This project determines the age of a tree using a growth factor chart instead of cutting the tree down to count the rings in its base.

Tree rings can tell the age of the tree but also information about the world. This science experiment uses tree stumps to discover new facts.

Do you have your isopods straight? Learn about sow bug and pill bug behavior by building a terrarium to study them in!

Let your young adventurer go bug hunting in the great outdoors with their very own bug net!

Science fair project determines relationship between number and variety of insects and spiders by collecting and counting invertebrates in a ecosystem.

Can you plant the insect-attracting borage plant to increase the amount of beneficial insects in your garden? Find out in this experiment!

Boys might wrinkle their noses at the thought of gardening, but we guarantee they'll like this activity! Make a recycled terrarium full of bug-eating plants.

Cinnamon is tasty, but does it have super powers as well? Find out if cinnamon can repel mosquitoes in this outdoorsy experiment.

Creating a home for a toad is an easy and fun project for kids. Here's how to make your very own toad abode.

Have you ever seen fruit decay? Find out if a fruit will rot faster if you open it versus leaving it untouched!

What is surface tension? Kids will discover how water-skating insects use surface tension to keep from sinking by making a model water walker.

Study the life cycle of the common blowfly as it relates to forensic investigation. Record the first time you see flies, maggots, and eggs.

Beetles come in many shapes and colors. Here's how your second grade child can create his own beetles to paint and play with!

Blanket forts are a kid classic! Let your child create a âfortress of solitudeâ on his own for reading, telling scary stories or for cozy cocooning.

Wiggly worms are known for staying buried in the soil, but how does that affect plants? Are earthworms and plant growth related?

Give some of your local ladybugs a warm place to stay for the winter by making a ladybug home with recycled materials.

Here's a fun math and science activity: help your child explore four different kinds of measurement, using their hand and a few simple household tools.

In this free science fair project idea, we learn about surface tension and how it can support mass—in this case, a floating paper clip.

Science fair project which determines whether it is numerically possible to be connected to every person on the earth within six degrees of separation.

Your child grows a green thumb and flowers with this seed planting activity that also celebrates the 100th day of school!

Science fair project that compares the biodiversity of fungi in different ecosystems by identifying species of fungi.

Soil is made up of different layers. How far down do you need to dig to find the soil horizon, or the place where bits of leaves and branches become soil?

Kids will make predictions about cricket behavior by conducting this fun and easy experiment which simulates different environments for crickets.

Here's a fun at-home activity that will help your child strengthen math skills using high and low temperature data, and become a master temperature tracker!

What is biodiversity? Kids will study different areas of their backyards to see which is the most diverse to learn about biodiversity and random sampling.
