MEL Science Reviews 602

My grandchildren loved these kits which encourage children to understand the beginnings of physics and chemistry. while my grandson is now in college, my granddaughter who is in fifth grade just explored hydraulics by building a hydraulic jack. They really support experiential learning.

I have been using Mel Science products since 3rd April 2022.
Previously, I used many leading children’s chemistry and physics sets since being suspended 13th March 2010 and then expelled 12th September 2011 from a UK university. The reasons for my expulsion are:
[i] I attained a distinction for my sandwich placement work. One of the academics found that mark distressing. Because students are not allowed to distress academics, I was expelled.
[ii] I complied with my sandwich placement employee contract and my student contract by submitting my work for marking in good time. The work went to my directors – Senior Leadership Team - and to my lecturers – also Senior Leadership Team. Without my prior knowledge, the academic wanted me to act ultra vires of both the employment law contract and the student law contract and have the university board Action my work prior to me having it marked. Consequently, the academic successfully expelled me for distributing an unauthorised report estate wide even though it was just my placement work being submitted for marking.
The reason I utilised Mel Science is I wanted the same high quality products at home that are available at university, and theirs are. In many instances, Mel Science products can be considered superior. This is because the equipment needs to be built. Building embeds further understanding. The accompanying booklets and online platforms are easy to understand and follow and publish images to social media.
The reason that I have ended my subscription, is to repay my Student Finance loan, so that I can attend university in the US. I’ll be free from UK academic harm there.
In the meantime, I will continue to use the unopened equipment from the generous Mel Science kits, and I look forward to the day that I can reinstall my account with Mel Science. In the meantime, I will miss their products and their support team.

MEL science has great products AND customer service. We love the quality of the kits, and whenever I run into an issue the customer service team has been able to quickly find me a resolution. I’m happy to have found this resource for my kids.

Kits are really well though of, the best parts about these kits is the amazement of the child and the interaction with the parent. This has really opened my daughter eyes and interest in science. I would recommend this product to all parents.

Mel science are scamming thier customers! I only subscribed for 3 months, but they have continued to charge a further 3 months after cancelling my subscription. After several attempts to cancel, by voice, txt, on their site and helpdesk, they still continue to charge.DON'T DO IT!!!

It was a great science supplement for my homeschooled child and would definitely recommend it for that and also kids who just love science.

Excellent present for 8-9 y.o curios kid.
we have enjoyed building all the models together and reading more about science with my son. It was our farther and son time!

Every box was great! My kids loved them all, especially my now 9yo that has been able to do them mostly on his own using the app.

We had the subscription for almost 2 years. My son loved it. It was the motivation to start STEM as a course

My now 8 year old nephew LOVED his STEM kits so much that he was automatically switched to physics kits when he completed all the STEM during year 2. We’ve now signed him up for a 3rd year, doing chemistry. The quality of the materials is really good. His younger sister has kits from another company and you can really tell a difference in the quality!

The experiments were interesting and engaging and varied. I had a great time doing them with my kids. The assembly for some of the experiments could be a bit tricky at times since some of the wooden pieces were fragile enough that it was difficult to put them together without bending/breaking a part, even when careful, but that was rare. The learning that accompanied the experiments was interesting and easy to understand even for my 8/9 yo.

great job by MEL SCIENCE creators! Bravo and please continue developing beautiful science for our children!

My grandson loved the kits. One issue was they were not able to access the QR codes for the math kits. Being able to easily get paper instructions would be helpful.

The products are very good and provided hours of fun for my grandchildren.

The kits come with everything you need. The material is not cheap or break easily. They will be able to play with what they create more than once. There are several activities in each box all aligned with the same topic. The video lesson to go with it helps to make sure they are doing it correctly and you are not left trying to figure it out on your own.

Thank you so much for an amazing experience for my son for all these years. He is graduating high school and heading to Yale where he plans to be a geology and physical sciences major. He is grateful for the years with MEL Science, and very appreciative, in fact he just told me so. I would highly recommend this to any child and wish you all well.

After subscription i have received only one box. Second charge was made but no box were send. When i tried to cancel my subscription they offered my free delivery with promise that they eill contact my in order to resolve an ussue but this never happened. At the end i have canceled ny subscription but did not receive niether a second box neither mony back. Stay away

after I posted this review, i was contacted by MEL Science. Thay had made a refund. So I am fixing this review from 1 star to 3 because of whole that experience. That is really sad that men has to write bad review here in order to solve the problem!

3rd box in, and we’re missing the main piece of the entire project. My oldest son has a subscription to Crunch Labs, which is cheaper and a lot better quality. Comes with videos to teach you the science behind the experiment and walks you through each step. On year two and we’ve never missed a piece for an experiment.

The MelScience activities have been outstanding! My son loves to have us do them together so he can share what he learned.
The only downside is the high cost. Having videos on the app and all supplies included do make it worth it, but it’s still expensive.

The kits were always interesting, great for any child that is even remotely interested in science. They enjoyed every experiment they ran, always a good learning experience as well!
