Description
 
 
This mixed-media curriculum offers children the opportunity explore science through creative and interesting experiments while enhancing their reading, writing, and mathematics skills. Each kit contains several experiments and takes approximately one hour to complete (although there are some long-term projects such as growing beans and measuring rainfall). The kits cover topics ranging from batteries and fossils to the human body and volcanoes. Each kit is delivered to your home on the 1st and/or 15th of each month including all the instructions and materials needed for the experiments except for common recyclable and household products (i.e., plastic bottles, jars, baking soda, vinegar, etc.). In addition to the kit, the child also has access to the online club. When a child enters the club, they can click on any kit icon to obtain further information on the science topic studied.

The kits are great for the younger pg child, but since the kits only go up to the 6th grade, they do not last for long. I have been able to use the kits as a jumping off place to further my child's interest in science topics.
