Simple Science Projects


You can help your child learn their science lessons well through simple science projects. Small projects that demonstrate scientific concepts, and also show how these concepts are relevant in everyday life can help your child really learn a lesson well. This will help them in school, and encourage them to explore the world of science further.

Simple science projects are great for many reasons, but two reasons that you will appreciate are that they require very few and easily accessible materials. This means that they can be done anytime, and will open up to the second reason, which is learning at home. Integrating what your child learns in school with what you do at home gives great continuity for your child.

These simple projects are also great because they often show complete and good understanding of science concepts. When a student truly understands a concept, they will be able to break it down and give you the simplest example. Doing simple science projects with your child often will help them really study science concepts and try to break them down into their simplest examples, which will help them really understand what each concept is all about.

While your child is young, begin looking for science projects you can do together, and in the future. Make it a fun game that you do every other day or every weekend. You can even demonstrate some scientific concepts while getting your child to help you cook dinner! Getting involved in their science class and the concepts being covered in class very early will help you create these everyday simple projects.

Even while your child is in the first grade, the concepts being discussed can lead to some science projects. For example, the study of the five senses can lead you to create a model eardrum, or your own potpourri in order to discuss how the senses work. The study of day and night can lead to a discussion on shadows and creating a sun dial together. Every science concept has a project application, so never give up!

Finally, doing projects with your child will also encourage them to come to you with their school work problems, and later on problems they face socially. Start doing simple science projects with your children while they are young so that they are used to spending time with you, and learning from you. Having this kind of relationship with your child will be a great building block for the future.
