The aim of Science Kids is to provide educational resources for teachers and parents that help make science fun and engaging for kids, taking important concepts and putting them into a form that kids can not only understand but also enjoy.

Inspiring an interest in science at a young age can help kids grow up with the tools needed to form questions about the world around them and make decisions based on their own reasoning.

Fun activities, facts, projects and experiments can be the first step in fostering a desire amongst kids to learn more about science and technology, subjects that have practical applications in both careers and everyday life.
