This homemade parachute toy is incredibly easy to build. Plus, it gives kids an excuse to investigate and experiment...the backbone of kindergarten science.

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.

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

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

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

Magnets may hold up papers on the fridge, but is it the paper that attracts them? Find out more with this kindergarten science investigation.
