Science Activities for Kids

Science Activities for Kids

Kids are natural scientists, but sometimes they need a little help finding science activities that explore new territory. The Internet has terrific sites for kids, and at Big Learning we're always on the lookout for cool science activity ideas and web sites.

A child's science activity isn't always formal, because kids learn through play and exploration. Sometimes all an adult has to do is offer a new web site or a cool gadget or device, and let the kids play. Other times a well-thoughtout science demonstration will be just the thing to inspire kids to explore and invent. You'll find both kinds of science activities here.
