What to expect
Multi-stage builds and longer investigations with real experimental design. Read the safety notes carefully — several need adult supervision or specific equipment.
Advanced projects from the community library, rated by how much setup, measurement and skill they need rather than by how impressive they look.

Multi-stage builds and longer investigations with real experimental design. Read the safety notes carefully — several need adult supervision or specific equipment.
Difficulty comes from the project's own record — the number and complexity of steps, the tools required and the skill level the creator set — not from a subjective label, so it stays comparable across subjects.

From the project's own record — the number and complexity of its steps, the tools it needs and the skill level its creator set — not from a subjective label, so it stays comparable across subjects.
A research question and hypothesis, the independent and dependent variables, the variables to hold constant, a full materials list with costs, numbered steps, safety guidance and a data table you can fill in as you test.
It varies, so every project page states a cost estimate and a realistic time estimate up front. You can rule a project in or out before buying anything.
Some do. Every project lists its hazards and whether adult supervision is required in an at-a-glance panel on its page, so you can check suitability before you start.
