The Magic School Bus Attracted to Magnificent Magnets Science Kit Review & Giveaway

Even though Kaelyn does not start school until this coming fall, I still like to provide many educational experiences for her right at home. She loves to learn, explore and discover...which is why I'm always on the lookout for new activities we can do together. That's why I was thrilled to learn about the latest at-home science kit from The Young Scientists Club!

A mother of five and former Harvard-trained biologist started The Young Scientists Club. Esther Novis wanted a summer science camp for her then 5 year old son and news spread quickly. Friends from all over wanted to duplicate her concept and the idea for The Young Scientists Club was born.

I have always been fascinated with Science, especially when it's made to be fun. Having taught several different ages, I know kids are the same way! They love science experiments...especially those that involve magnets! There's just something fascinating about them (even for adults!). The latest at-home science kit from The Young Scientists Club explores how magnets work through hands-on experiments. When I learned of the Attracted to Magnificient Magnets Kit, I was very interested in learning more and couldn't wait to review it with Kaelyn.

This science kit is in The Magic School bus line of kits, so not only do kids learn and explore magnets, but they do so with the well-known, kooky Ms. Frizzle! Students are taken on a wild ride learning all about magnets. Through a magnetic scavenger hunt, build a compass activity, making magnetic slime, designing magnetic faces, and more...children are introduced to magnets and shown just how exciting science can be!

When the kit arrived, I was happy to see that everything fit inside a nice sized box. It's a smaller size, so it's easy to store when we're not using it.

Of course, we couldn't wait to check out everything inside! This magnified kit includes a colorful poster with a racing track, game board, and experiment diagrams. Everything is included...right down to the paperclips and straw! This is great for parents who want educational, fun activities on hand to do with their kids...especially with summer nearing!

There was also an easy to follow booklet with each experiment laid out in detail. It made it easy for me to get the supplies ready to go. We followed each step and had a blast learning more about magnets.

One of the first experiments asked kids to explore which metals stick to magnets. Before I could even explain the activity, Kaelyn and Kaden were already busy doing just that. The moment those magnets were in their hands, they were excited to see everything they might stick to in our house. It was a simple, yet fun and educational activity for us all!

She was excited when the magnets would attract to something!

Since receiving the kit we've been able to try out several of the activities, including one that reminded us a lot of a Magna Doodle toy. We took the iron filings included in the kit and with a magnet, moved them around to make hair, beards, etc on the faces on the poster. It was a silly and fun time! :)

Kaelyn and Kaden also enjoyed learning more about which pole of one magnet attracted to the North pole of another magnet.

I have been thrilled with this science kit! It has been super fun and very educational. The kit includes many experiments and provides discussion questions as well! It's not only fun for parents to do with their school-age children (recommended for 5+), but also would be a fantastic addition to any homeschool or classroom!! Kids will love the fun experiments Ms. Frizzle takes them on!
