Kid Genius enables future science enrichment activities for kids with her awesome questions

t’s common for our teeth to be the shining star of our oral health, but it is our gums that can really steal the show. Our gums are the protectors of our teeth, keeping out bacteria from invading the parts of our teeth that are not exposed and insulating our teeth allows us to enjoy a cold milkshake without any discomfort – YUM! One of our kids was curious about why they had to brush their gums as well as their teeth, so we took Jasmine’s question about science and turned it into science classes that kids love at KSL.

• Kids are designing their own models of gums and teeth out of everyday materials to evaluate how different models stack up when we’re chewing up foods like carrots and crackers. Seeing what happens when our “teeth” are crunchin’ is providing real-world context for how gums provide stability to our teeth!

• By creating the intense conditions that happen all the time inside of our mouths, like drinking hot chocolate or brushing our teeth with toothpaste, kids are exploring the other essential functions of gums. Just like real gums, kids’ models perform important jobs, such as naturally sealing teeth to protect them from bacterial invasions, as well as insulating our teeth’s pain receptors from extreme temperatures.

Kids are curious. It is our responsibility at Kids Science Labs to engage them and help their discovery

Wondering why can change the World. We believe this is true for scientists ages 2 to 100 yrs old, and our teaching faculty are passionate about inspiring kids of all ages to learn through the most engaging hands-on science and STEAM program available in the U.S.

Every class that we design at Kids Science Labs begins with a fundamental question that is asked by kids everyday, and then hands-on science is used as a vehicle for engaging, discovering, and learning through actual experience, not just explanation. 

Kids Science Labs offers classes in creativity, problem solving, and hands-on science to PreK-8th Grade

Let's face it, technology is taking the world by storm, and it is firmly grounded in science and creative design thinking.  Our kids need more opportunities to learn and love science and more importantly they need to be able to tackle challenging problems with creativity and confidence.  Much has been said about the need for more STEM and STEAM programs.  The supporting argument is strong: the wave of future economic prosperity lies in a workforce that is well-versed in rising job markets like science, technology, engineering and math.

At KSL, we love problem solving, critical thinking, and creative design - so we offer year-round programming options. Kids are curious and they want to be engaged in understanding how things work and need an inspired environment to learn and develop the things that they are curious about. We are the leader in hands-on science and creative thinking, core skills for your children to succeed in a complex world.
