Bring more science to your every day learning! Here are 5 fun and easy science experiments for kids to make. We have the kids watch the videos, gather the supplies, set up their science experiment station, do the experiment and then clean up! Great for children in grade school and up.
A special thanks to YouTube Kids for sending us a Hoopla Kidz Lab kids care package. We try to have at least one day every week were we do science experiments after school. It is something the kids and I really look forward to. Affiliate links are used in this article.
