Science is all about exploring how things work. It’s often best learned through hands-on experiments and observation. This makes it a fun and easy subject area for kids to dive into while at home. Parents don’t need chemistry or biology degrees to help their kids learn science. Curiosity and playfulness go a long way when it comes to science. A willingness to get a little mess also helps. Here’s a list of online science resources to help kids learn and have fun while at home.

They’ll pick up new vocabulary, strengthen math skills, engage in logic and problem solving, get practice explaining concepts to others and more. Have them keep a journal or log, take photos, make a video of their discovery or Facetime grandparents to share their project. Science is a great way to keep kids learning and pass the time without argument because they’re having fun.
