Best Gifts for Kids Who Love Science

You can start with this SC-100 kit which is aimed at your younger students.

I have the 300 kit that I purchased for my oldest when he was in the 3rd grade. It’s still going strong and very durable.

I’m considering getting the upgrade – Snap Circuits converter kit from 300 to 750 which adds more components and new projects. Isn’t that great, it grows with your child. If you can’t afford the higher-level kits then you can upgrade later if they really love it.

I think it’s worth it if you have older children to spend a little extra money for a good quality microscope like this.

You can’t have a microscope without slides. So grab a set and pair it with a microscope.

We just got the roller coaster set and my 8 year old put it together himself. He feels really proud of his accomplishment.

Lego also has the Mindstorms robotic sets which are programmable, we’re drooling over these and hoping one day to be able to play with these.

For your little one who is a bug lover then you definitely want a butterfly kit.

Your child will enjoy watching this award-winning science adventure series.

If you have a Blu-ray player or a Playstation then I suggest the Planet Earth series, they are really well done and explore all areas of our earth. This has my son's favorite documentary.

Janice Van Cleave’s Chemistry for Every Kid along with all of her books are great for experiments. She has books for physics and biology as well as those for younger learners as well.

You'll totally agree how awesome this encyclopedia is once you've read it, too.

Build your own weapons with Weapons of Mass Destruction, a handbook to create your own catapults and launchers. My son has built numerous projects from this book and they’ve worked wonderfully. He still has one of his earlier catapults.

Dinosaur lovers will love the Walking with Dinosaur series and they even came out with a movie.

The animals look so real, my daughter is not a fan of these movies, she says she hates them, probably because they look so realistic and scary.
