Spy Gadgets using light, magnets, vibrations, projectile motion and other design elements are all around us, so in this camp we are imagining what problems we can solve with everyday tools.

Girls love science! Let's inspire them now, and ...

Girls are the future for our entire world. They need frequent and regular engagement with hands-on science that encourages their brilliance, creativity, and ability to innovate, at an early age (2-5). It’s never too late for science, but really, our system actually disables their interest by the 5th grade and we need to do more to give them the opportunities that they deserve.

Girls love science! Let's inspire them now, and forever, to build a better world for us.

Why is syrup so thick (viscous) when it is cold?

Exploring the thickness of liquids (viscosity) is so much fun at Kids Science Labs, and in this post we share part of the joy of what occurred when we introduced a Slime Day of Camp at KSL.

How to Get Kids Excited about Science Summer Camps in Chicago?

Summer break is approaching, and there are so many choices. As parents, we want to give our kids the best opportunities to explore professional careers in medicine, engineering, science, and the arts, so STEAM camps make a lot of sense for Summer Camps in Chicago.

Do we have to wait until high school to help kids master Chemistry? .

The short answer is No. Chemistry is just simply understanding the relationship between materials, by understanding their properties. Even toddlers do chemistry, and in our Summer Camps in Chicago and Seattle STEM Camp, we are preparing kids for the future.

Chemistry doesn’t always make a mess, it cleans them too! Some things mix and some things don’t. Soap is a surfactant that helps things mix and it is the superhero that helps us clean. Ironically, there are literally over 1,000 types of soap, each that has its own features from thickness to order and grease fighting ability. In this camp, we explored the results and outcomes of hands-on science, by mixing and creating our own unique soaps, designed to meet the needs of rugged kids everywhere! Soap is a chemistry innovation for everyone!

In inspiring kids to think about how chemistry is used in our daily activities, our students investigated:

  • the key purpose of soap, and how surfactants like soap allow otherwise immiscible liquids like oils and water to mix

  • why one soap solution (laundry detergent) does not work as a hand soap, because they have very different properties

  • why both hand sanitizer and soap kill germs, but only one of them actually has the power to clean and separate things from the surfaces of our skin

  • how the selection of different ingredients can drastically modify the features of any liquid or bar soap

We love hands-on science, design, and innovation at Kids Science Labs and encourage every member of our community to take advantage of your member benefits, including discounts on future parties and camps, exclusive content, and becoming part of KSL Academy.
