About the Science Kits

In my opinion as an educator, Seibun Science materials offer the most unique mix of hands-on science and downright fun that is possible in a science class.  Their designers start out with the needs of teachers and the needs of students in mind.  The focus is to make these materials fun and exciting for students so that many times they don't even realize that they are learning!  The kits are very well made and can be reused over and over.  They are also designed to be used in multiple experiments.  Most kits include removable components like battery boxes, switches, and motors that can be used in many different kinds of experiments.  For the cost of one Seibun kit you often get the same amount of educational materials to do experiments that would cost you hundreds of dollars if bought separately.  Students get involved with the science when using Seibun Science Kits.  Seibun didn't stop there though!  Seibun has worked with Educators and also with companies like ours to add thousands of pages of free educational resources and materials on their website.  Lesson plans written by teachers that are correlated to the national science standards are available. 

Seibun Science Kits:

  • Have lesson plans correlated to the National Science Educational Standards
  • Have educational materials developed by Educators
  • Have a proven track record with students and teachers around the world
  • Have reusable parts and components that can be used in other experiments
  • Teach many different concepts of science all in the same kit
  • Teach concepts of alternative and solar energy
  • Require no tools, glue, or special abilities to put together
  • Can be customized with decals, stickers, or by painting
  • Are great for Elementary or Middle School but have been used in High School and College!
  • Work with Probeware to generate interesting data for analysis

Seibun Kits are available that include the Solar Sport Racer, Solar Mars Crawler, Walking Space Robot, Hovercraft, Space-Explorer, and more!  These kits that are like vehicles, robots, and toys are designed to grab students attention and help them own the science they are learning!
