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

Here's a fun activity to help build thinking skills in young first grade scientists, and to encourage them to have a blast exploring the mass and volume.

Engineers in training can get started with this simple wheel-and-axle construction activity.

Your kindergartener will make prints of his favorite fruits and vegetables and learn how to organize and assemble his very own book.

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

By incorporating natural materials and the powers of observation, your child will become a backyard naturalist while building early writing and drawing skills!

Children use their design thinking skills and powers of observation to create and construct a bird nest.

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

Here's a classic celery science experiment that uses celery and food coloring to demonstrate how plants absorb water.

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

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.

Science fair project idea that examines different physical characteristics of a chosen animal. Make educated guesses about evolution based on animal's form.

Plants need water to grow. In this project we learn how plants transport water from their roots to their leaves

This play-activity causes young children to focus on and become more aware of their sense of hearing and the power of their ears.

Take a trip to the pet store and then make a scrapbook to help your kindergartener learn the difference between living and non living things!

In this science fair project, young children will become aware of and have the opportunity to experience the four basic tastes: sweet, sour, salty, and bitter.

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.

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

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

Use simple materials to build a "worm hotel" with your kindergarten soil scientist...and see what worms really do all day.

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

Learn how different types of soil affect how animal tracks form in this experiment!

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

Use reusable, recyclable materials--along with a dose of imagination--to build a castle with first grade geometrical forms.

In this science fair project, young children discover what happens when two fluids that have different densities get together.

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.

In this science and engineering activity, children will explore types of tunnels and their purposes and then design and build a tunnel of their own.

Get your child outside to observe the clouds, and get a fun exercise in science, writing, and arts and crafts! Here's how.

Want to boost math and science learning? Take a bug expedition and give your first grader practice observing and charting what they see.

Plant a mini herb garden and teach your child about science and nature.
