases but they just sit on my shelf. They are all perfectly fine, aside from maybe being pretty dusty.
Question:	Can these be displayed for years or are they disposable in a few days
Answer:	There are no googles supplied with this science kit

User questions & answers

Question:	how many tiles are included
Answer:	10, if I remember. Just as an FYI, I purchased this for my 6 year old granddaughter who had great fun decorating the tiles. Well worth the money.
Question:	is there a sealant included? What finishes the magnets
Answer:	it is paint on a tile, magnate sticks on back,,,pretty basic kiddo fun
Question:	What age group would you recommend this for
Answer:	I would say 5 and up. Anyone you would let use markers or paint. On some of the tiles we used that colored foil and it's "glue" for shiny designs. On some I gave my grandaughter all different sizes/colors of gems and she glued them on in her own creative way. You can also let them color the background with marker/paint and let them stamp on a shape cut from a sponge/foam dipped in their favorite color. Lots of ideas for all different ages.Hope this helps you out.
Question:	Are these magnets strong, or do the tiles fall off the fridge easily
Answer:	This is great product. My daughter made holiday magnets last year. Color stayed and it is still on fridge which never fell yet. Good art piece !!!!

User questions & answers

Question:	Do the flowers get brown after a while
Answer:	It appears to be real wool, but as it's not labeled it's impossible to know for sure. It's quite dense, very moisture wicking, fast drying and has the sane feel as a wool jacket or scarf.
Question:	Are the screws and wing nuts metal or plastic
Answer:	You take it out of the microwave between intervals and open it up to check on the flowers. Each flower will press differently, depending on their thickness and water content. Touch each one. If it feels tacky, then it is not ready yet and should go in for another, shorter interval. The flowers should feel more like tissue paper when they are ready.
Question:	does the kit include paper and envelopes
Answer:	With normal pressing their may be a very slight hurbal odor, depending on what you are pressing. However, the felt is made from wool and should you not follow directions and put the press in the microwave for much too long, you could burn the felt pads after which you will certainly need to air out your house. If you follow directions, under normal usage, there will not be a problem with smell.
Question:	does this kit include the paper, it doesn't say thanks for reply
Answer:	You could, but it would increase the processing time so there would not be a great advantage. Two 5" presses can be clipped together for pressing long leaves and stems, or ferns. Just put the presses side by side. Use 2 clips on the ends and two clips at the sides, over the ends of the seam between the presses.

Question:	My nephew just covered himself in the paint from this kit. does anyone have an msds sheet about these paints
Answer:	No but it did wash off fairly easy with Dawn dish detergent.

Answer:	The description says "8 Planets - Pluto not included"

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it just project a full moon or all the phases of the moon
Answer:	I'm assuming the question is "Do you need an outlet?". To which the answer is no.
Question:	can you use this for reading
Answer:	You would have to modify it a little. The wheels that launch the paper plane have a gap no greater that about 6 sheets of paper in thickness. If you sanded the wheels to allow a larger object through then you could us it.

Answer:	Hello this i Rijul from India i ordered it from .com and not from .in so there is some connector which takes in two wires from batteries and four wires from the motors so try fixing that or see the wires connecting motor they may be loose please try and if it works tell me pleaseThank you Rijul

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this science kit reusable
Answer:	The weather kit makes a REAL WORKING WEATHER STATION,hence "reusable" We have used it at the Da Vinci Science Center for 22 kids- and plan to use it again in Dec 2014 (25 kids). It is to track weather changes, allows the data to be plotted, and lets the kids share their data to learn the temperatures in one town vary a great deal-and are not always the same as at the AIRPORT!
Question:	Is it metal
Answer:	Bill, It is not metal. It is plastic. I wish it was metal.
Question:	Exactly what items need to be supplied by the user
Answer:	Required but NOT included: A GLASS, SOME POTTING SOIL, SOME BEANS, A PENCIL, A PLASTIC BOTTLE, A DESK LAMP, Adult Supervision required when getting materials from home.
Question:	Is it better with both kits
Answer:	Each weather kit allows the parent and child to explore different aspects of the weather. They can either be purchased separately and enjoyed, or purchase one to see if your child is engaged by it and then purchase the 2nd set to round out the experience but either kit by itself would be educational and interactive. The answer truly depends on the child so if you are unsure of weather (haha get it?) Or not your child is going to be engaged by weather "experiments" you would be better off only purchasing 1 or the other and purchase the 2nd set if they get excited or engaged by it. Hope this helps despite being 6+ months since you asked.....
