Kids did Food Experiments at BASF Kids Lab
By Mommy Donna and Kib - October 28, 2018
Kids are curious by nature. They wanted to know how a particular thing works or what is the composition of something. They like tinkering and experimenting so that they would understand better the concept behind the thing they are curious upon. They like doing hands-on activities so that they will have an 'aha' moment once they have realized the results.
Indeed, the best way to feed child's curiosity is through experiments.
BASF Philippines has been providing an interactive science education programs to children ages 8-12 thru BASF Kids' Lab. BASF Kids' Lab was first held in BASF's headquarters in Ludwigshafen, Germany in 1997. The said program has been brought to more than 30 countries worldwide including the Philippines. BASF Kids' Lab has been held in the Philippines since 2005 and has already helped 3,000 children discover the world of chemistry in daily life and understand scientific concepts.
This interactive science education program focuses on fostering learning and interest in chemistry among children through safe and interactive science experiments.
To mark the 20th anniversary of BASF Kids' Lab, "Clever Foodies" was the theme for this year's science education program. This is in line with the United Nations' World Food Day celebration last October 16th. This program helps boost children's dietary awareness and encourage them to make positive changes towards healthier eating.
BASF Kids' Lab in the Philippines was held at The Mind Museum in BGC last October 19-21, 2018. Around 450 children from various public schools in Taguig City and from Gawad Kalinga communities joined this year's activity. These children explored and analyze the Vitamin C content and other substances contained in fruit and vegetables, and understand the benefits of eating a colorful range of vegetables and fruit.
