Science For Kids

Chemists are kind of like detectives. They do a lot of research and conduct experiments to find out new information. If an idea has not been proven yet, a chemist will need to make an educated guess called a hypothesis. Kids will learn what a hypothesis is and how a hypothesis can become a theory. Fun music and engaging lyrics will have future chemists learning about making an educated guess.

Do you know what electricity is? Fun lyrics and engaging sound effects will teach young physicists that electricity is a kind of energy that gives us light, heat, and power. This fun audiobook will encourage kids to explore the wonders of electricity.

Kids will learn that scientists call the smallest part of anything an atom. Anything you see at all in the world that takes up space is made up of atoms. Fun music and engaging sound effects will teach young scientists about tiny particles called atoms.

Kids will learn that anything that takes up space is made of matter. A shirt is made of matter. A house is made of matter. A pet is made of matter. Fascinating lyrics and upbeat music will encourage kids to learn all about the concept of “matter!”

Turtles are amazing cold-blooded reptiles. In fact, they belong to one of the oldest reptile groups in the world. Some turtles are meat-eaters and some are plant eaters. Turtles are known for their shells, which are actually a part of their skeletons. A turtle’s shell helps protect it from predators. Did you know that a turtle cannot come out of its shell? Listen to this fun audiobook about turtles.

Fun music and engaging lyrics will help kids learn important terms used in the science of chemistry including: hypothesis, atoms, elements, compounds, mixtures, condensation and evaporation. Perhaps you will a member in the Future Chemists’ Club when you grow up. The occupation of a chemist is fascinating.

Kids will learn about the 3’Rs: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle in this upbeat audiobook about protecting our Earth. Reduce means to use less. Like turning off lights when you leave the room. Reuse means to use things over again. Like filling up a washable water bottle and using it over again. Recycle means for a used item to be remade. When you recycle plastic bottles, they can be melted down and made into new bottles or into something else. Fun music and engaging lyrics will have young scientists saying “Every Day is Earth Day!”

If you have a curious mind and like to make new discoveries, then I’m sure you like to conduct experiments. Experiments help scientists gather new information and learn interesting facts about what they are studying. Kids will love this fun audiobook about conducting experiments—of course, with adult supervision.

Did you know that water can be in the form of a liquid, solid, or gas? Kids will learn about evaporation and condensation in this fun, fact-filled audiobook, Water Is Like Magic.

The word “mammal” refers to a mother’s mammary gland, which is used to feed her babies milk. Most mammals are warm-blooded animals that give birth to their babies live, although there are some mammals that do lay eggs. Mammals have backbones and most mammals have hair. Did you know that you are a mammal? Catchy lyrics and a fun melody line will teach kids about mammals in this fabulous audiobook.

Do you like math and science? Do you like to conduct experiments in science class? If so, then you might want to become a chemist someday. What exactly is chemistry? Chemistry focuses on chemical substances and how they interact with each other. Kids will love this upbeat audiobook guaranteed to make them interesting in learning more about becoming a chemist someday.

The life cycle of a frog is very interesting. First, a frog will lay its eggs in water. The eggs are inside a jelly-like covering. Soon tadpoles begin to grow inside the eggs. They have a head, body, and tail. Tadpoles swim in the water feeding on tiny plants called algae. As a tadpole grows, it will develop hind legs and then front legs. Then a tadpole will develop lungs and go to the surface of the water to breathe. Now the tadpole looks more like a frog. It will climb out of the water to eat insects and worms. Listen to this fun, factual audiobook about the life cycle of a frog!

If you are fascinated with space, you might want to consider being an astronaut. An astronaut needs to study hard in school, be in good health, and work well with others.

Years ago, when astronauts needed to leave the spacecraft, they used the manned maneuvering unit (MMU). Even though this piece of equipment is no longer used, it is still very interesting.

Lions are meat-eating mammals that like to live in groups or families. A lion's family is called a “pride.” Usually there will be many females that live together along with their cubs, but only one male. Lions like to play and hunt together. Because they have a keen sense of hearing and sight, they often will hunt at night. Usually the females do the hunting. They work in groups to catch their prey. The male lion takes his share of the catch before the females and cubs get any food. Lions are known for their loud, ferocious roar.

Did you know that a rattlesnake’s rattle is made up of segments of keratin? These segments knock against each other to produce a buzzing or rattle-like sound. Rattlesnakes use their rattles to distract their prey or to warn a predator to stay away! Each time a rattlesnake sheds its skin, it adds another segment to their rattle. Have you ever wondered why snakes stick out their tongues? They use their tongues to pick up scents. As they move their tongues back inside their mouths, a special “taste-smell” organ helps them locate their next meal.

Did you know that zoology is the study of animals? So, zoologists are people who like to learn more about animals. They like to answer questions about animals by doing research in laboratories, working at zoos, or even observing animals in the wild. If you decide to become a zoologist, you need to decide what kinds of animals interest you most.

Have you ever seen a cuddly looking koala? Most people call them koala bears. But koalas aren't bears! In fact, koalas aren't even related to bears. Koalas are mammals called marsupials. Marsupial means “pouched animal.” Koalas carry their babies in pouches just like kangaroos. Koalas are picky eaters. The only food that a koala will eat is eucalyptus leaves. Eucalyptus leaves are found in Australia, so koalas live in Australia. Koalas are “nocturnal” animals, which means that they sleep during the day and are awake at night.

Amphibians are cold-blooded like reptiles, have backbones like reptiles and mammals, but are very different. Amphibians do not have any hair or skin scales on their bodies. They can breathe through their skin as well as through their lungs. Most amphibians spend part of their lives in water. Frogs, toads, and salamanders are examples of amphibians.
