Every child should learn science – not only are science projects fun, they also offer numerous other benefits to children:

Science involves a lot of communication with other people.
Science develops patience and perseverance in kids.
It can help kids form a healthy dose of scepticism.
Science teaches kids about the world around them.
Science can spark in kids’ minds that they, too, can help solve the world’s big problems.

Science careers are also on the increase so it is advantageous to nurture a healthy interest in science in our children…
