Make science projects fun with Scientific Explorer and Elmer’s *REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY*CLOSED with winner*

by

 

Each year parents are faced with the challenge of making science fun and engaging for children. As science fair season begins, frustrations may arise both at home and in the classroom as kids struggle to not only stay excited about science, but also create an innovative (and painless) science fair display.  To help with these challenges, Scientific Explorer and Elmer’s have partnered to show kids just how easy and fun science, and science fair presentations, should be.

I was lucky enough to be invited to review a Science Fair Prize Package.  Since Dre is now in middle school, we have started doing more projects then before.  I was very happy to do this review and let him decided which one he wanted. We were able to pick either the Lava Blasting Volcano Kit or the Mythbusters Weird World of Water kit.  Of Course Dre picked the Lava Blasting Volcano.

The kit Includes plaster, baking soda, citric acid, red food coloring, 1 measuring cup, 1 measuring spoon, 1 stir stick, 1 volcano mold top, 1 volcano mold base, 1 volcano stand, and activity guide.

Volcanoes are one of the most awesome forces found in nature.  When they erupt – watch out!  They can shoot rocks and gases miles into the air and their lava flows can outrace a speeding car.  Let’s try that at home!  In this kit, you’ll find everything you need to create an amazing volcanic blast.  You’ll cause your own eruption and watch the lava blow!  Plus you’ll learn some really cool science that explains how volcanoes form and why they explode. Volcano can erupt up to 10 times!

 

He was very excited about doing this review. He would come home daily and ask if it had arrived.  When it got here, I had to make him wait till the weekend to get started.  I wanted to also have time to watch him do it.  The weekend finally came and even though he had his cousin over he was still asking when he could do it!  I decided that, I might as well let him do it now or he would drive me crazy till I did.   OFF to the kitchen table we went.  The Set up was pretty simple but we had to wait a full 24 hours for the mold to set.  Dre wasn’t very happy about waiting any longer but the next day he seemed to have got over it when we was able to finish the project.  We were all impressed with the quality of product and will be buying more of these kits.  Not only are these  fun science projects they are also great activities for the whole family to do.

I haven’t let him use the Elmer’s Foam Board or the Elmer’s Project Popperz ® accessories yet. We are going to use those after spring break for his school science project!  I had to hide them from my girls because they wanted them really bad!

Now the best part is One lucky winner will win the same prize pack!!

This includes:

The Scientific Explorer’s Lava Blasting Volcano Kit,

Elmer’s Foam Board – perfect for showcasing a science fair project

Elmer’s Project Popperz ® accessories – cool letters, shapes, borders and stencils to make your project stand out!
