About National Geographic Mega Science 2026
National Geographic's Mega Science calendar, retitled for 2026 but the same Blue Marble kit as last year's, is 24 windows of two kinds: 13 science experiments drawn from the brand's kits and 11 rock and crystal specimens, with the last window a mini dig brick holding a pyrite lump to excavate. The experiments Amazon names are growing a crystal tree, making a test tube glow, floating coins, revealing a hidden message and making instant snow; the specimens include carnelian, chevron amethyst, snowflake obsidian, a geode and tiger's eye, with a storage pouch.
A bonus guide adds ten more experiments to do with household things. Pitched at ages 8 to 12.
39.99 USD from Amazon.com, sold and shipped by Amazon, in stock when checked; 4.6 stars across 750 reviews.

Dearer than most here.
Our National Geographic Mega Science 2026 review.
Our verdict
Thirteen kit experiments and eleven crystals behind 24 windows with a pyrite dig at the end, 39.99 USD and the same kit as last year's under a new title. The most to do of the National Geographic four, and the box names only a third of it.
Curated by Max Zeshut · 2026 season · How we review
What works
- Thirteen experiments and eleven specimens, so a door is a thing to do or a thing to keep

- Ten bonus experiments in the guide
What does not
- Amazon names five of the 13 experiments and five of the 11 stones
- 39.99 USD, the dearest of the four National Geographic boxes
