Sid the Science Kid Science Kits

The Sid the Science Kid How do Plants Grow Kit includes 3 pots, 3 soil pellets, seeds and a little shovel. It also includes a journal so kids can record their observations. 

The kit also includes instructions for 6 science experiments which you can do with your kids and learn all about how plants grow and about dirt (kids love dirt!) Encourage your kids to ask questions. I'm afraid I've forgotten a lot of the biology I learned at school so I get to learn along with the kids. 

The Sid the Science Kid Why Are Wheels Round? kit is a great set. Kids carry out experiments to learn about movement, friction and momentum. And they get to make a lovely wooden toy car. 

The set also includes 24 Sid the Science Kid stickers. 

The Sid the Science Kids Why Do I need A Jacket? kit teaches kids all about the weather - sun, rain, temperature and the sun. 

It includes an outdoor thermometer, a rain gauge, UV beads, 2 cords and a 24-page Journal. It also includes a set of experiments to learn all about the weather. 

As a parent who understands what the scientific method and the hard work of scientists have achieved, I'm really greatful for a show like Sid the Science kid. Young children really are sponges and can often surprise us with how much they can understand if they are interested and entertained. 

I really want to do lots of science with my kids at home, but I'm afraid I seem to have forgotten a lot of what I once new about biology, physics and chemistry. It does come back if I start to look into it so I'm looking forward to rediscovering science with my kids. 

Kits like these are a great starting place. I know the experiments are age appropriate and scientifically accurate. They make great gifts for young kids too. My kids have plenty of toys, and a gift like this is always appreciated.
