Learning Science Through Play
As you know, learning new skills and knowledge through play is one of the most powerful ways for a child to gain and retain knowledge.Combined with science, this can really give your kiddo a head-start in school as science is a necessary and valuable subject for your children to have a firm grasp on. Not only does it teach factual and logical thinking, it is also important for teaching children to think in terms of cause and effect for the things they do in their daily life.
There are science kits that are geared to hold the interest of both boys and girls. A terrific science kit for either is the Blood, Bones and Body Bits Science kit that is based on the extremely popular Horrible Science series of books published by Scholastic. There is a 32-page Top Secret Lab Notebook and is packed full of awesome experiments guaranteed to make you feel a little squeamish. Your kids can create a bulging bag of brains, squirt blood through a heart and make a bottom burp machine. This is all about cause and effect in a very unique way!
Girls will adore the The Ultimate Spa and Perfume Kit which includes everything needed to create a complete spa experience. Your child will learn the necessary ingredients for creating bath oils, oatmeal soap, foaming baths, bath balms, and more. She will also be able to blend 5 different kinds of perfume.
Another popular way to learn about science, also brought to you by Horrible Science is the Crazy Balloon racers. This fun kit creates two balloon racing cars and lets your kids learn about idle inertia and the power of propulsion, how it's created and how to guess what will happen.
With the colder winter months fast approaching, your kids will be spending more time indoors, give them activities that will expand their minds and they'll be winners in the classroom!
