Learning about how plants grow is a building block in the early grades science curriculum. Put a fun twist on this life science concept with these cup monster friends!

Here's an easy experiment that lets your first grader practice the scientific method, while watching a caterpillar eat.

Show your preschooler how to make a print of a butterfly using her hand as a tool--a great way to stimulate her sense of touch.

In this kindergarten activity your child will create a map of your house and use a magnet to move pictures of your family through the house!

Here's a math, science, and social studies activity: help your kindergartener become a "coin archaeologist" by examining how different coins look and feel.

In this simple and social activity, children use size comparison skills to find objects in nature that are bigger, smaller, longer, and shorter.

This experiment works due to a simple principle: plants need light. Build a shoebox maze and watch the plant work though the obstacle course, searching for sun.

Water, along with soil and light, is a necessary component for plant growth. So what's better for promoting plant growth: tap water, or rain water?
