Bring Out the Genius in Your Child: The Young Scientists Club

I've always known my 5 year old had an interest in science, he loves to inspect things, ask questions, take things apart, TRY to put them back together, solve problems, etc. So, when I was introduced to The Young Scientists Club, I knew it was right up his alley. However, I didn't know it would bring out the genius in him! With 2 friends over for a playdate, I figured it would be fun to try out one of their many fantastic kits. Volcano Madness seemed like a good place to start. The directions are very clear, the supplies are all included (except the vinegar), and the instruction guide makes it easy for anyone to teach the concept at hand. The volcano kit is so thorough. It comes with a little pumice stone to represent the "volcanic" rock. The first part the the experiment asks "Do you think the stone will sink or float?" The three boys had split opinions, but my son said, "No mom it WILL float." So, we put it in the water and it sure did. So, I then asked the boys why they thought it was floating. The first answer, "It's gray." The second answer, "It has little holes in it." My son's answer, "Because the water is heavier than the rock." So, I look at the "teacher" guide and sure enough, he was right. Since he can't read, I know he didn't see the answer. I was stunned! When I asked him how he knew that, he said, "I just thought about it mom." WOW! Anyhow, the lesson ended with a bang, literally. The boys love to watch the lava erupt and learned some cool things along the way. The Volcano Madness kit is one of the eight Adventure Science Kits. With everything from bubbles to magnets to water and weather, you will find something great to explore.
