Kids Lab will teach 600 children the importance of sun protection and letting them make their own sunscreen lotion. <\/p>\n
The children, aged 6 to 12 years, will have the opportunity to discover the world of chemistry by conducting experiments at BASF Kids' Lab in Sekolah Taman Hi-Tech, Kedah. <\/p>\n
This year, Kids' Lab will introduce the importance of sun protection by teaching the children to make sunscreen lotion and discover the various strength of UV protection. <\/p>\n
They will also learn how to detect the presence of vitamin C in food and beverages. <\/p>\n
\"We want to bring the joy of chemistry to the children,\" said BASF (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd managing director Daniel Loh. <\/p>\n
\"We trust these experiments will show them the role chemistry plays in everyday life. Skin protection and nutrition are crucial in achieving a healthy lifestyle. <\/p>\n
\"The knowledge and understanding on how these work is a powerful way for children to learn about healthy living,\" he added. <\/p>\n
Thirty students from Persatuan Dyslexia Malaysia were also invited to participate at the event this year. \"Dyslexic children learn better through hands-on experiments. <\/p>\n
