Bill Nye's Xtreme Weather Lab VR
(Abacus $44.99)
Another great science kit from Abacus that brings the home science kit into the 21st century by including Virtual Reality goggles. Kids can wear the goggles to experience different types of extreme weather including a tornado, volcano, avalanche and tsunami. The VR also walks kids through the experiments suggested in the thoughtful and well-designed booklet that comes with the kit. You'll also be happy to know that you can watch all of the VR content on your phone or tablet so if you'd like to see the material together (especially the experiments) it's much easier. Marked 8 & up.
