Top science gifts for the curious kid
By GreatSchools Staff
Your junior wizard

"What happens when I mix ketchup, eggs, baking powder, vinegar, and pickle juice together?" "What existed before the beginning of the universe?"

Our list of 19 science-minded gifts will take your worldly wonderer to infinity… and beyond.
