Three Layers of Skin, Epidermis, Dermis, and ...

We all know the heart is important, so in our awesome STEM Camps for kids, we explore the intersection between drug delivery systems, blood, and heart circulation to better relate to kids real questions about how the body really works.

Injuries happen and its our responsibility @ Kids Science Labs to engage kids to understand the techniques and methods we can use to treat our minor injuries. Medical School starts now @KSL as we explore kids curiousity around Emergency Medical Services, including innovating our own absorbent and water resistant bandaids from scratch!

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.

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

sports injuries

Why do some volleyball players wear a walking boot, when they injure their feet?

Athletes push their bodies, move a lot, and impacts, fractures, and over extensions of joints may occur. Injuries are a part of life and even more expected for athletes who spend so much time moving, practicing, and playing games. We want kids to enable kids to explore How Stuff Works with regard to games, and since most games involve some form of lever (arm, leg, stick, racquet) and some form of projectile (ball, dart), we are using hands-on science to better understand sports medicine and both minor and major injuries.

To build community today around the impact of sports injuries and how medicine works to prevent and repair the challenges of competing, we:

  • listened to kids share their personal “sports injury” stories, so we could also see that all of us get scrapes and bruises, and a smaller group of is may get more serious injuries that require a split, cast, or at least receiving urgent care from our parents or a medical professional.

  • Evaluated x-rays of healthy bones and some images of minor fractures, or breaks, as we discussed how doctors treat our injuries

  • Explored why ice packs help, and designed some innovative tools to aid our knowledge of how to prevent more serious injuries

To build additional confidence with How Sports Medicine Works, we encourage you to watch this How It’s Made video all about the science of bandaids.

Please don’t forget your INNOVATION BOX, which is customized by your child every Wednesday at Kids Science Labs, to enable at home science and create new neuroscience pathways that increase the fun and build real confidence with hands-on science. ….
