This kit will have your young scientist exploring the science side of STEM with engaging experiments and activities. Your child will learn about primary and secondary colors with Color Mixing Magic. Then, in States of Matter your young scientist will investigate the three most common states in our environment with four exciting experiments. Finally, with Silly Slime, we’ll learn why slime is delightfully bouncy, stretchy and sticky as your child mixes up their own batch of slime and explores its properties. This kit is more than hands-on...it’s hands in! Your child should be prepared to have fun and get messy. Recommended for ages: Experimenting with an adult ages 4-8 Experimenting under adult supervision, ages 8+ Kit Includes: pipette, color mixing tablets, color noodles, pipe cleaner, bottle of bubble solution and wand, blank greeting cards and envelopes, 3 colors powdered paint, glue, shaving cream, craft stick, 30ml measure cup, bowl with lid for storage, Color Mixing Magic Activity Guide, States of Matter Activity Guide, Silly Slime Activity Guide and more!

Slime and Catapults Recommended Ages: Working with an adult ages 8+. Working under adult supervision, ages 12+. Your child can have fun with two hands-on STEM topics...Slime and Catapults. In this DIY kit, your child will first investigate the chemical reaction that creates slime. Mix up your own batches of Glow, Silky and Floam Slimes as you discover why slime is delightfully bouncy, stretchy and gooey. Then, build three different catapults to examine how levers, energy, and Newton's Laws of Motion all work together as you fling ping-pong balls while practicing your launching and aiming skills. This kit is more than hands-on...it’s hands in!

Your child can join Science Explorers in a virtual laboratory as your child becomes a young chemist! We'll investigate the Periodic Table and learn about its families with fun and exciting experiments as we discover the science side of STEM. We will break some chemical bonds, get messy with polymers and much more. These classes are hands-on so be ready for a mess! Crazy Chemistry Kit contains an outline and much of the materials needed to complete this pre-recorded class. A 30-day link will be provided to access a private video on YouTube. Kit Includes: outline to indicate supplies needed for each experiment, blank Periodic Table, pH color chart, dropper and spoon, 30ml measuring cup, Magic Snow, purple cabbage extract, magnesium powder, vinegar and citric acid powder, baking soda, salt and rice, liquid starch and glue, iodine weakened with water, storage bowl with lid, shaving cream (travel size), nail, sand paper and more Supplies needed from home: internet access, crayons or color pencils, towel or paper towel for spills, pitcher, cups and bowls, scissors, plate, 10 pennies, old markers (optional), tray (optional to help contain spills), tape (optional), Tablet or a laptop/computer to view the pre-recorded class, a person who can be available to help with any technical or experiment difficulties, a non-carpet workspace, near a sink, that can get messy (kitchen table), sink and water WARNING--Items in this kit are for external use only.

Your child can join Science Explorers in a “virtual laboratory” as we explore three areas of STEM. First, they’ll discover the science side of STEM as we learn the difference between chemical and physical changes with sloppy, slimy, and messy experiments. Next, we’ll investigate technology as we learn if our hand is really quicker than the eye with various fun optical illusions. Then, we’ll discover engineering and math as we construct a marble roller coaster to learn about physics. This virtual class is filled with engaging experiments and activities.
