Engaging Science Activities and Fun Experiments for Kids

Getting Started
Grades K-2 Materials List
Grades 3-4 Materials List
Grades 5-6 Materials List

Science A-Z Process Activities provide opportunities to apply important unit concepts and develop scientific practices through hands-on science activities and fun experiments for kids. Students learn to read, think, write, speak, and behave as real scientists in a structured format, which helps prepare them to design and pursue their own investigations in the future.

Each Process Activity includes a purpose, background information, a materials list, procedures, a data sheet, and several questions to help students analyze their data and draw conclusions. Teaching Tips help guide science projects for kids.

Why Use Process Activities

In Science A-Z Process Activities, students apply important practices in order to construct scientific understanding. Students identify problems, ask and answer questions, hypothesize, manipulate variables, apply math skills, gather evidence, solve problems, and communicate their findings through speaking, listening, and writing.

Students practice observing, proposing new ideas, designing experiments, and testing new ideas as they collaborate with peers on a Process Activity. These skills and habits of mind apply to everyday life long after students complete classroom investigations.
