Young Scientist Club- Magic School Bus Lab #Giveaway

My kids love science. I am so thankful for that. But I also know that it's something I need to nurture. I need to keep them engaged. Interested. I know that it's all too often that kids grow up quick, the crowd moves one way. Interests change. Shift. As a parent I want to guide and lead them to pursuits that are wholesome and educational. I know it won't always be as easy as when they are younger. But I'm determined to build a foundation that can be built upon. One fun way to keep them engaged and interested is experiments, reading, TV/DVD. Yes, TV shows like Magic School Bus. The books are awesome, including the chapter books.
When I was asked do a review on a Young Scientist Club I didn't think twice. If you haven't heard about the Young Scientist Club let me fill you in a little.
The Young Scientist Club is an award winning company that makes science kits for kids. The kits are educational and age appropriate for young scientists. With easy instructions, fun tools, and hands on activities there is something for everyone. Read more about the Young Scientist Club on their website.

We chose the Weather Lab to review,  I purchased the World Of Germs Kit not too long ago also! We love these kits! 

Here's what's included in the Weather Lab. I think this picture is a little more detailed than mine up top. Isn't the bus awesome? It's perfect for storing everything. Although our weather station is on our porch right now.  Just today I was asking the girls what they wanted to do and Piglet said "let's do another experiment!" The cool thing is, weather changes. It can be recorded and researched over and over. Even Pixie, who's 4 was able to help out. She helped us put the weather station together. Making the compass, simple as it is, was fun. The girls took turns spinning it and watching it point north again. 

Setting up is always fun! The girls took turns checking out the tools. Figuring how each one worked, what it did. The cards were very clear on what each instrument was, and it's purpose.

 Checking the temperature.

 It was a gorgeous day. Not a drop of rain, which was a little disappointing to my young scientist who kept going out to check for changes in the weather. To see if the wind had picked up at all.

Every body had to check it out for themselves. (They are in bathing suits because I kept them out most of the day, painting outside, experiments, water fights. You know summer stuff.)

The girls got a kick out of the condensation on my camera lens when we went from inside the house to outside...

Some experiments and activities were done inside. Like making rain.

Then one day we had a storm. (We did take some elements of our weather station inside)

See? This is a cell phone picture. But we had gone swimming and it was pouring after. But that was awesome news for recording how much rain we got. So we got home and checked the weather station-

Such a fun kit!
