Every kid should understand how the human body works. They should have an appreciation of biology and the laws of nature. They should understand the properties of various elements and chemicals and the simple laws of physics. Of course, kids learn this in school, but in order to keep their interest in science going, you might want to consider buying them additional science kits or a scientist set. These kits truly make learning fun. A good science kit will provide your child with plenty of hands on activities and experiments that will make science seem like a cool adventure rather than a boring school subject.
Science should even be cool for girls. A lot of girls shy away from science without realizing that chemistry and technology is the basis for many of the products they use on a daily basis - like lip gloss, cosmetics, cell phones and texting. A good science kit can help girls (and boys) realize that a lot of the day to day products they take for granted were created by scientists.
If you're looking to get your daughter interested in science, consider some of the science in box products by the Scientific Explorer. These kits are developed in cooperation with notable universities and scientists around the country and provide clear and easy instructions on how to use them - plus an explanation of the science behind them.
Best of all, the manufacturer has several great kits which are geared towards girls. If you have a daughter who longs for a spa day, then get her the Spa Science Kit - she'll get to make her own spa treatments by mixing (safe) chemical and ingredients. There are even bottles and labels so she can make her own products to give (or sell) to friends and family. The Spa Science Kit is super hands on and super fun and will make your daughter think in a whole different way about what is in her bottle of shampoo.
Of course, just because she's a girl, doesn't mean your daughter would only be interested in spa science - and that's what's great about the variety of science kits for kids that are on the market today. Your child might be interested in disgusting science - like the Disgusting Anatomy Brain or Disgusting Anatomy Heart kit, also from Scientific Explorer. Or perhaps your kids are interested in things that go boom and might want to check out a rocket building kit.
If your child is computer savvy or a tinkerer there are other great kits - like electricity kits and robot building kits that combine building and computer skills. These kits are a lot of fun and their hands-on nature allows kids to figure out things and build something they can keep.
Of course if your kids are into nature, there are many science kits that will help stoke their excitement with the natural world, from rock and gem stone kits, to ant farms, to butterfly habitats.
The world really is the limit with all of the high quality science kits that are out on the market today. By incorporating fun science projects into your kids life you will spark intellectual curiosity and continual thirst for knowledge - as well as reinforce basic and advance science principles.
You can find kids science kits online through a basic internet search. Be sure to read consumer reviews of the products before buying to make sure that the science kit is age appropriate and correctly geared towards your child's interests.
