The Little Scientists "hands-on" approach to teaching and learning was created to achieve two goals: to instill in children a passion for the exciting world of science and to help children develop specific scientific skills that will enable them to enjoy a lifetime of learning. We now have over 200 "hands-on" science lessons in subjects such as: Why is the Sky Blue, Magical Magnets, the Science of Flying, Chemistry, Electromagnetism -- and we are continuing to develop new lessons.
