Steve Spangler's Newton's Beads Science Experiment Kit Activity for Kids

I bought one for my Kindergarten science class and loved it so much I purchased another one to send as a gift! Forewarning though, the effect works best when the beads are placed in the cup in a circular pattern and it takes a long time to do. My only true complaint is it’s pricey considering they send you a long strand of cheap, plastic beads and a plastic solo cup.

Excellent demo. Only thing is it takes a long time to set up. Putting the beads back in the cup takes a while, and time is of the essence when doing a science demonstration. Materials are of great quality.

Mesmerizing phenomena. Works as described. Enjoyed playing wit it. My 3 and 1.5 year olds could care less. 1.5 year old intent on wrapping beads tightly around her neck.Beads are magic and fluid once or twice- then becomes a clot it beads that take a lot of work untangling.Would have liked color options like silver or black. Too Madi Gras throw-a-way looking as is.

Not what I thought I was ordering. Should have read more reviews. It’s basically just a long string of beads and a plastic cup. Not a good value for the money in my opinion.

They are fun to watch

Very fun for the kids

They do what they are supposed to, but they demonstrate "The Mould Effect" and I don't see Steven Mould's name anywhere. I'm not saying he deserves a cut, but some acknowledgement would be nice.
