Warmer weather means lots of water play and, for us, that means plenty of simple water science experiments to try with the kids! Since we’ve been homeschooling, I’ve learned that science doesn’t have to be a complicated subject to teach. Many scientific concepts sound complicated (and really are amazingly intricate), but showing kids how they workKeep Reading…
Simple Science Experiments: Simple Light Refraction Experiment
We’re continuing with our simple science experiments this week by taking a look at light refraction. I found a great light refraction experiment video on YouTube and decided to try it with Tigger. Full disclosure: I didn’t know that refraction was what this experiment demonstrated. I actually had to look it up first. But theKeep Reading…
Simple Heat Conduction Experiment with Air is Not Oxygen!
How many of you parents are extremely comfortable with teaching science? And I mean extremely comfortable. If you’re not, you’re not alone! I’m not much of a science buff myself. I got good grades in it as a kid, but I haven’t really ever been interested in it. (Except for astronomy. Astronomy is awesome.) SoKeep Reading…
Simple Science Experiments: Floating Egg Experiment
It’s time for another one of our simple science experiments! This time, we’re learning about salinity and floating with a simple floating egg experiment. My boys are entering first and second grade, respectively. These are excellent ages to introduce science experiments – especially ones that are low-prep, inexpensive, and simple to do, right? Check outKeep Reading…
