We're all about kids falling in love with science.  You see, science is fun and interesting.  It doesn't have to be hard, intimidating, or boring.  Too many people assume the worst about science, so kids hear the "bad" things about science, and shy away from it.  But science education is CRITICAL to all of us. Read why!  But most elementary school teachers need help with science.  Read why!

So we make science something kids look forward to.  Its fun, but they really remember what we teach them, and we teach them what they'll be tested on when the state standardized tests come.  Of course, we don't tell the students that.  They just feel good that they know more and more about science, and they apply the science in their own lives.

A funny story.  The fifth graders went off to camp, and after a long day, they were HUNGRY.  But when they tasted the apple juice, YUK.  But they were hungry.  What to do?  Then one of them remembered the S is for science session about the senses, and an experiment they had done.  They remembered that much of our "taste" is actually smell.  They remembered that they couldn't tell jelly bellies apart with their nose pinched closed.  So the girls all pinched their noses, and drank the apple juice.  Hunger satiated, and bad taste avoided.  That's applied science.

In Junior High and High School, they'll get science.  If they approach it with a positive attitude, they'll be leagues ahead.  And they might just love it so much that they make a career out of it.  Then who knows.  Maybe your child will find the cure for cancer, or end our dependence on fossil fuels, or put men on Mars.  Hey, we need a lot of scientists hard at work, discovering new things to make our lives better.

We provide tools for teachers who teach science during the day to elementary school kids.  Our Plug and Play Elementary Level Science Lessons & Hands-on Kits are custom filmed and made by Mrs. S, a master science teacher.  In each lesson, students see Mrs. S teach a lesson, then Mrs. S walks the teacher and their students through the hands on portion utilizing the kit supplied by us.  There is no preparation for teachers at all -- just play the video and open and pass out the contents in the hands-on box.  All instructions needed are shown on the video and are simple to follow. There is also vocabulary section, an assessment, and a review on each video. For a quick video orientation and more about this, click here.

This all started when Mrs. S did a science party for her son's fifth birthday.  We've been at this for a while.  Read more about our history.  To learn more about Mrs. S's background and the leadership at S is for Science, click here.

We also offer Family Science Night and Family Engineering Night in the San Francisco Bay Area.  For more information and a quick video about this, click here.
