Soil Contains Water Experiment
For kindergarten "concrete" thinkers, water is water...and soil is soil. But then there's the important scientific principle that plants need water, and the water must stay somewhere! Here's a kindergarten experiment to explore that issue using simple household items.
Make a Tooth Care Poster
During kindergarten, your child will learn about dental hygiene and how to take care of those growing pearly whites! Make a tooth care poster with her to help her understand how important it is to take care of that beautiful smile!
Explore Earth Science and Make a "Worm Hotel"
Worms are a vital part of our ecosystem, enriching the nutrients in the soil by constantly digesting and composting as they burrow through the ground. Make this "worm hotel" with your budding scientist to get a special view of what's going on.
Climb That Food Pyramid and Boost Those Kinder Reading Skills!
No, marshmallows aren't a staple food. But try telling that to a hungry kindergartner right before dinner! Want to find a better way to teach nutrition and build up his early reading skills, too? Here's an interesting and informative activity that can help.
Yeast Science: It's Alive!
Get your child excited about science and teach her about a fascinating and extremely beneficial little organism that does so much for us. This science experiment with yeast is especially good for kindergartners, who are always exploring that timeless question: "Is it alive?"
Go Searching for Fossils in Your Sandbox!
Dinosaur-obsessed kids - and really, are there any kids who don't get excited about dinosaurs? - will love making their own fossils to hide in the sandbox or at the beach for warm-weather excavations.
Make Rain in a Bag!
This experiment lets young learners explore the water cycle long before they can define the words precipitation, evaporation, and condensation.
Play the Senses Guessing Game
Your turn to guess! In this fun guessing game, your child uses his sense of smell and taste to figure out what kind of food is in each container.
Make a Silly Weather Vane
Learning about the weather is an important kindergarten science concept. This silly activity gives it an artistic spin. Your child will learn about wind direction and create a self portrait at the same time. How? With a weather vane that looks like her!
Make a Magnet Map
Kindergarteners are fascinated by both magnets and maps. In this activity your child will create a map of your house and use a magnet to move pictures of your family through the house!
