Working on giving my kid exposure to the great works of America's Golden Age, before it was ruined by Post-Modernist Third World Worshipers.
Kits of this type (not radioactive) were the reason I went into science instead of engaging in usual East European entertainment of drunk fistfights. These days, obviously, nothing like this can be sold and used, so kids are left typing stupidities on their iphones.

I remember assembling a pair of Van de Graffs in a first year physics course. We put together 2 so we would have the electric arc stream between the two spheres. Of course, being immature shits, we would use the VDG to charge up one of those goblet sized 3 piece capacitors and disassemble it, then give it to a buddy who would reassemble the capacitor and then get zapped.

Remember these, they use to have all sorts of cool things that one could build.
Maybe because I spent many afternoons as a kid digging through all the books my grandparents had (my Grandpa was a HS Dropout autodidact, my Grandma a librarian who picked up all the good discarded kid's books). My Grandpa obtained every one of those little books that were well illustrated for Geology, Astronomy, etc.
Just ordered the book linked to this Disney Classic:
Our Friend the Atom
We'll pick up where we left off, once we give Post-Modernism a one-way helicopter ride.
EDIT: @Patrick - eliminating the Youtube link from the new post allowed it to be published.
