Science activity websites

Listed below are some websites that contain science activities that would be great resources for your classroom:

B B B Bill Nye the science guy- This website contains a lot of resources based around the Bill Nye the science guy videos. It contains some demo's of experiments, as well as links for other subject areas.

Kids National Geographic- This is the kids version of the National Geographic website. I linked it to the science section of it, which provides many different experiments for kids to do.

A-Z experiments- This websites provides experiments for toddlers and preschoolers. This specific link goes to the G experiment, which touches on gravity.

Shoe Box Maze- This website gives you the details on a cool experiment called the shoe box maze. It shows kids the growth tendencies of plants. There are other experiments on this website as well that you can try out in your classroom.

Little Miss Kindergarten- This website is actually a link to someone else's blog. She has a very interesting lesson concerning magnets which I think would be great to get kids thinking about how they work.

Kool-aid is educational?- This link takes you to a website that gives you 30 cool things to do with kool-aid (besides drink it). It shows you things like kool-aid play-doh and Kool-aid bubbles. Very fun for kids.

I want candy!- This is a website dedicated to science experiments using candy. What kid wouldn't want to have candy in the classroom. Grab the students interest immediately, and then show them just how fun science can be!

Weather!- This is the weather channel for kids website. It has all kinds of games, educational materials, and video clips for kids to watch. This would be a great resource for any weather unit.

science games- This is a link to the PBS kids website. It has a lot of science related games for kids to play right on the page. Let the kids learn while playing! They wont even realize the learning is happening, and they'll have fun!

Kids songs- This is a link to a Youtube channel that has many different kids songs. This includes songs about the zoo, the solar system, baby animals, and the colors of the rainbow.
