Jul. 18, 2009 - Science Kits by Mail

I just discovered a science resource called The Young Scientist Club. It was designed by a team of students at Harvard University to increase a child's interest in science.

Each month (or bi-monthly depending on the subscription you choose), your child receives a science kit and instructions. The kits cover all sorts of topics from batteries to bacteria to bones and muscles. You can see a complete list here. Not only do the kits introduce your child to science, but they also reinforce thinking and writing skills.

I definitely recommend this as a good investment in your child's science education!

Thank you for this recommendation - I will defintley look into this as I've been thinking a lot about what I want to do or my son's highschool science years.

Hi Cindy,
Thanks for your comment. :o)
Looks like you have a lot of great resources here. I just copied and pasted a bunch of your photography activities into a list of goals for one of my daughters to complete before graduation. She is happy to see something fun included!

That looks like so much fun. I bet the children look forward to going to the mailbox and getting the kits. It sounds like a fun surprise awaits them each month.

It looks as though many of us are slacking in blogging. Good to hear about the science kits, I used a similar service for activities for my after school child care kids many years ago, it was so handy to have something regularly delivered. I'll have to check this out.
Things here are changing, I have to say that because they certainly aren't quieting down! I thought they would after the wedding--which was beautiful--but instead, we are just shifting gears. A whole new year, for school, for Sunday school(I have a new class), for work, life is just too busy.
I'll try to continue to keep up.
((hugs))
