This science fair project looks one of the most important factors affecting seed germination: water. A fun and easy plant biology experiment for 3rd graders.

Children have a naturally inquisitive mind. Foster their curiosity with a walk through an autumn field or park to answer age-old “why” questions. As you walk with your child, you can encourage them to ask questions.

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

What animals are most popular? This project affords practice in data-collection, record-keeping and data-analysis through the investigation of this question.

Which music genres have the fastest tempos? The slowest? This experiment determines if there's a relationship between beats per minute in a song and its genre.
