At my kids’ school they have the science fair at the end of the year. We’re always looking for ideas for elementary age appropriate science projects. Still, some of these projects are fun and educational to do at home. Great snow day activities too.
Check out these science experiments, science freebies, and science books that will make back-to-school fun for everyone.
