News: Science Buddies Kits for Fall


Our STEM-centric Science Buddies Kits are ready to roll out for the Fall. SCLS-YS is now taking reservations for September through December! If you are interested in borrowing any of the kits please contact Patty at patty@suffolknet.org. Below are the descriptions of our eight kits!

AMAZING MAGNETS
See what sticks a magnet to metal! Explore your library to see what’s magnetic in the stacks or make pictures using magnetic boards and shapes.

SINK OR FLOAT
Don’t be afraid to splash around while you discover buoyancy and displacement. Make a boat of tin foil and see how long it will float or take everyday objects and see what happens when they are dropped in water!

COLORS & PATTERNS
Mix and match. Shine and stack. See how colors come together to create patterns and new shades!

COUNTING AND MEASURING
How much? How long? Don’t be afraid to count high, measure inches, centimeters, ½ and ¼ cups with this kit!

EASY ENGINEERING
Whether you are stacking a tower or building a bridge it all has to do with engineering! Work on your own bridges and see what they hold or make a marshmallow structure and see how high you can go!

NOTICING NATURE
Explore the science that lives all around you. Get up close and personal with a magnifying glass for bugs or binoculars for birds! Take notes and explore.

*NEW* KICKIN’ CHEMISTRY
Fast, slow, and bubbly reactions take place when you mix different substances in this chemic kit!

*NEW* SUPER SIMPLE MACHINES
Build and experiment with machines that make things go up, down, and far with ease.
