You remember that old Thomas Dolby tune “She Blinded me with Science?” I always loved that tune. And I love Science. And with a son who loves it to, I think the Stepping into Science Kit from Maker Shed is a great way to start your kids on a lifetime journey of Scientific investigation. Okay, I stole that from the Maker blog post about it. But it’s true. This toy is great for kids to learn how the world really works scientifically. Here’s the skinny …
Stepping into Science comes with 25 fun experiments in five disciplines … nature, physics, chemistry, air and water. With a guidebook that’s nearly 50 pages of experiments, kids learn step by step the fundamentals of the scientific method by growing plants to learn seed propagation, making sun dials, how static electricity works, building a barometer to study air pressure, learning Bernoulli’s Principle from aking paper airplanes, experimenting with evaporation, studying the structure of bubbles, powering a boat with soap, and even making a balloon inflate itself. Stepping into Science introduces kids to a much larger world in a way that is both interesting and fun.
Cost is $35, for ages 5 and up and will be perfect for keeping kids busy over the summer.
