Don't Try This At Home

On their television show, the MythBusters are constantly reminding us not to try what they're doing at home. They're always working with dangerous substances: thermite, C4, frozen projectile chickens. They've created this kit to allow the viewers at home (specifically the younger ones) to experiment with that most elusive of substances: water. Okay. So it's not elusive. But unless applied at high force and volume, it is less likely to sever one of your appendages than any of the formerly mentioned dangerous substances. Plus, it's available in your kitchen. That's what the guys who invented hot and cold running water were thinking. "Oh hey. We have that hygiene thing covered now, plus, they can do MythBusters experiments without ever having to leave the house. Bonus." As Buster guides kids through each experiment in the Weird World of Water Science Exploration Kit, the kids learn the scientific method hands-on and have the satisfaction of checking off Busted, Confirmed, or Plausible at the end of each project.
