What Do We Do All Day

Books and Activities for Kids

Science Activities for Kids

Science activities for kids that are easy to do at home.

My kids love learning with simple science experiments. Scientific explorations teaches kids patience, encourages curiosity and is also just a lot of fun!

Most of our science projects are easy to do at home, with common household materials. We have ideas for toddlers and tweens and everyone in between. You will find everything from plant science, to chemical reactions, to harnessing the power of electricity. There is something for every interest and skill level.

Peruse our archive of ideas or see a list on our Giant List of Indoor Activities for Kids.

Sailing Away: Homemade Sailboats

April 16, 2008

“Air and Wind” was the theme in this morning’s Science Class. Judging by the kids’ involvement, it was definitely one of the most successful classes, perhaps because he likes water play so much. Kiddo loved all the activities and so when he was being annoying during dinner preparation I set up the sailboat activity. It…
