Free Ideas for Childrens Science Experiments

Science is about understanding the world around you.  Don't think of complicated formulas, lab coats and text books.  Think of the curiosity children are both with always asking why?  That's what science experiments are all about.

Science experiments give you and your children the opportunity to invent, create and learn how things work.   These free ideas for science activities should be fun for one or more kids as long as the adults plan to be involved too

Most science projects will use items commonly found in most households. It could be anything from an empty milk carton to some corn starch.  Just be sure to take the time to read thru the science experiment before you start.  Make sure you have everything on hand before you start.

There are lots of eye-opening discoveries to make about the world around you. Scroll down to find links to projects investigate everything from genetics to sound.

These science projects are the start of a very fun journey.  Or check the Free Activity Library for kids crafts and children's activities.
