content: 28 scientific "flash cards" intended to supplement Mae and Ira Freeman's <i>Fun With Scientific Experiments</i>. Like the book, these "Ed-U-Cards" (published by Random House around 1960) were designed for elementary school students to use at home. The accompanying brochure describes their use:
label: Description
content: "The simple experiments all using safe material usually found in the average household, should be performed at the first reading and only the very young will need adult assistance. Note that the cards should be read and kept in their numerical sequence since the information is 'programmed' with one card revealing a scientific truth that aids in the understanding of the following card. Naturally, the more time the child spends with the cards after the first reading, the more knowledge he will acquire."
