This week kind of turned in to science week (how does that happen to a Mom with such a solid plan?)
We started off Monday with a fun after school science lesson, moved on to Ricki Lake (which was more of a networking experiment for me.
) and followed that up with 5 great science experiments yesterday. FUN!
I’ve decided to roll with it and recap some of the simple science fun we’ve had here over the past 1 and 1/2. If you’ve been around awhile enjoy the memories… I know I did! If you are new here, make sure to enter your email address on the sidebar. There are even more great playful learning ideas to come.
Use science to navigate a hidden maze.
Take advantage of a wet day with a rain experiment or a scientific rain walk.
Celebrate holidays… science style with a rotting pumpkin or an all out egg experiment event!
Bring the science play outside with a kid made sundial, backyard volcano or some nice messy cornstarch and water fun!
Match a good book with some simple science fun. George’s Marvelous Medicine or You Can’t See Your Bones with Binoculars.
Mix science and pretend play with a weather sensory tray.
Science is extra fun when you get to be the sun dial!
For those girly scientists… start with an experiment and end with pretty bracelet.
Keep track of all your science fun in a family science / nature journal.
What is your favorite simple science activity?





All of these are so fun. Science is such a fun way to play! Can’t wait to try the ones we haven’t done.
That sundial activity looks awesome! Can’t wait to try that!

The sundial activity was so fun! I think we might do it again.
These activities will be perfect during a weekend with my kids. I will have to try them. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Weekends are the best days for simple science.
