Description

Journey deep into the heart of our planet with this exciting hands-on bundle designed for curious young geologists and earth science enthusiasts.

The captivating Journey to Earth’s Core book takes readers on an unforgettable scientific expedition beneath the Earth’s surface. Through vivid illustrations and engaging explanations, children will explore the Earth’s crust, mantle, and core while discovering the incredible forces that shape our planet — from shifting tectonic plates and powerful earthquakes to volcanic eruptions and flowing lava.

Bring Earth science to life with the National Geographic Volcano Science Kit, where tamariki can build and erupt their very own volcano. Complete with everything needed for an exciting volcanic eruption experiment and a full-colour learning guide, this interactive activity introduces key geology concepts through memorable, hands-on exploration.

Educator Approved

Fosters Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving Skills

The Volcano Science Kit encourages children to think critically as they explore how volcanic eruptions occur and experiment with different outcomes. As kids build and trigger their own eruptions, they are constantly assessing, adjusting, and problem-solving, key skills that are highly valued in the 21st century. This hands-on activity helps children develop a growth mindset, learning that trial and error is part of the scientific process.

Encourages Scientific Inquiry & Critical Thinking

Readers will explore key geological concepts, asking questions about how and why our planet changes over time. By analysing real-world phenomena like earthquakes and mountain formation, they’ll develop a scientific mindset that fosters curiosity and problem-solving.

Encourages Active Learning and Hands-On Engagement

Avoid passive screen time - the Volcano Science Kit provides an excellent opportunity for active, hands-on learning. While Journey to the Earth's Core helps deepen their learning. By building, experimenting, and observing the volcano, children are engaged in tactile, sensory-rich experiences that help them retain knowledge better and understand concepts more deeply, developing practical skills such as teamwork, communication, and the ability to adapt to new challenges.
