Things of Science was an educational program launched by the Science Service in November 1940. The program consisted of a series of kits available by subscription and sent by mail monthly. The program continued until 1989.
Each month, subscribers received a small blue box about the size of a videocasette. The box contained a yellow booklet explaining the topic for that month, along with the pieces and supplies needed to cover the topic. Some kits would teach about a specific topic, such as coal. Other kits would provide parts to build items such as a small spectrograph, telescope, or pinhole camera.
