Science Fair Projects for 8th Graders As kids reach the 8th grade, their exposure to science goes up a notch. Equipped with basic knowledge, they can begin to explore more complicated concepts and satisfy their curiosity for deeper answers to the ‘whys’ and ‘hows’ of the world. This can translate to better science fair projects, […]
Science Fair Projects for 7th Graders​​ Science fair projects for 7th graders are a step up in complexity. Because 7th graders have a better grasp of science concepts, they’re expected to practice the scientific method in the way they approach their experiments–which includes starting with a hypothesis and then conducting processes to prove or disprove […]

There are plenty of activities your kiddo can do in our STEM science kits for kids that won’t […]
Easy Science Fair Projects for Kids Science fairs are a long-standing tradition that provide kids with the opportunity to better understand practical concepts in fun and innovative ways. The great thing about the experiments presented at these events is that they don’t have to be too complicated to showcase the wonders of science. There are […]
Have you ever wondered how you can help provide habitat for pollinators like honey bees and butterflies in your back yard? Learn how to make a pollinator hotel with this step-by-step guide and lesson. Pollinators are animals that help move pollen. Most pollinators are insects, like bees, butterflies, and beetles. Butterflies, beetles, and many species […]
If you're looking for a way to make biology fun and memorable for your student, look no further than dissection! This complete field guide to dissection will explain everything needed to make dissection labs an enjoyable learning experience for your kids.

This Turkey Family Genetics activity is a fun way to teach your student about inheriting different traits and spark a lively conversation about why we look the way that we do.

Why Honey Bees are Important The honey bee is one of the most important pollinators in the world. In this article, we will discover the lifecycle of a Honey Bee. Pollination is how plants reproduce. Honey bees take pollen grains from a flower’s anther to another flower’s stigma. According to the American Beekeeping Federation, roughly […]
Dr. Erica Saint Clair explains how these five cool summer projects incorporate entertaining, hands-on science.

Collect leaves and learn all the colors in leaves — not just the ones you see!

To get started with our leaf chromatography experiment, we first must learn about leaves. Leaves contain different pigments, which give them their color. Green chlorophyll is the most common type of pigment, but there are also carotenoids (yellow, orange) and anthocyanins (red). Chlorophyll, which is essential for photosynthesis, usually hides the other pigments, except when […]
