About Us | Knowing Science - Kid Knowledge |

Knowing Science, LLC was founded to help elementary school educators teach core concepts in science, beginning in the earliest grades. Using methods and materials that draw on the latest findings from cognitive neuroscience research, we design our products to develop children’s knowledge of fundamental concepts such as measurement, distance, and force and motion.

Through engaging activities and demonstrations, social interaction, and shared experience, Knowing Science’s materials lead children to achieve basic science literacy.
