MEL Science Kits

 Good Will has MEL Chemistry Kits available.  I like to buy these kits in lots.  Good Will has several individual kits available, too; the bid and shipping can run over $25 per kit.  eBay has kits for as little as $10, a much better deal.  Good Will has Starter kits listed, too.  Use this site as comparison.  Does the kit look complete?  (Here is a blog post about different burners.  The starter kit has an emergency camp stove, which works with tea candles.). A MEL bundle is useful as a supplement for Chemistry labs.  I bought a dozen individual kits for my Chemistry class to try at the end of the course.  The labs are fun and typically outside the normal curriculum.  BTW we didn’t use the VR headset or lens.  We just wanted to play with the labs.  You can buy an individual kit and use the QR code.  Google Cardboard is a similar VR headset.  Cell phones lens clip over the camera’s lens on the cell phone or tablet.  Any digital microscope works if you want a close-up of the experiment.
