125+ Must-Try Science Activities for Kids

Kids love science activities!  Activities are usually easier and less structured than science experiments.  It is easy science for kids where each  activity explores a little bit of the world in a playful way.

Doing these activities at home or at school is the perfect way for kids of all ages to fall in love with science.

What Do You Need for Science Activities?

Everything you need, you likely already have at home.  Science activities use things that you have around the house.  If you don't have something that is on the supplies list, don't be afraid to experiment with something you do!

Science Activities for Preschoolers

Preschoolers are curious.  That makes them the perfect fit with simple science experiments and activities.

They love to explore and play.

Science activities and experiments give Preschoolers permission to freely ask WHY.  Parents/teachers love these simple activities because they don't have to have all the answers.

It is really about having fun and learning together.

Why Science for Kids is So Important

Science provides the answers for some of kid's most common questions!  Playing with science helps kids love science, develop analysis skills,  learn how to express themselves and encourages critical thinking.

DIY Bouncy Balls will keep your kids entertained for hours. Best yet, many of these can be made with items you already have around the house.
