This activity combines art and science. Kids learn about how molecules join together and make a pretty decoration to hang around the house.
Make Colorful Crystals from Coal
Your child is familiar with coal: it's those chalky black briquettes that cook up burgers and hot dogs on the open grill. But does your child know that with a lot of pressure - and even more time - coal can be transformed into glittering diamonds?
Go On a Paint Chip Picture Walk
This isn't your traditional nature walk--it includes a creative, scavenger hunt-style twist! Your child will try to capture photos that correspond to paint chip colors, and then create a scrapbook!
Backyard Astronomy
Your child will likely be amazed when she finds out that our own sun is a star. And come nighttime, she'll enjoy looking up at constellations. The best news is, star gazing is something everyone can enjoy with no special equipment needed.
Learn Where Wind Comes From
Demonstrate how wind is created with an entertaining activity, and introduce your child to the wild ways the weather works.
Blow It Out!
For second graders, air is a tricky science concept. It's invisible; it doesn't make sounds; you can't pick it up and throw it. So how do we know it exists? Help your young scientist figure it out.
