THE YOUNG SCIENTISTS CLUB WINS TWO MORE AWARDS

     Sci-ology:  Creative Child Magazine Toy of The Year Award

Dig Real Fossils:  Creative Child Magazine Seal Of Excellence Award

(Jamestown, RI) – The Young Scientists Club announced today that they have received two awards from Creative Child Magazine. Creative Child Magazine is a national publication that provides parents with the latest information on how to nurture their child’s creativity and will feature all their select winners of the 2005 Creative Child Awards in their upcoming holiday issue.  

Sci-ology is an exhilarating science card game for the entire family.  The goal of this exciting game is to collect the most quartets (groups of four) by using memory and strategy skills.  At the same time, this fast-paced game introduces players to 12 different fields of science while providing fun facts on each card (such as, “The giant clam can be 4.5 feet tall and weigh 500 pounds”).  Sci-ology is a fascinating game that is a blast for the whole family and will be played over and over again for many years to come.  Sci-ology also won the Dr. Toy Smart Play/Smart Toy Award earlier this year.

Dig Real Fossils is a simulation of a real paleontology fossil dig.  Children dig for a fossilized shark tooth, brachiopod shell, amnonite shell, and “squid” shell.  These real -millions of years old- fossils are enclosed in a “brick” and are revealed by using the supplied scraping and brush tools (similar to what real paleontologists use).  Young paleontologists then take a closer look at these fossils with the enclosed magnifying glass and learn fascinating details about each fossil using the enclosed fun fact sheet.  The easy-to-open tube also serves as a display case for the discovered fossils which can then be treasured for many years to come.  DIG REAL FOSSILS is an exciting and fascinating introduction to paleontology and is sure to be a sensation with children of all ages!

The mission of The Young Scientists Club is simple - to offer children quality, science-related products that will fascinate them with wonders of scientific discovery and spark their interest in future scientific endeavors.  All Young Scientists Club products are designed by a team of Harvard graduates, scientists, educators, and parents with one purpose in mind – to combine fun and fascination with quality and learning in each and every product.  All products can be purchased in specialty retail stores, museum stores, hobby stores, and on-line retailers.
