Discovery Kids Ultimate Labs DNA Explorer
James Watson was only 24 when he discovered the helical structure of DNA, but this kit from Discovery Kids–the first to feature a bona fide centrifuge and electrophoresis chamber–will turn your kid on to the intricacies of genetics at an even younger age. Realistic lab equipment transforms the kitchen into a forensics lab, where your breakfast-bar biologist can extract clumps of real DNA from fruits and vegetables or solve «crimes» by revealing DNA «fingerprints»–telltale blue protein stripes in a gel mixture. $80
