Our kids love science projects. I think there is instant gratification in experiments that work like magic before their eyes. With the start of the school year, it can be fun to reinforce or introduce learning at home with science. Today, I am featuring science ideas from Enchanted Homeschooling Mom. She has been having some health issues, and a bunch of bloggers are getting together to share her ideas while she is in treatment and recovery. You can follow along with her 25,000 + Facebook followers and discover great educational ideas which are perfect for parents and teachers.

If you say you are going to use Ice Pops for Science, you will have all eyes on you! What an ingenious way to learn about insulation.

This is an easy experiment where children can see ‘dirt blow bubbles.’

Capture their imagination by trying these Alice in Wonderland Science Experiments.

You can try this experiment any time of year, but it would be perfect for a Fall study on leaves. Watch the wonderment as your children make this discovery about leaves!

I love how simple, but informative these experiments are (esp. dirt bubbles and ice pop science) – perfect for our little ones to learn!!! Theresa – I totally agree with you…..the fact that I get to play too is one of my favorite parts of learning with the kids at home!!!

I can't wait to try some of this with my little guy. I think magnets would be a bit hit with him.
Thanks for the great list.

Hi Ellen.
I imagine your little guy will love magnets. It is so fun to discover what they 'stick' to around the house.

Great round up! Science activities are always fun! Thanks so much for participating in this blog hop for EHM! I know Jill really appreciates the support!
Theresa says
Thank you Shann Eva.
I hope you enjoy her experiments. I think we all go through things sometimes where we can use some extra help. I appreciated it so much when people guest posted for me about a year ago when I had my heart procedure!
