Remember those science experiments you had to do in school? If you have trouble getting it started here are some ideas that may help. Different ice shapes may melt at different times; see if there is a pattern. Making a tornado is one idea for your science project. Fill a jar about ? Once you have put the lid on the jar shake it really well. Here is one really great inexpensive project that did not turn out as expected, but still won 2nd place. The question was would plants grow better in plain water or sugar water. The child predicted the sugar water would make the plants grow better. Take sunflower seeds and plant several in two identical pots (can be cups or whatever else you may have), water one with plain tap water and the other with the sugar water. Take detailed notes on when, or if; they sprouted. If you can take pictures during the experiment that is great, but if not, just be as detailed as you can.

Some Low Cost Science Experiments for Kids
December 27th, 2009Science Projects For Families With More Than One Kid
December 22nd, 2009Science Projects for families with more than one child can be an daunting task for parents. Let kids work together on the same project. Recycle projects. We redid the experiment, but reused the science board, simply adding the fresh data and photographs.
If your school science fair allows it, one child can submit and experiment based project, and the other submit a demonstration. Science projects are supposed to be wonderful learning experiences for kids – and they can be. Look for ways to streamline and coordinate, and make science fair time a fun educational time for your kids.
Creating The Ideal Science Lab For Kids
December 19th, 2009Group work is usually a part of every child’s education and it is especially common when it comes to science lab. Rather than seat students separately, grouping them will help them learn to work together no matter what the project is. Stations are normally used for science since they give students the opportunity to learn the differences in different groups of elements by looking at slides or photos or to see the results of a variety of experiments.
For young children, textures and states of matter are important in their science lessons. Many of the pieces of furniture that are sold as science furniture are no more than a flat surface and four legs at an extreme price. For those ages that only need plastic tables, you don’t have to go to the expense of purchasing science furniture, just regular plastic furniture that is sturdy enough to support several kids leaning against it.
