Do you have any little budding scientists in your house? I say that if you have any young kids at home, then you most definitely have little scientists (spoken like a true science teacher, right?! 😉 )! So, there is a company you should know about–The Young Scientists Club! 
As a former science teacher, I LOVE finding companies that foster a love of science in kids. The Young Scientists Club has a simple mission: “to engage boys and girls around the world in an educational science adventure that lasts a lifetime”! That’s a mission statement I can get behind. To foster that love of science, they offer an array of services and products! Kits start as low as $14.99. There is even a monthly subscription service option (talk about a great gift idea for the science enthusiast) and a fabulous fundraising program! 
We recently got to try out one of their fabulous kits with a group of Big Brother’s little friends. It worked out perfectly as Big Brother actually had a “Magic School Bus Night” at his school last month. So, needless to say, we had a blast with the Grow Amazing Polymers Group Pack!
With this kit, your young scientists can grow super balls, snow, rainbow beads, crystal gels, and polymer flowers while learning about the importance and science of super-absorbent polymers. Polymers are always such fun with kids (even big kids tend to have fun with them)! How great would this be for a science birthday party, homeschool coop, or camp of some kind?!
Here is what our kit supplies looked like: 
Everything was very clearly labeled and the manuals (based on the Magic School Bus show) were great! With a kit like this, there are applications & learning extensions for many ages! Since our group was on the young end (ages 6 & under) for this kit, I chose two of the experiments to do with them. 
We started with the snow and everyone found it fascinating!! 🙂 If you’ve never gotten to play with the fake polymer snow, you have to check it out sometime–really fun stuff (even all the moms thought so)! The kids were SO interested. First we “grew” our snow and then we melted it! 
After all of our snow fun, we then started our red super balls! Every kiddo at our science-fun playdate got to take home their little super ball experiment to see what would happen. Big Brother thought it was most interesting when his red super ball seemed to resemble a large raspberry! 
Do you have a young scientist who would like to do some fun experiments like this? You can buy them at The Young Scientists Club or...WIN IT!!

Science puts the “fun” in fundraiser!…
If you’re a teacher, PTA/PTO member, fundraising chairperson, etc., you should take a look at the fundraiser program! The Young Scientists Club Presents Its Award-Winning Science Kits For Schools And Clubs To Sell With 20% Cash Back And Free Gifts.
With kit names like Sci-ology ($14.99), Microscope Lab ($39.99) and Attracted To Magnificent Magnets ($19.99) parents, grandparents and neighbors can give young children an exciting and educational peek into the world of science that’s age-appropriate, even at ages 4 or 5 years because you are never too young to discover the world around you or just your backyard. As part of a fundraising effort for non-profits, schools and groups, the science kit giver is rewarded twice — not only purchasing a great product but having cash donated back to a favorite cause.
Fundraisers simply follow these four steps:
1. Call 1-800-964-1320 and register to receive a code specifically for your group.
2. Work with The Young Scientists Club to personalize an email to spread the word of this great offer.
3. Invite parents, grandparents, and supporters to shop online using your school/club code. Since they place their order themselves, the group coordinator does not have to manage or collect orders or payments.
4. Anticipate the arrival of The Young Scientist Club shipment, brown shopping bags, and donation check!
So, definitely check that out if you’re in need of a fun fundraiser for an organization!

Even I as an adult enjoys Science for kids because it’s really fun and easy to understand!
As a science teacher, another favorite kit that my students and their parents love is the TickleMe Plant Kit. With it every child can grow a TickleMe Plant which will close its leaves and lower its branches when tickled. soooo cool Just search TickleMe Plant to see a video of a live plant and to get the greenhouse kit to grow your own
I love the fundraising and classroom aspect. My kids would love this. I think it would be fun to do more science at home.
Would love to be able to do more science experiments with my grand kids!
As a biochemist, I would LOVE to get my boys doing experiments at home! We do little ones right now, but a kit would be super fun!
My daughter loves science experiments! I love that its all put together, no running around trying to buy all the stuff you need.
We do Science Sundays at our house, since the public school science programming has been cut, this looks like a great project.
I love that it comes with all the pieces and what to do with them. I have bought kids in the past and the instructions where horrible. We ended up throwing away things we needed for other experiments because it wasn’t clear we were suppose to save the product after the initial experiment. My son was so upset when we couldn’t d all the projects.
Hands on experimenting!
My kids love this kind of stuff! We often do at home science experiments!
This would make an awesome and different gift this year!

Would be great to do with all my kids, even the teens, lol.

This is something my daughter and I could enjoy together. She loves to learn and is at a VERY curious age 🙂
I teach preschool and have been working on getting my B.S. in biotechnology. I have a real passion for science and I think the Young Scientists Club has a great mission. Every Friday is science day in my class because children gain so many valuable skills from science like observation, quantification, qualification, forming hypotheses and making predictions, and learning about the world around them. That being said, I would love to use this kit in my classroom.
I like that younger kids can enjoy it too and they get to learn new cool stuff.
Basics of science can be taught to any kid, any age!!
The fact that its the magic school bus makes it extra nice. My daughter loves the magic school bus.
educational, and encourages curiosity
This sounds like so much fun. My kids (and me) would love this!
I love science experiments, and this would be great for our homeschool!
Our boys LOVE to experiment! They are asking Santa for a microscope and this would be another wonderful hands on addition!!! Thank you!!!!
I like the The Young Scientists Club because my oldest son is a little scientist in the making and he loves experimenting!
