Iron for Breakfast Science Fair Kit

Armed with a powerful magnet and lots of curiosity, discover and then explore the metallic iron in iron-fortified cereal. Test it dry, float it on water and make cereal soup to see first-hand the metal you're eating. Kit comes complete with science fair tips and experiments.

It all starts with, "I wonder why?" or, "How come?" or, "What if?" A small wonder and a little exploration can lead to big discoveries! Great ideas and outstanding questions often arise out of doing another experiment. All of the Science Fair Solutions kits help you to learn how to think like a scientist and use the scientific method. Remember, the first step to getting the answer is wondering about the question. Recommended for children ages 4 and up.
