Explore the outdoors with hands-on science activities for kids ages 5 to 10
Kids are full of big questions like "What makes plants grow?" or "Why does the moon change shape in the sky?". Awesome Outdoor Experiments for Kids can help them find the answers! It's a treasure trove of outdoor adventures, with more than 50 fun experiments that show kids science in action as they play outside.
Every experiment focuses on at least one aspect of STEAM: science, technology, engineering, arts, and math. As kids explore each activity outdoors, they'll get the chance to interact with nature and the amazing processes that are happening all around them. They'll observe bug behavior, build a beaver dam, predict the weather, and so much more.
Discover the ultimate guide to an outdoor science lab for kids:
- Easy to do at home--The activities use basic items that are probably already around the house and include easy-to-follow steps.
- Hows and whys--Kids will learn the real science behind every result with simple explanations of what happened, tips for exploring more, and fascinating questions to think about.
- Just for kids--Little ones might need a little help from a grown-up for certain steps, but these experiments are designed for kids to do all by themselves.
Get kids outdoors with a book of hands-on experiments that show them the power of nature!
