Elementary Science Projects
Science Projects were never our strong suit. As hard as we tried to do a great project, the teacher always said that it was too hard or too elementary, it didn’t follow the scientific method or our sample wasn’t big enough. Starting with our first experiment in elementary school, science projects were miserable for us.
Finally, one year – and yes, we were still in an elementary grade – we hit on a science project idea that worked. We could find the supplies, we could get the science experiment to work, we could graph the results and find lots of research material. Best of all, our teacher though that it was a great science project idea, too! I can’t remember if we won at the science fair; just being able to find a project that was approved on the first try made it a winner in my book.
The following year, with a bit of experience (and confidence!) under our belts, it was easier to come up with a science project idea. We felt like rocket scientists when our project idea was accepted once again on the first submission!
We know that we’re not the only family that has a hard time finding a viable science project idea. We’ve done it all before – we have kids in four different grades. So we decided to take our best science project ideas and make them available to others. We chose five projects and made them into a package of science project guides that we sell online at 24hourscienceprojects.com. Each science project idea has step by step instructions, preformatted charts and graphs, reference helps, and easy to find supplies.
