Lab Kit for Exploring Creation with Astronomy
Exploring the universe is exciting. Gathering all the specialty supplies for hands-on astronomy experiments is another matter. This lab kit brings together the harder-to-find materials for Exploring Creation with Astronomy, so you're ready for each activity as it appears in the curriculum.
The kit includes more than 20 specialty items, such as a mini globe, a pipette, modeling clay, a cardboard tube, magnets, lenses, a tape measure, and many other experimental materials. (See the Details tab for the complete list.) You'll still provide a few common household supplies and pantry items, but the unusual pieces have already been gathered and are ready to use.
As your child studies the sun, moon, planets, stars, gravity, magnetism, and other astronomical concepts, he'll build models, simulate eclipses, investigate craters, construct a simple telescope, and complete many other hands-on activities that bring the lessons to life. Each investigation reinforces the concepts in the text while encouraging observation, critical thinking, and a growing appreciation for God's remarkable universe.
Designed specifically for Exploring Creation with Astronomy, this parent-led lab kit helps keep experiments organized and easy to prepare, so you can spend less time gathering supplies and more time exploring the heavens together. The kit contains small parts, is non-returnable, and should always be used with adult supervision.
How to Use Lab Kit for Exploring Creation with Astronomy
- Keep the lab kit nearby as you work through Exploring Creation with Astronomy. When an experiment calls for a specialty item, simply gather the needed pieces from the kit along with any common household supplies or fresh grocery items listed in the lesson.
- Read through each experiment before you begin, so everything is within reach. Having the materials ready ahead of time keeps the focus on observing, asking questions, and enjoying the investigation instead of searching for supplies.
- After each lab, return the reusable pieces to the kit so they'll be easy to find for the next experiment. A few minutes of organization now will save time throughout the year.

A little disappointed...
Crystal H.
I was so excited to have the option to buy lab kits for our curriculum. Most items seem to be decent quality (ex: the tape measurer is very sturdy and easy to use), but we ran into issues with our very first activity. The first 'experiment' is to build a solar system with balloons. The kit had everything we needed except for tape. The problem is that over half of the balloons had holes in them! They lacked size and color variety, but that part could be forgiven. My kids were very frustrated to have their planets deflating on them. The balloons were poor quality. This makes me a little nervous about our future experiments with this kit. I appreciate the convenience factor, but it's only convenient if the materials work. I'm going to continue using lab kits for the apologia elementary curriculum, but next time will purchase from a different distributor.
