In this science fair project, young children will become aware of and have the opportunity to experience the four basic tastes: sweet, sour, salty, and bitter.

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

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?

Alive or not? This yeast experiment you can conduct with your little scientist explores the answer to this timeless question.

This project explores whether plants can live and grow when "watered" with juice, soda, or milk.

This project is a vivid, concrete introduction to the basic but important idea that plants need sunlight and water to grow.

In this fun guessing game, your child uses his sense of smell and taste to figure out what is in the container. Here's how to play:

Make scented sensory cloud dough. Add it to a sensory table, activity station, or put it in a baggie for extra at-the-park entertainment!

Set up a fun guessing game for your curious kindergartener, one that will test her ability to use all five of her senses.

Can you fool your eyes and your brain with an optical illusion? The purpose of this science fair project is to demonstrate various kinds of optical illusions.

Use this fun activity to make an optical illusion picture that helps your kindergartener explore the sense of sight, and sharpen his observation skills!

Hold a magnet marathon! Explore the power of magnets with your kindergartener in this entertaining and simple science game.

Learn how different types of soil affect how animal tracks form in this experiment!

This simple project makes young children aware of their sense of smell and its capacity for providing them with information about their world.

Help your kindergarten scientist predict and observe as she explores the science of smell...and have a great time doing it, too.

Stories change as you retell them. The objective of this science fair project is to demonstrate how information gets interpreted, distorted and changed.

Learn all about balance and motion as your child designs a corn maze!

Invite your kindergarten scientist to conduct this color mixing experiment to discover which primary hues make a rainbow of secondary colors.

This science project teaches young students about germs, bacteria, and the importance of washing their hands. Students will test what is the best way to wash.

This science experiment tests why guacamole goes brown and if leaving the pit in will stop guacamole from turning brown.

In this project, create and examine garden mulch to find out what critters live in the messy, muddy layers just above the soil.

This science fair project teaches students about wilting and browning of salad greens.

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.
