Outdoor Science Lab For Kids - Liz Lee Heinecke

Have fun learning about the laws of physics by constructing and using a marshmallow catapult, centripetal forces by swinging a sock filled with gelatin snack and marbles. Earthworms by using ground mustard seed dissolved in water to make them wriggle to the surface. Germination by sprouting a sapling from a pinecone or tree seed.

Surface tension and capillary action by growing baking soda stalagmites and stalactites. Many of the simple and inexpensive experiments are safe enough for toddlers, yet exciting enough for older kids, so families can discover the joy of science and STEM education together. The popular Lab for Kids series features a growing list of books that share hands-on activities and projects on a wide host of topics, including art, astronomy, clay, geology, math, and even how to create your own circus-all authored by established experts in their fields.

Each lab contains a complete materials list, clear step-by-step photographs of the process, as well as finished samples. The labs can be used as singular projects or as part of a yearlong curriculum of experiential learning. The activities are open-ended, designed to be explored over and over, often with different results.

Geared toward being taught or guided by adults, they are enriching for a range of ages and skill levels. Gain firsthand knowledge on your favorite topic with Lab for Kids.
