How to Find Iron Ore in Your Backyard
Have you ever wondered where metals such as iron, copper or nickle come from? We can buy them from hardware store, right? Well, how did they get to the store then? Turns out a lot of metals can simply be found in soil. Try this simple extraction experiment. Why Turns out pure iron is actually quite…
Science Projects – Experiments – STEM Activities
In an analysis of 6 studies including more than 35,000 kindergarten-ready children, it was found that comprehension of the world was the strongest indicator of the kid’s future academic performance. Comprehension or general knowledge of the world is a very broad category, but it basically means common sense in daily lives. It is not surprising that…
Scientific Method Worksheet, Template & Example
Table of Contents What Is The Scientific Method? Scientific Method Steps Scientific Method Examples – Zoey and Sassafras Download Scientific Method Worksheet What Is The Scientific Method? The scientific method is a systematic way of studying the world in a scientific manner. It allows scientists to minimize errors and increase confidence in the results of…
Fine Motor Activities
Toddler’s fine motor skills is one of the strongest predictors of the child’s future academic achievement. Fine motor skill is the ability to control hands and fingers. They are needed for writing, playing with small toys, doing puzzles, cutting with scissors, tying shoelaces and more. At school, kids are expected to learn to write new…
Diffusion Science Experiment
Can colors dance? They sure can! There are several ways to do that. Why There are several scientific observations you can make in this experiment (and show your preschoolers). Insolubility First, baby oil and water don’t mix. As you pour the oil into the water, you can see it sink into the water due to…
Paper Shapes Activity
Shape Activity For Preschoolers This shape activity for preschoolers requires very simple materials. It is the perfect project for little kids to exercise their fine motor skills and learn to visualize different 3 dimensional shapes. Note that this project requires a lot of eye-hand coordination. I’d recommend this for children above 4 years old. These cube and…
Life Cycle of Silkworm
Silkworms Silkworms are native in China. They spin cocoons of fine, strong and lustrous fiber which can be used to produce raw silk. Silkworms are domesticated insects which means they cannot survive in the wild by themselves. The practice of breeding silkworms for silk production has existed for at least 5,000 years in China. Silkworm…
Static Electricity and Water
Here is a simple physics experiment you can do with your kiddo. You can bend water using the static electricity in a balloon. Yes, you can BEND WATER! How cool is that?! Why Every object is made up of small particles called atoms. A balloon comprises many atoms and so does your hair. These particles are…
Shadow Drawing – Light And Shadow Experiment
Why Light travels in a straight line (as far as our eyes can tell) until it hits an object. When an object is placed in the light’s path, the part of the light that reaches the object will be blocked while the rest of the light keeps going. The blocked part becomes a shadow on…
Grow A CD Garden
After doing the Hovercraft and Friction experiment, we were left with an empty CD case. Some creative upcycling idea was needed! We got rid of our grass lawn a few years ago because the location wasn’t suitable for growing healthy grass. But we still have a bag of grass seed left and some fresh soil…
Can You Make Rain?
Can you make rain in your own home? We came across a rain making experiment that uses hot boiling water to create steam which then condenses under a plate holding ice cubes. Then my 4 year old asked me who was heating up the water in the ocean to generate steam. I explained to her that…
Hovercraft & Friction Experiment
If you happen to have an old CD disc and a balloon, what will you do with it? Books And Activities On Friction Physics Laws-Inertia, Friction, Circular Motion and Energy Conservation Building Set What Is Friction? Bill Nye the Science Guy Why Friction is the force created when two objects move across each other to…
Does Water Conduct Electricity? Simple Experiment
“Don’t touch a switch with wet hands!” We were all taught that since we were little kids. It does seem like water can conduct electricity and that is why we shouldn’t touch any electrical outlet or switches if our hands are not dry. Does water really conduct electricity? Let’s find out by doing a simple controlled…
How To Draw A 3 Dimension (3D) Flower
3D drawing is a visual illusion trick your kid will love to learn. By using the properties of depth perception, you can draw an object that looks like it’s jumping out of (or into) the 2D piece of paper. It’s a great quiet time activity, too. My child sat quietly at the table drawing lines…
Weathervane | Weather Science
Summer is more than half way through. Soon it’ll be fall and the change in seasons is usually accompanied by curious questions about the weather. Since autumn is often windy, one inevitable question is: Where does wind come from? This question has two meanings: a) how is wind created? and b) which direction does the wind…
How Are Ocean Currents Formed | Water Convection Experiment
How Are Ocean Currents Formed Ocean currents are formed in several ways – by wind, by gravity, by events such as earthquakes and by density differences in the water. Density in the water changes when temperature or salinity varies. Why Temperature can change the density of a fluid. In this experiment, higher temperature causes water to…
Easy Science Experiment: Gravity And Magnetism Activity
This easy science experiment is a fun way to demonstrate the concept of gravity and magnetism to young kids. It takes almost no time to set up. Perfect for busy parents or on sick days. 🙂 Warning: Magnets are very hazardous if swallowed. Please keep them away from children who still put everything into their mouths. What you need…
Evaporation —> Distillation | Water Science
Have you ever drunk bottled water? Do you know what is inside? There is a variety of bottled waters you can buy in the store. Bottled water can be mineral water, spring water, well water, distilled water, etc. Some are even carbonated (with bubbles). In this experiment, let’s make our own distilled water using evaporation,…
Magical Floating Water | Science Experiment
Do you know that water can defy gravity and float in midair? It sure can. Let’s try this magical floating water experiment. Air molecules, which we cannot see with naked eyes, are constantly moving and bombarding everywhere. The resulting force is air pressure. Normally, the air pressure above and below the water are the same….
