The Young Scientists Club has recently released some interesting science kits for kids. Called Science-Art Fusion, this new series of themed kits is sure to encourage your kids to explore science and have fun at the same time.
For the purpose of this review, I have received two different kits: Science- Art Fusion Sculptures and Science-Art Fusion Space. Before sharing my thoughts on these kits let me present you what you will find in them.
This kit on Sculptures is a member of our Science-Art Fusion series which combines art and science to inspire creativity while at the same time introducing basic scientific concepts. We have included a unique Science-Art Fusion poster that has the instructions for each project placed in a framed space which can be covered by taping a photo of your final art piece to create a Sculptures Art Gallery. Each kit comes with a customized art/science tray, introduction sheet, large 24 x 24 inch poster, and components to perform 10 exciting experiments and activities such as creating an animal track, constructing a DNA model, making an atom sculpture, growing salt sculptures, designing a colored ice sculpture, shaping a foil shadow sculpture, and more. Embark on an exciting Science-Art Fusion Sculpture adventure.
Science-Art Fusion Space
This kit on Space is a member of our Science-Art Fusion series which combines art and science to inspire creativity while at the same time introducing basic scientific concepts. We have included a unique Science-Art Fusion poster that has the instructions for each project placed in a framed space which can be covered by taping a photo of your final art piece to create a Space Art Gallery. Each kit comes with a customized art/science tray, introduction sheet, large 24 x 24 inch poster, and components to perform 10 exciting experiments and activities such as making gravity art, building a solar system, creating centrifugal art, performing planet Earth chromatography, drawing constellations, constructing a space rocket, and more.

My Thoughts
I like the idea of combining art and science together because often these are both subjects that can cause homeschool moms to stress a bit. Each kit contained all the things that is needed to do all the experiments. If something is not included like for example the play dough, you would find a recipe to make your own at home. In the Science-Art Fusion Space, you will be able to do the following activities: Solar System Model, CentriPETAL Art, Constellations, Orbits in Space, Gravity Art, Space Rocket, CentriFUGAL Art, Solar System Orbits, Planet Earth Chromatography, and Phases of the Moon. In the Science-Art Fusion Sculptures your kids will be able to color ice sculptures, do a molecule sculptures, make a DNA model, create numerous sculptures like a red ant sculpture, a salt sculpture, some animal tracks sculpture, an airplane sculpture, a shadow sculpture as well as a floating sculpture.
In all there are plenty of activities within he two sets I have received. However, my kids are age 8 and up. When I received the boxes, I was personally a bit disappointed of how simplistic the experiments were for my kids. But thinking about it more, I can see that they would be perfect for grades kindergarten to 2 in order to explore a variety of things on a specific subject.
On another note, I personally dislike the huge poster as I find it too big to properly have the instructions of an activity on hand. I would suggest that each experiment be explained on cue cards for the parents to have when making the experiment right. It would be a quick reference to have in a way and so much easier to deal with than the big poster.
Nevertheless for younger kids in your family these kits are perfect to explore science during the summer time.
The Young Scientists Club Science-Art Fusion Kits are available for purchase online on their site or on amazon.com. Amazon.ca do not have all the kits on their site.
