In this sound experiment children listen for differences as they tap on a bag of air, a bag of water, and a wooden block held up to their ears.

In this air pressure science experiment with a balloon and a jar, children will use heat to create a partial vacuum and suck a balloon into a jar.

In this project children practice the scientific method while playing with puffy paint.

In this experiment, students will create their own version of coquina, a sedimentary rock thatâs formed by seashells and sand, cemented by seawater minerals.

In this project combining nature, art, math, and science, children make rubbings of leaves then observe shapes and structures and sort the leaf images.

People have favorite flavors, but what about ants? Which ant food is the most popular?

This science experiment examines the role of fat in food, especially in making bread rise and whipping cream.

Make a spring collage with your child to get them outside and those creative juices flowing!

This classic children's game demonstrates how sound travels through air vs. through a solid.

In this science fair project, students discover how sedimentary layers form as sediments like mud, silt and sand settle over time.

This classic children's game-connecting two cups with a string-demonstrates sound's ability to travel through air vs through a solid.

In this science fair project, kids measure how weather conditions affect how fast a puddle evaporates.

This project demonstrates the correspondence between the volume of water displaced by a submerged object and the volume of the object displacing it.

Children are imaginative story-builders. Create a shoebox habitat with your child to put those budding creative instincts to good use.

Teach your first grade scientist the difference between liquids and solids using maple syrup.

Camouflage is one of the most important animal adaptations in the African savanna biome. Kids create their own camouflage with this fun science fair project.

In this science fair project, you'll make a "ghost" appear in a test tube, and learn about what happens when hot water and cold water interact.

This science project teaches young students about germs, bacteria, and the importance of washing their hands. Students will test what is the best way to wash.

This science project challenges students to study deer behavior in their natural habitat- the feeding patterns, social behaviors, male to female ratio, etc.
