Not only does this "toy" help you learn about hydroponics, it lets your grow your own plants indoors. I started lettuce and baby carrots and within 4 days they had germinated -- very quick! The greenhouse feeds itself; all you have to do is add more nutrient solution every so often and harvest your plants. This greenhouse isn't really a toy; it's too useful and interesting to be a toy. And while the box is slightly small and the "lid" part rather flexible, cheap plastic, it does hold up and certainly works. I'm very happy with the greenhouse!

ITS AMAZING HOW THIS WORKS!!! FIRST INSTEAD OF USING SOIL IT USES A GROWING MEDIUM WITH NO SOIL. YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT 24 HOURS OR EVEN DAYS BEFORE YOU USE THIS YOU JUST POUR WATER ON TOP OF THE GROWING MEDIUM AND START PLANTING!!! YOU DONT HAVE TO WATER OR FERTILIZE IT BECAUSE YOU MIX THE NUTREINT MIX AND THE WATER TOUGHER AND IT WATERS AND FERTILIZES IT WHEN IT NEEDS IT. YOU CAN PLANT ALMOST ANYTHING FROM FRUITS TO VEGGIES OR HERBS TO FLOWERS!! THIS PROUDUCT IS GREAT AND I RECOMEND IT!!!!

I bought this for my son's 4th birthday and he loved it! My husband and I spent several evenings doing the various experiments with him and we had a great time too. My son really enjoyed learning about mixing colors and the whole "experiment" aspect of it. The materials, such as the droppers and test tubes, are reusable so you can make up your own experiments too.

I did this kit with my 4-year-old daughter and she loved it! There are various activities within the kit -- she expecially liked making the rainbow of crystals. She also enjoyed mixing the colors and even wanted to write down the results. She's now 5 and still remembers the experiment and thinks science is fun. Well worth it!

He was so thrilled to receive it as a gift. And he's six years old. He knows his Power Rangers stuff.

I watch it all the time its same interesting like the first time the casts are excellent , I like the colors of their costume I dream power ranger in my sleep, always anxious what will happen next, I am engrossed while watching and think I am one of them . The song is best go go power ranger

Star Soldier is the N64 reincarnation of the NES classic. I, for one, miss the SNES days of top and side-scrolling space shooters (Gradius, etc.). So for me, this game was an excellent find. Star Soldier gives you your choice of 3 extremely powerful ships, then lets you out into a vast array of different worlds, with the ultimate goal being to destroy the sinister Duoss Core. You can collect powerups for your main weapon, as well as powerful "ExArms" items which give you a short period of absolute annihilation. There are several different modes, including a timed mode where you try to get the most hits within the given time period. If the game proves too difficult, simply tone down the difficulty a bit until you are ready. Overall, gamers looking for a little nostalgia in the highly advanced N64 world should be most pleased with Star Soldier.

This game is excellent. The gameplay and graphics is great. This game is way better than Star Fox. Each stage has a unique master that is pretty difficult. In my eyes this game is the best game I've ever played.

Even thought it is fun it is very hard (sometimes). I would reccomend this game all the way. it takes alot of time and tries to get used to this game but its worth it. BUY IT YOU WONT BE SORRY!!!!!!

Thunder for, in my opinion, is one of the best shoot'em up's ever created. It should not be compared to other games (like Einhander, even though people think that this is better, which I disagree) of it's type. All those who have ever played the other games of the series know that even though the game can be EXTREMELY HARD, it is NEVER cheap. It demmands ultimate concentration, just as Working Designs implies. The graphics may not be the best ever seen, but they are pretty ... good anyway. I recommend this game, but be warned, you must be up to the challenge.

Real life bodily functions (almost all of them) and other gross stuff are brought to light in an educational game. Compete with friends, "gross" them out, complete a science experiment and win the game! Though you may not agree that the subject matters are acceptable in polite society, this game is a blast to play. 5 stars for a fun time, educational about snot, vomit, toe jam, ear crud and stuff like that and 5 stars for durability !!

My oldest son, age 10, along with his best friend, 10, started playing this game. Within minutes, they were in hysterics, doing the things the game told them to do and learning all the way. My 8 year old son joined in and he too had a blast. The questions challenged them to think about things differently, to try out new things, and of course, to use science as part of their everyday life. The directions were easy to understand, the board itself a visual delight, the goop an added bonus (as far as they were concerned) and the resulting laughter was worth every penny spent on this game. I recommend it highly--so does my son who wants to purchase it as a birthday present for his other friends!

A great price for educational experiments. My 6 yr-old and 4 yr-old both enjoyed making snow and playing with gooey polymers. I was amazed as well, especially by the easy-to-understand instructions and interesting science facts.

this toy helped me on my science project i won it showed me how snow is formed and every thing

Aqui nos encotramos que la larga guerra contra el pueblo de los Kilrathis ha terminado. Pero el espacio no es un lugar tranquilo. Una nueva amenaza surge y sera otra vez al Coronel Blair te luchar para la paz universal.

Realmente es de lejos el mejor juego que he jugado en PC. Tiene una gran cantidad de peliculas (6 cds en total) y la historia es increible. Los graficos son tambien muy buenos y las misiones tambien.

No hay nada que criticarle al juego... para cualquier fan de WC es un sueño.

Firstly, before I say anything about the game; let me state for the record that I'm a dedicated Wing Commander fan - I've played quite literally every game in the series, and still cerish them today, even with hit games like the Ace Combat series starting to rise through the Playstation elite. That said; the review:

Wing Commander is a space-flight simulation game with a unique twist in its story: it's highly moldable to your personal preformance during missions, and actions you take between. Unlike other games, your wingmen behave quite realistically; each one has an individual personality, and their personalities adapt based upon their experience flying with you. As an example; if you decide to take a rookie pilot under your wing, the commands you give him will gradually shape his personality, and the choices he makes in combat (going in full afterburners, like the infamous Maniac, or more conservative and judgemental of the current situation, like other favorites from the original such as Iceman or Angel.)

The story itself picks up where the last game in the series left off; the Kilrathi threat has been nullified, but skirmishes between the border colonies and inner confederation break out continuously; with the confederate not wanting to act descisively in the matter. Not much more can be said regarding without ruining the story, but suffice to say it's masterfully plotted and there are plenty of twists and turns that will throw you for a loop. If that's not enough; there are a multitude of different outcomes; indeed, different campaigns, that are chosen by your actions. Talk about replay value... you could play the game through three or four times and have a completely different experience each time. Best yet; there's finally a game in which your wingmates aren't simply indispensable drones meant only to draw fire; you live and die as a team in this game; and characters do indeed die... permanently. A wrong action, or reckless command can potentially kill untrained wingmates, and adds to the excellent depth and realism of the game.

The graphics are great; there's really no other way to put it. The details are amazing, without being over-blocky, and the game never once dropped below a very respectable 40-fps. The in-game cinamatics are absolutely amazing in quality; although some of the acting leaves a bit to be desired for. Acting - that's right. For those of you who have't played the prequel to this game, it has an actual directed cast that play out the multitude of scenarios, adding even more depth.

Sound and music, sadly, do not greatly contribute to the excellence of the game. While the sound is quite alright for a standard space-shooter, the music has never really been the series' finest points. That said, it's not unbearable, it just could have used a boost.

The bottom line is simple: if you're looking for an extremely realistic space combat simulator with depth and an actual story line, look no further. The replayability will serve you well, and you'll love this game for a long time. Dedicated hardcore fans of the series will go absoultely nuts over this gem. If you're the casual gamer; take a look at this game: you stand to like it a lot if you get to know it.

It's a good thing, easy to transport your Sea Monkeys and watertight. Just a warning, though. Be careful if you strap it onto a backpack or anything, as alot of bouncing can harn your little friends. And please, Please, PLEASE, do NOT put your Sea Monkeys in there for more than 36 hours. And no more than about 20 or so.

An edutainment game that will help your children learn about science (botany, cellular biology, zoology, genetics, and human biology) as they solve puzzles and make their way through the world of Bioscopia. My nine and six year-old children love this game. Children under eight will probably need some assistance, but adults should enjoy this game as well.

PS--Although it doesn't mention it in Amazon's description, this game is a hybrid PC/Mac (OS 8.1 or higher) game!
