Science Experiments To Do At Home Pack
By Science and STEAM Team
Do you want to help get your families involved in science? This Science Experiments To Do At Home is perfect for that. This resource contains 10 science experiments and 3 STEM challenges. Each of the activities comes with explicit instructions and requires materials that most people have in their homes. There are 6 different toppers that come in both color and black and white. The experiments can be run off in color or on regular paper. You can use one topper and send home all the activities at once with a few of the materials (there is a shopping list for you). I like to send the science pack with a different topper home three times a year. I put 3 experiments in and 1 STEM challenge each time.
