Fun Science Projects

We are now in the season of science projects at school. Parents, it's
time to start catching up on the reasons why things work they way they
do (talk about learning all over again!). Here are some pages that
have great information and ideas. Lots of fun and creativity - the
kids won't know they are learning. This is also handy for parents who
have that toddler who is always asking 'why??'.

1. Science Buddies. You
can search for information on different topics for science projects
(this is done by grade level), or research topics that are already
there. The ideas are graded for difficulty, and tips are provided for
those who are interested in having a phenomenal science project.


2. All Science Fair Projects . These projects come with
complete ideas on how to complete them. They are set up by grade.


3. The Science Club. This site answers
science questions, provides science project ideas, and links you to
other science project websites.


4. Science Toys. Learn how to make toys at
home from common household materials. From candle powered steam boats
to crystal radio kits, thes are fun for the older child.


5. Fun Science Gallery.
There are numerous science projects and ideas on this site.


Even if you don't get to do the science experiments, you will learn
about how and why many things work the way they do. Happy
experimenting!
