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

This is a quick, easy science fair project that conveys the idea of density to preschool and early elementary children.

Children learn the six parts of a plant...but do they really understand? Try this plant-themed meal plan to bring school science into the home.

This fun experiment provides a concrete and visually striking illustration of photosynthesis.

Using a toy race car kids create a visual model of the Doppler Effect.

Bring the magic and mystery of the night sky to the light of day with this fun constellation art project!

In this project children discover, identify, and sort seeds from a variety of fruits and vegetables

This project explores whether plants can live and grow when "watered" with juice, soda, or milk.

In this science fair project, kids observe the expansion of liquids when frozen and determine if some liquids expand more than others in the freezing process.

In this science fair experiment, children demonstrate the relationship between the amount of stuff and the amount of pressure in a closed system.

This engaging project encourages young children to practice and refine the important scientific skills of sorting and classification.

This project examines whether people's taste perception is influenced by what they see.

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 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.

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.

This project leads to an understanding that a whole may be built of smaller parts that fit and work together and provides an introduction to basic tools.

This project is a vivid, concrete introduction to the basic but important idea that plants need sunlight and water to grow.

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.
