Very entertaining for babies. Only thing is the graphics are too computerized for my taste. Everything moves at the same time, like robots. But songs and rhythms are great. Our baby's hooked!

Review of LeapFrog Leapster Math Baseball Software

Customer Ratings:

Overview (from the parent guide): Math Baseball supports number-fact drills through 12 in each of the following operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Players select the correct answer to flash card-like equations that appear on the screen. By choosing the right answer from two answer choices as quickly as they can, players advance the game. If they click on an incorrect answer, however, their team loses the play. It's a fast-paced game that increases in speed and difficulty as players answer questions correctly and slows down with easier problems if they answer incorrectly to allow more time for mental computation. The faster they solve equations, the faster and farther the ball travels. If players answer too slowly, the opposing team might catch their ball but if they answer quickly, players can hit a single, double, triple, or even a home run!

I hesitated in purchasing this game for my 4 year old daughter because it seemed to be geared more toward elementary grades. Much of it is too difficult for her, but there is one area where she has fun. The T-ball section doesn't operate on a timer so she can take as long as she needs to count baseballs or figure out easy addition or subtraction problems.

I had my 11 year old son try this cartridge to see if he thought the rest of the game was fun (even if it was too easy for him). He had fun for a little while, but after a few innings and a score of 40-0 he became bored. It also didn't take him long to realize that there are only 2 choices for answers and he has a 50/50 chance of getting the right answer without even looking at the math question.

The only real negative item that I saw with this program for children in the recommended age range is that it only saves one team and one game created by the user. If you have more than one child using this cartridge, they will be overwriting each other's saved games and teams.

Overall, I think this cartridge is a fun way for children to memorize their math tables.

My first grade son loves his Leapster and every other cartridge that he owns but he just doesn't like this one. I was hoping that Math Baseball would be a fun way for him to practice his beginning math skills but it hasn't turned out that way. The way the rules are re-explained is annoying for both him and me and even when you answer a problem correctly it doesn't insure that you won't hit a pop up that is caught or pitch a ball that gets hit. I guess thats the way the real world works but my son found it disillusioning and it only further contributed to his lack of interest in this game. My kid loves to learn. He loves to read. He loves to draw. We make up math games at home. I am always looking for a way to keep him stimulated but also encourage him to have a little fun. This game just didn't do it for him.

This game is pretty brilliant. It has addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. You first choose if you want a combination or just one. Then you can choose practice or a real game. It works with kids just learning and really challenges those who want to get faster. If your up to bat the faster you answer the question determines how good you hit the ball. You answer really fast you might just hit a home run, and it you miss, then of course you strick out. When your playing out field, you determine how fast you get the other team out by how fast you answer the questions. It's very fun, and easy to learn. I didn't like how they reexplained things every time you change from out field to infield or started a new game, but then we found that if you hit I think it's the home key then you can pass that up, and your fun doesn't get interupted. I think it should also be known that this game is plenty of fun for kids from ages 6-11, and even longer if your kid just needs to strengthen their speed of their math, which coming from a High school math teacher is very important in Junior High and High School math.

Honest reviews on LeapFrog Leapster Math Baseball Software

This is my 6 year olds favorite Leapster Game (and we have a LOT of them). It's a great tool for teaching them their basic math skills while having fun playing at the same time. I have a 4 year old that also owns a Leapster and this is the game that gets fought over the most because they both want to play it at the same time. I definately recommend it for a parent looking to get their baseball fan started learning math.

I bought this for my 7 year old second grader. He loves baseball, and really liked the feature that enabled him to set up his team. My favorite part is that for one of the games you hit the ball farther the faster you answer the question (his school is big on how quickly they can answer basic addition/subtraction facts). His sister (age 4) can also play the game on it's easiest level.

The slides are supplied in a nice wooden case with a sheet of paper listing each slide and the slot number it is located in the case. The slides all had fingerprints or dirt on them but a quick wipe and they were easily cleaned. The range of subjects covered is nice and most of the slides are well prepared. Quality of stain was good and some of the slides I have viewed so far were really outstanding ( Housefly Compound Eye,Human Spermatozoa, Rabbit Testis). A few slides are of very small objects and it was difficult to locate them as there weren't many on the side. I got a set of 5 slides with my Celestron microscope and I can't help but feel that the Celestron slides are better quality. Overall the value for money with the AmScope set cannot be beaten. I will be buying their other sets in future. You should probably check what objects are included in each set so that when you add to your collection you minimise the number of duplicated slides. My kids are inspired by this kit.

I had bought my daughter an Amscope 40x to 2000x microscope for her 7th birthday and wanted her to have a collection of prepared slides to start her in the world of microscopy. I don't have much experience with microscopes, but this prepared slide collection seemed to offer a good selection of plant and animal specimens. I gave four stars instead of five because some of the slides didn't seem to have anything on them. But, I don't know if that was because there was nothing on them, or if I didn't know what I was looking for. Also, the top of the box was not clearly marked, so when my daughter first opened it, the slides fell out of all their slots and it took me a while to sort them out again. None-the-less, I would recommend this slide collection to anyone who might be getting their first microscope or who might be giving a microscope as a gift. It's a great way to get started. Then, buy a slide making kit and start making your own slides (Amazon sells a kit that comes with a good introductory book on microscopy that can serve as a guide for preparing slides).

First off I should state that I am a pre-med student taking pre-requisites for medical school and I purchased this set to become more familiar with histology (the study of tissue) particularily in mammals for my Human Anatomy and Physiology class. I have a standard binocular microscope with an oil imersion lens. For the money I found these slides to be very well prepared and comparable to the slides my college bio lab had.

Some of the samples are a little bit thick but you would have to spend 3 to 4 times the amont of money for better preparations. If you are a pre-med student or biology major this is a great set to work off of.

Some of the fixatives and dyes are basic and you can't see absolutely everything but you can see most major tissue landmarks and structures. This set has over 22 slides of mammal tissue from a wide range of locations so there is a lot to look at and study. Most of the samples are from a dog or rabbit but there are a few human samples.

Mine came very nicely packaged and undamaged. Easy to store and clean. I would definately purchase another AmScope set based on this one.

I bought this as a gift for a 10 month old. She has not yet grasped the concept of putting the shapes through the appropriate holes, but she loves pulling them out of the container and tossing them around. It's a sturdy product and the shapes are a good fit for her little hands. The latest game is tossing them and seeing their little dog run off with the shapes. I believe the toy is sturdy enough so that it will be available when she's ready for the shape sorting. The lid to the box comes off and on easily yet it stays on firmly when you put the toy back on the shelf for the next play time.

I am giving a baby shower with a retro theme and have purchased different toys for decor (& cannot rate how much frun, durable, etc). These music boxes are very cute and the colors vibrant; I'm very happy with the music box itself.

Had I realized they were not sold in sets of three, I would not have purchased one for the price.

The globe is relly nice, lights up, attractive. The stand is a little bulky, but it is better than the pedastal stands that just never seem to tighten up. The way the globe sits on the stand is a little inconvenient because the electric wire for the light hangs down undernear and requires some attention when you turn the globe very much. But all in all, I like it. It's big enough and good for showing the kids where things are. Which is what I got it for.

Cheap Molecular Models 214 Piece Organic and Stereochemistry Set

Customer Ratings:

The model kit is great because it has a high number of carbons and hydrogen. The main problem with the kit is that it feels unorganized it would of been nice to have a couple partitions inside the box to keep my elements and bonds organized. Also it would have been better if the all the hydrogens were full globes instead of the semi-circles that come with the kit. Aside from those two minor points the model kit is great for its intended purpose.

This model set is great! The box is about 8 1/2 long, 4 inches wide and about 2 inches thick. It is lightweight and easy to carry around whenever you need it. If you want a "bigger" picture, this is better to use than other model kits, which are thin and look like toothpicks and peas. It's easy to put together and breakdown. Most of the spheres are the size of a nickel and a few are about the size of a dime. For Organic Chemistry, this is especially helpful for understanding Newman Projections and Lewis Structures.

More than enough pieces to do about anything you could need to, but the hydrogen atoms are not spheres, but half-spheres which I understand, but makes it a bit annoying. also, the short connectors are not sufficient to hold the half-spheres to the carbon. They hydrogens like to pop off.

Cheap Magnetic Poetry Kids Story Maker

Customer Ratings:

I work with four kindergarten classes each day, and one of the teachers has Magnetic Poetry Kids Story Maker magnets on a file cabinet in her room where they are accessible to all of her students. These magnets make it enjoyable for the students to create thoughts, poetry, messages and short stories. I love to begin a poem before I leave the class and see how the students will complete it. I enjoyed using the story-starter magnets so much, I bought myself a set and combined it with the Poets magnet set.

I'm really disappointed in this product.

The tense of the verbs conflicts with the rest of the sentence structure.

They should use a similar idea as their "In Other Words" collection where you can flip the magnet over... and the tense of the verb changes to match the subject case.

Great conceptual idea, but the finished product is junk.

Back to the drawing board guys!

My son enjoys making crazy sentences with this toy. The different colors make it easy to help him get all the parts of the sentence. I marked less durable because the magnets could be easily snapped in half by a younger child. For an older child it would last for quite a while.

We have a boy in 2nd grade and a boy in Kindergarten so we bought this set thinking that it would be a good way to help them with sentence creation. They were very excited at first, but like most things the interest waned after awhile. The main problem is that even though the phrases are helpful for making sentences, they also tend to limit creativity a bit. For our son in kindergarten the words are a bit too advanced, but we knew that. However, using colors for the different types grammar is super helpful and a great idea and really helpful! The quality is good, they have strong magnets and don't fall off the fridge even when the door is slammed. The only complaint that I have is that I wish the words weren't quite so tame and boring. I know it is for kids, but my boys are much more interested if they could make some sentences that sound gross or involve explosions, etc.

Blocks this size for a baby are a great toy for hand/eye coordination and for learning to grasp larger items. This is important for their gross motor skills to develop. It will eventually develop into them being able to stack them and build with them, but for now it's just for learning coordination. I also ordered another set of similar blocks so when he is old enough to actually PLAY and BUILD with blocks, he will have a large enough set to do so. The blocks are a good quality and the color doesn't seem to run should he put them up to his mouth to try to suck on them! The edges are all smooth and I don't see any splintering of the wood.
