The STEM Explorers Superhero Science kit by Learning Resources is a 22-piece set, with a superhero twist, that gets kids excited about science. The guidebook features 10 hands-on experiments, that cover key physical science principles like magnetism, air pressure, static electricity, and hydrology.
The Superhero Science guidebook is comic-like, drawing kids in, while providing clear, step-by-step instructions. Each experiment is tied to a particular scientific property — Magnetic Marvel shows how the science of magnetism lets you replicate gravity-defying objects, Puffy Protection demonstrates how reduced air pressure can make things expand! By engaging with these themed activities, children explore important principles of physical science.
These hands-on experiments are a practical introduction to cause and effect, problem-solving, and prediction. By physically engaging with these concepts, children can see immediate results, which reinforces their understanding and keeps curiosity alive.
As children go through each experiment, they’re introduced to new vocabulary associated with scientific principles. They expand their word knowledge and use language to describe their observations, make predictions, and explain their reasoning, which builds both expressive language skills and critical thinking.
While a few common household items are needed to complete the experiments, the majority of the materials come ready-to-use, making it convenient and accessible for at-home learning. STEM Explorers Superhero Science is an exciting, interactive way to engage children to foundational science concepts while boosting their language and communication skills. The experiments encourage critical thinking, creativity, and hands-on learning, while supporting STEM education.
