Get ready for a bubbling, hands-on STEM adventure with the BBC Earth Dig & Discover Erupting Volcano kit! Create your own fizzing eruption inside a 3D volcano, then dig through to uncover 11 real hidden gemstones, including Amethyst, Citrine, Quartzite Jade, Black Onyx, and more. Use the wooden mallet and chisel to chip away and excavate each treasure just like a real geologist. Identify each gemstone with an ID chart, then put your knowledge to the test with a "Guess the Gemstone" game! Along the way, kids will explore and discover the science behind volcanic eruptions, from chemical reactions to Earth's powerful geology. Take your tools on new adventures to explore nearby streams, trails, or sandy spots — reduce, reuse, replay! Developed alongside scientists and researchers, this hands-on science kit makes STEM learning curiosity-fueled and fun to the core. Great for ages 6 and up.

Details:

Erupt a 3D volcano and explore the basics of acid-base chemistry using vibrant red baking soda and vinegar (vinegar not included) — an exciting, hands-on intro to chemical reactions.
Discover 11 real gemstones like Amethyst, Citrine, and Blue Quartz, hidden inside the volcano and ready to be uncovered with kid-friendly excavation tools.
Dig with a reusable mallet and chisel that kids can bring on their own adventures to search for rocks and minerals outdoors or rebury their gems for repeat play.
Includes a 2-in-1 project guide and giant educational poster packed with fun facts about geology, volcanoes, and natural gemstones — perfect for display at home or in the classroom.
Teaches kids how volcanoes shape our planet while building STEM skills in observation, exploration, and hands-on discovery — developed with real scientists and researchers.
