Penworthy STEAM-to-Go Spotlight: Examine Science & Nature

Full disclosure: this kit is fun for kids from PK to 99+ (we may have had too much fun playing with this kit when "researching" it for this review)! The Examine Science and Nature STEAM-to-Go kit from Penworthy is just the thing for budding naturalists, biologists, and lovers of nature. Unzip the cloth-handled vinyl bag to find a mini-microscope, prepared specimen slides, the BrainBox Science & Nature trivia game, and the Penworthy Prebound Book, “Smithsonian 10 Minute Science Experiments”. Now the fun begins.

The mini-microscope is only 4” tall, perfect for slipping into a backpack and heading out for a day in nature. It is accompanied by a box of mounted specimen slides, including snake and fish scales, grasshopper parts, algae, mushroom gills, and other fun things kids can search for on a nature walk. They’ll get a kick out of comparing what things look like under the microscope versus live.

Back at home, the BrainBox game, Science & Nature, is a fun way to learn new things about nature and stump friends with science knowledge.  Each card features facts and images on one side and questions about them on the other.  Choose a card, turn over the included sand timer, and try to memorize as much as you can about the side with facts and pictures before the sand runs out. Then roll the die (also included) and try to answer the corresponding question. The game can be played solo or with friends and would be a great take-along on a family car trip.

“Smithsonian 10 Minute Science Experiments” lets kids have fun learning science using household items. There’s even an experiment detailing how to extract the DNA of a strawberry that kids could then examine not only with their eyes but can put under the microscope to see more intricate details. They’ll also learn how to use a chemical reaction to clean old, grubby pennies and make a musical instrument that really plays, using nothing more than a couple of straws and a pair of scissors!

This kit is available exclusively from Penworthy and is guaranteed to add fun and value to your collection. Click here to purchase!
