There are some subjects that it is easy to get kids
interested in, such as music, drama and art. But when it comes to ‘stuffy’
subjects such as science, many children feel that it is best left in the
classroom. EDU Science feels differently, and tries to open up some of the
magic of science with their science kits and toys, to make it more interesting
to children, and teach them a little something without them even knowing they
are being taught!
Magic is a big deal with children at the moment. With
the success of Harry Potter, every kid wants to learn how to do spells and make
their own potions, and EDU Science capitalises on this by trying to bring some
of the more ‘magical’ looking experiments to life so that children can see just
how interesting science can really be if it is taught correctly. Doing
experiments is better than reading about them, but with EDU Science kits, you
will need to learn the basics behind what you are doing to be in with a chance
of making the experiment work, and this is how kids are taught, but with the
pay off of enjoying a really interesting experiment at the end of it all.
The EDU Science Do and Discover Kit - Test Tube Magic is
one such experiment which shows just how interesting and exciting science
experiments can get. The kit features over 25 activities, as well as 5 featured
experiments, which include Magic Ink and the really magical Little Lava Lamp.
The kit comes with everything a child could need to get their experiments
going, as well as full instructions to teach as they play and learn.
A slightly different set, which may be more suited to
kids with an eye for solving crimes and mysteries, the EDU Science CSI
Fingerprint Analysis Kit allows kids to find and analyse fingerprints just like
the investigators on CSI. The kit features 8 experiments as well as detailed
instructions which will allow any child to learn how to fingerprint and how to
work out whose fingerprints are whose in the family and amongst their friends.
Because the kit has a crime and mystery element to it, learning how to analyse
fingerprints becomes more than just looking for patterns, but about solving
mysteries, making the whole experience more exciting for kids of all ages.
Finally, for those with an interest in the solar system,
the EDU Science Glow in the Dark Milky Way System is a complete map of the
galaxy in glow in the dark stars and swirls, allowing children to discover what
lies above the earth everytime they get into bed. On top of this it looks great
and can make for exciting bedtimes with learning attached in such a way that
kids will enjoy finding out more about the solar system and want to learn more.
