littleWMN Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 My kids are very interested in hands-on science. My husband has suggested us getting a curriculum that mails science kits once or twice a month. I've read about them on here before but can't remember the names (or anything about them). Suggestions, reviews? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkateLeft Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Is this what you're looking for? Young Scientist Club We used it YEARS ago, when it was just being run out of someone's house. The printed materials were produced using an ink jet printer and the included items were the cheapest quality available. Even so, my kids loved the kits. The experiments were hit or miss. I bought one of the newer kits last year, and the quality has improved a lot. I think there are a couple of other companies who do something similar, but I'm blanking on the names.

TechWife Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Years ago we got kits from The Young Scientists Club. I remember them having very good, step by step instructions. The instructions & supplies come in the kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukeswife Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Just a tip if you go with Young Scientist kits, you can actually get them cheaper via Amazon in bundles instead of ordering them once/twice a month from YSC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kristavws Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Not something they mail to you every month, but we have REALLY enjoyed the Science in a Nutshell Kits - http://www.delta-education.com/siansplash.aspx?subID=5&menuID=17 .
