Why do earthquakes happen and what is the science behind them? To answer these questions, we’ll need to study the structure of the Earth, and the “Earthquakes” set by MEL Science can help! Explore the inner workings of our planet and learn how people construct buildings for maximum earthquake resistance!

"Fun experiments each month to do with my daughters. Easy to follow instructions & a great STEM teaching aid. I was a chemistry major so I love being able to show my daughters why I love science."

"Our 7 y/o daughter did her first box immediately and, when she was done, asked when the next one would be delivered! She loves it! It’s high quality and a great addition to our home school science!"
