According to Esther Novis, the founder of The Young Scientists
Club, "Magic School Bus™, is a great fit for our science kits as it
combines fun and education with hands-on-science learning and, in return our
science kits complement the Magic School Bus™ TV shows, DVDs, and books.

More fun science from the award-winning series, "The Secrets
of Space"and "Soaring Into Flight" from The Young Scientists Club.
Esther Novis, a mother of five and a
former Harvard-trained biologist, started The Young Scientists Club a
decade ago as a summer science camp for her then 5-year-old son.
Friends from other parts of the country told Novis they felt cheated
that their kids couldn't go, so she naturally packaged the experiments
and sent them off. 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.
