This review is from : The Magic School Bus: The World of Germs
We love the Magic School Bus Kits . I am the father of 3 boys and they love the Magic School Bus books and show. This led to each of them asking for one of the kits on their birthdays and then all of them descending on the kits once they were opened. We love them and have had so much fun with them. They had a blast trying to decide what to "swab" to test for bacteria. It was one of the funnier things that they have done. My wife and I were laughing so hard (you can only imagine what 3 boys 6-11 would think was a good idea to test!!!!). As much as the shows and the books have gotten my kids excited about science and the natural world, these kits (the human body, the mystery of rainbows and the world of germs) have done even more. They love working on them. We think that these are a great family activity and would recommend them highly!!!

The Magic School Bus: The World of Germs Reviews
Quality Educational Fun Affordable and Appropriate . This product is excellent. I got it for my 4yr old daughter not sure what to expect. Made very very well. Well thought out product with creative experiments; not the typical non-applicable ones. The creative idea sided with it; The Magic School Bus was also a hit as my daughter loves those books. We tried all the experiments and they all worked flawlessly. She, even at 4, was able to do them on her own and even keep the log of daily changes. She is learning a lot and has a strong desire to do more of these. Making the petri dishes was even surprisingly easy for me. The tools and accessories that come with the kit are made well and the directions are very clear. The information that comes along in the creatively written booklet are also very developmentally appropriate for younger kids in the age range that the product specifies for. Gives lots of interesting info to go with each experiment. We will be buying more of these kits.

The Magic School Bus: The World of Germs Opinions
It's A Wild Ride Into the World of Germs! . This past year for first grade science I purchased three of the Magic School Bus Science Kits to use alongside the Magic School Bus books, chapter books and television episodes to teach science. At first my 7 y.o. balked at the idea of studying "germs" but when I combined this science kit with Bill Nye's "Big Book of Germs" we took a wild ride into the land of micro organisms which lasted for 4 weeks. I would highly recommend this product to parents/teachers to engage your students in the world of science.

Mediocre . Pretty average. Many of the experiments are things I have done myself with baby food jars and medicine droppers. The test tubes are very small, narrow. It's hard to stir and do anything other than exactly what is in the book. Directions to add 3 ml of sugar is not helpful when there is no measuring spoon or scale or whatever for measuring milliliters.
FYI Most of the experiments require several days to see results. Not exactly what my 7 year old had in mind.

Excellent Learning Tool . I teach a small group of home schoolers aged 5-8 based on these kits and this kit got rave reviews. Kids loved doing the "Cleanest Toes" experiment and we turned it into a contest. I used 4 kits for 12 kids and they were able to share with few extras being purchased (from the grocery store). I combined it with the "Journey Into the Human Body" kit for the semester. We watched "Inside Ralphie" which is about germs and the human body to tie it all together.
The only downside was that there aren't many experiments that produce immediate results. Most of them take an hour or days, considering you're growing germs. It wouldn't be fun for a child under 5. Note: don't prepare your agar until you need it. Germs are attracted to it and will cause it to be a gross surface before you even add your experiment to it.

Great educational gift . Bought this for my 7 year old nephew for Christmas. He LOVED it. Needs adult supervision. But a great thing to do together. Fun way to learn without feeling like you are shoving education down their throats. :)
Waste of Money . I have done 3 experiments from this kit so far and every single one was a flop. I even went to the store and bought new yeast because I thought maybe it was old but it didn't make any difference. I wish I could get my money back for this kit. It was a complete waste of time and money.
Dissapointed Dad . Bought as Xmas gift, experiments are well laid out and easy to understand. Our set had old yeast which led to failed experiments. It's hard to find a good science kit nowadays this one is average. This kit is fun but needs to have fresh materials to be fun for kids. Would not buy again.

No science here . Maybe it was a bad batch of yeast, but none of the experiments worked for my excited 5 year old nephew. It was a disappointment,
