Young Scientists Club’s 2012 Science Kits Exert Invisible Powers
If you find yourself with metal in your pockets at this year’s American International Toy Fair in New York City, then don’t be surprised when you get sucked into Booth 5214. What’s the attraction? Well, besides their personal magnetism, the scientists at The Young Scientists Club will be showing some new Magic School Bus science kits, including “Attracted to Magnificent Magnets.”

ABOUT THE YOUNG SCIENTISTS CLUB
Esther Novis, a mother of five and a former Harvard-trained biologist, started The Young Scientists Club as a summer science camp for her then 5-year-old son. Friends from other parts of the country told Novis they wanted to duplicate her concept and the idea for a science subscription service was born! The subscription kits are now mailed monthly to thousands of children around the world and the company’s retail kits are sold in hundreds of specialty stores.
In addition to developing new products for The Young Scientists Club, this wise mom has many years of experience teaching at Phillips Academy, Andover and has written the science column for Parents Magazine plus wrote science experiments for the new science curriculum by McGraw-Hill Publishing.
