Yellow Scope sent me there Foundation Chemistry: Beakers & Bubbles for this review.
I have a lot of Girls and I was excited to find out about Yellow Scope which helps girls embrace Science. I can’t wait to show my niece Payton my Foundation Chemistry: Beakers & Bubbles.
I can’t wait to see what Science projects her and Charlie come up with. Then once she has had a chance to check out the kit I want to show it to my other niece Lily and my nephew Jason.
The Foundation Chemistry: Beakers & Bubbles is perfect for any Girl Homeschooling but I could see schools using these kits as well. Or Church’s and Libraries who want to foster girls in Science.
I like knowing inside the kit comes a detailed lab notebook which outlines dozens of colorful experiments. Allowing our daughters hours and hours of hands on fun exploring chemical reactions, molecular motion, and temperature.
If you remember the Chemistry Kits we had as a child the Foundation Chemistry: Beakers & Bubbles is an updated take on the classic Chemistry kit! Even though this is geared toward Girls I could see boys wanting to try the kit out as well.
I like that the Foundation Chemistry: Beakers & Bubbles comes in a kit that we could take with us to the Park or even outside to complete the Experiments.
Charlie said we could host a Science Party for Lily’s Birthday and use the items in this kit and just purchase extra Goggles for the other participants to keep the learning going during the Summer.
I will be back soon to show you the Experiments my nieces and I do together. It’s just with Covid we haven’t been able to get together the way we used to.
In the meantime Charlie and I’ve been reading the notebook and planning which Experiments Charlie can do in his own classroom once our Homeschool is through with Summer Break.
As I begin reading the book and it talked about the instruments I thought we would have to purchase them but there all in the kit. As we continued to read I made a not of the words Charlie didn’t know or that he stumbled on and made notes to add them to our Spelling List this year.
Charlie printed out the Lab Rules for Lily and Payton on bright colored Paper to add to there Science Notebooks Charlie made them in Art Class. As I watched Charlie I saw he had even made a notebook for himself. I was so proud of him for doing this and not having to remind him to make one for himself.
Charlie and I read the page on What is Chemistry and before I read the answers I asked Charlie what is a Atom, what is a Molecule this way I would know what he knew and what Charlie needed to learn.
Charlie has created a Science Lab inside our classroom and has everything set up for the Girls on one side of the desk. On the other side he sat a Science Lab up for him and Jason.
Once we finished looking through the workbook and going over the Supply List for each of the experiments Charlie and I looked through the website and Charlie said he would like to get Paper Chromatography: The Art & Science of Color for Lily for Christmas.
About:
In elementary school, kids begin dreaming of what they want to be when they group up. An Astronaut, doctor and movie star are all common answers from both boys and girls, but as they get older their interests begin to shift.
Boys remain interested in STEM careers such as becoming a Scientist, but girls have started to lose confidence and interest STEM. A new Pew Research study revealed that while women make up a majority of health-related jobs, they remain severely underrepresented in physical Science jobs.
Scientists and Moms, Marcy Colledge, PhD and Kelly McCollum, MPH, have created Yellow Scope Science kits for girls to help combat the gender-gap in the Science field.
Their kits, such as the Foundation Chemistry: Beakers & Bubbles kit gives girls a hands-on learning experience and helps them become a Chemist, not just play one.
The kit includes everything they need to replicate multiple experiments, a lab notebook, beakers, safety goggles, pencils and items they need to discover chemical reactions such as Citric Acid, Dyes, Sodium Bicarbonate, etc.
