Children have a naturally inquisitive mind. Foster their curiosity with a walk through an autumn field or park to answer age-old “why” questions. As you walk with your child, you can encourage them to ask questions.

Let your kid experiment with textures among fabric and other materials that are smooth, rough, soft, or slippery—and then they'll make a texture book!

Learn about the layers of the Earth and make a model! Create a earth layer book, cake, or clay diagram.

This science fair project idea demonstrates that light travels in straight lines and experiments with reflecting light.

This science project teaches students to classify different shapes of leaves.

Checkerboard play challenges students to use spatial reasoning and computational thinking.

This activity challenges students to use computational thinking as they create a sequence of commands that will make a robot move in a pattern related to the sound and rhythm of music.

In this activity, students will think about the form and function of household objects as they compare and contrast kitchen serving spoons of various sizes and designs.

This activity is a fun challenge for students who have just started learning to program educational robots.

Here's a science activity to help your child investigate how seeds are designed to travel.

This science fair project teaches you about what makes persimmons so tart and how astringency can be removed by studying the effect of tannins on fruit.

In this open-ended activity, students will be given a small quantity of three types of materials and asked to design a prototype for “something that will improve the school.”

This activity challenges students to use computational thinking as they create a sequence of commands that will make a robot navigate around several obstacles.

In this activity, your student will be invited to build a chair out of building blocks that is designed to meet the specific size and shape of a small doll or toy figure.

This science fair project demonstrates the magic of arches by challenging students to stack telephone books on top of eggs without breaking them.

In this activity, students will create a stop motion animation by creating a clay figure and taking a series of digital photographs.

What is a wedge? Kids find out by experimenting with different wedges in this simple science fair project idea.

This activity challenges your student to use spatial reasoning and computational thinking to program multiple robots.

In this activity, students will be challenged to describe and count the ways a toy moves from one position on a grid to another.

What is biodiversity? Kids will study different areas of their backyards to see which is the most diverse to learn about biodiversity and random sampling.

What is mulch? Kids will provide soil with a wet blanket of mulch and see if that helps keep drought-stricken soil damp.

How does frost form? How fast does it form? Do this simple science project using a plastic glass, rock salt and some water to learn about deposition.

This science fair project idea determines if crystals will absorb food dye and if colors will mix by the process of diffusion.

Learn how to make a food pyramid with animals in a a coniferous forest ecosystem around your home.

By incorporating natural materials and the powers of observation, your child will become a backyard naturalist while building early writing and drawing skills!

In this Bernoulli's Principle experiment, you'll learn how an increase in the speed of a fluid, like air, decreases pressure.

For your budding first grade scientist, all you need is some simple, natural materials to create an amazing ant farm. Here's how to get started.

Learn about this simple machine and make a pulley of your own to use for fun science trials.

This science fair project focuses on a polymer called hydrogel super absorbent crystal which absorbs water, swelling to many times its original size.

Check out this cool science fair project idea to explore which other common animals besides scorpions glow under a UV Black light.
