About the ScientificKids™ Program
The ScientificKids™ program involves study of dozens of organisms. All units involve the use of stereoscopes and magnifying glasses to give your child an up close view of the world.
ScientificKids™ specimens of study include:
Dandelions, leaves, tree branches, seeds, flowers, bees, ladybugs, crickets, butterflies, ants, flies, worms, snails, snake skins, owl pellets, mealworms, mice, turtles, frogs, grasshoppers, beans, sunflowers, hermit crabs, mushrooms, pillbugs, praying mantis, venus fly traps, aloe vera plants, and much more!
There is a maximum of three children per stereoscope (or one magnifying glass per child) to give your child ample time for examining his/her specimens. During the first ScientificKids™ class, your child will be taught how to use and care for the stereoscope. Read more about the class structure.
