Science is fun!

Keeping the kids entertained and learning at the same time is a challenge — but it can be done! We've rounded up eight fun and messy science experiments that you can do outside, right in your own back yard. Your kids can create bouncy balls and baking-soda volcanoes, explode sandwich bags and create electricity from lemons. They won’t even realize they are learning because they’ll be having so much fun!

Use the arrows above the images to scroll through all the fun ideas.
