Kids are sure to be entranced by the magic of the ocean when they create their very own ocean in a bottle.

Can't make it to the beach? Bring the science of ocean waves home with this fun earth science-related craft.

Use dirt and different colors of craft sand to make unique layers in a clear plastic cup to represent the layers of the Earth.

It's a rare kid who doesn't like a sandbox. Next time you're out digging, build in some earth science, too.

Make "fossils" with your child to hide in the sandbox or at the park or the beach, to help your child explore his archaeological side.

In this fun activity, kids practice measurement and boost fine motor skills as they learn all about how fossils form and even make a few of their own!

With some cookie dough and ordinary household objects, let your kindergartener explore how fossil imprints are made.
