Why choose herScience™ Science Project?

To the parents:

herScience™ seeks to create within girls, at an early age, a strong desire to explore the field of science. In our science project kit, we offer a quality microscope as a valuable tool along with carefully tested, planned activities to make using our kit a fun-filled learning experience.

Unique to the herScience microscope science project kit is the inclusion of activity cards and questions for your child’s engagement and exploration. These are written with a child’s interest level and a specific focus on their environment. It’s our plan that girls will enjoy this kit to the extent that science will become one of their favorite subjects. With the included activity cards, we've eliminated the curious one-time use of the microscope, and then put away never to be used again. Using herScience will help each girl to have the opportunity to see the microworld of her living surroundings in a very special and new way.

An interactive web-site is also part of your purchase. Use it to ask questions about your microscope, offer suggestions, order accessories and supplies, and to see what version of herScience will next be offered.

herScience is a design and creation of Daryl M. Watkins; classroom science teacher with 25 years experience teaching science. He brings to this kit his knowledge and valuable hands-on experience.
