Description
This page is probably a replacement sent out to a subscriber of the U.K.-based Advisory Centre for Education’s Things of Science kits in 1963. The kits were bought from American company Science Service, who begun creating them in the 1940s, and were relabelled to be sent out to British audiences. This page would have been included in the relabelled box and would translate American terms for the young British users.
