User questions & answers

Question:	Can use a sharp,big knife or if not, what do you use
Answer:	No hammer, it comes with goggles and a magnifying glass
Question:	Does the item include a hammer
Answer:	The best way to open them is to take a large file & carefully cut a groove around the Geode along any depressions in the shape. Place in on a towel on a concrete floor. Be sure to put on safety glasses! Take a large chisel and place it in the groove. Strike the end of the chisel with a hammer to break the Geode open. Be careful everyone standing near has their safety gasses on as well!
Question:	What is the method of how to open them? Do you need to have a separate tool for that
Answer:	These are absolutely real geodes, as you would soon discover when you try to break them open. However, as I have recently discovered, they are not all geodes. Of the five I've opened so far, one is a very dull nodule, not a geode, and another is nothing more than a roundish rock. So, two duds out of five so far and, based on the feel of the weight, I suspect another of the remaining five may be either just a rock or a nodule.
Question:	Are these real geodes or man - made
Answer:	Dear Customer, Thank you for your support. This adventurous socks fits US SIZES 6 to 12. Size "Long": 5.51 inch from heel to the top of socks, Size "Medium": 3.15 inch from heel to the top of socks, Size "Short": 1.97 inch from heel to the top of socks. If there's anything else I can do for you on/regarding this matter, please feel free to contact me at any time. Your any reply would be highly appreciated! Have a nice day! Yours sincerely, Ienjoy Customer Service Team

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the microscope made of? Hard plastic or metal
Answer:	Hello Leonard,This microscope is not meant for seeing cells. It's magnifications goes up to 50X. To see cells well you would need approximately 400X. This microscope comes with sea monkeys (also known for brine shrimp), and is great for watching them swim around! It is also good to explore and see pixilation in magazines or other pictures, exploring bugs, and the many slides that come with the product!Thank you for your inquiry.
Question:	Is this microscope able to observe cells
Answer:	The objective lens on this microscope is 2x and the ocular lenses are 10x and 25x. This combination will magnify your specimen either 20x or 50x.
Question:	If it has a 20x objective and a 50x objective wouldn't that give you 200x and 500x magnification? Or is the microscope lens itself just a 2x & not 10x
Answer:	Hello,The eye pieces are adjustable and should adjust to fit children or adults.Thank you for your inquiry,National Geographic Toys Customer Support
Question:	Are the eye pieces adjustable to adapt to different widths of eyes between, e.g., children and adults
Answer:	The end that fits into the holes of the hedgehog are 1/2 inch while the other end is between 3/4" and 1". I would say they are similar to the size of a man's fingers since I have an average woman's hand and the thickness of the quills is bigger than my fingers.

User questions & answers

Question:	Were i to use this in a middle school class. how many students could work in a small group and still function efficiently with this kit

From the Manufacturer

Fascinate your friends by completing an ordinary task in an extraordinary way. Learn to build 10 LEGO machines that can swing, pivot, roll, lift, and drop.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this compatible with regular Lego brand legos
Answer:	Yes! But don't buy the book! It is a total waste! You need 350 of your own Legos in order to build the things that are in the book! My son was so disappointed with it!
Question:	Is this set too difficult for a soon to be eight year old? He has lots of legos, and loves building with them
Answer:	I think it's suitable for 8 years. There are instructions to read to help build the different devices, but there are pictures as well to help with the parts needed for building. I think it would effect for this age. I use it with second and third graders and they do well with all parts of the kit. I'd recommend it!
Question:	Does the lego classic medium creative brick box 10696 have everything i need to make all the machines
Answer:	I think you will need more. For example, the pop-up flag & falling hammer project uses 11 (2 of those included) 8x2's. One project also includes a 4 peg slope brick that I can't see in the picture of the brick box. For the pulley and bucket project, you'll need what looks like 28 4x2's (or pieces that add up to those).
Question:	What is the main age group this book is written for
Answer:	There is no way to attach a number to who could benefit from this book. I purchased it for my then 7 year old grandson. However, his Dad and I have been very active with him with other hands on building projects since he could walk. That being said, at seven he still struggled to figure out some of the possibilities presented in this book. Some even put my 68 year old brain to the test. Whatever the age, be prepared to work with the person and enjoy doing it.

Question:	what items are in the kit

Answer:	Unfortunately this is currently only available in English but there are plans in the future to translate the manual into other languages.
Question:	Does the manual come in other languagues? does it have spanish instructions

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
