Unearth the wonders of geology with the BBC Earth Reveal & Discover Gemstone Sifter! Using a 6" metal sifting tray and 2 lb. of sediment, young explorers can reveal nine real hidden gemstones, from rose quartz to amethyst, carnelian, and more. Just add water, shake the tray, and watch as the treasures emerge! Dive even deeper using the ID chart to identify your findings, then test your knowledge in a "Guess the Gemstone" game. With every discovery, kids will uncover the science behind the sparkle — learning how gemstones form, what they mean, and how they shape our world. When the treasure hunt ends, let curiosity lead you further by reusing the sediment, re-burying the gems, or taking your sifter to new terrain like the beach or your backyard — reduce, reuse, replay! Developed alongside scientists and researchers, this reusable science kit makes STEM learning hands-on, curiosity-driven, and seriously fun. Great for ages 6 and up.Details:Sift like a scientist using a real 6" metal tray — just add water and shake to uncover gemstones hidden in 2 pounds of sifting sediment.Reveal 9 natural gemstones, including Rose Quartz, Amethyst, Citrine, and more — then use the ID chart to identify and learn about each dazzling discovery.Encourages hands-on STEM learning by teaching kids how rocks and minerals form, how to classify them, and why they matter to our planet.Reduce, reuse, and replay by drying out the sediment to rebury the gems or take the tray on outdoor adventures — from the backyard to the beach.Includes a double-sided project guide and extra-large educational poster filled with gemstone facts — perfect for display at home or in the classroom.For ages 6 and upDetails:1 metal sifter (5.8" Dia. x 1.85" H)3 sifting sediment bags with 9 hidden gemstones (12 oz. each – Blue Quartz, Rose Quartz, Quartzite Jade, Agate, Citrine, Carnelian, Crystal Quartz, Black Onyx, Black Tourmaline)2-in-1 poster and project guide (18" x 24")
