#EASY PHYSICS EXPERIMENTS PLUS#
Plus there are a LOT less distractions outside than there are indoors 🙂Īnd then there’s the whole ‘get outdoors and enjoy some fresh air’ while burning off a little energy philosophy too.Īnd remember our house rule - it’s so much better to be in a wide open area if you’re planning to have something splash, explode or fly into the air 😉 The backyard naturally lends itself to many ecology, nature and geology experiments but it’s also the perfect place to explore physics, chemistry, zoology and astronomy too! Why do Outdoor Science Experiments with Kids?
#EASY PHYSICS EXPERIMENTS HOW TO#
So today I’m going to show you how to create an amazing Backyard Science Lab that will keep your kids inspired to experiment - all for less than $10! We grab a few of our much-loved outdoor science tools and head outside to experiment. I absolutely LOVE it because every Spring, Summer and Fall, we transform our backyard into this AWESOME science lab! So the next time we were ready to do an experiment, my son said “Aren’t we going to do this in the backyard?”Īnd that’s how Backyard Science began and we haven’t looked back! You know those times when you say something out of desperation because you’re not sure how you’ll deal with one more mess, right? When my son was younger, we would do quite a few of the projects inside since his little sister was a baby.īut then one day, I had this ‘Mom moment’ when I was cleaning up a mess for like the millionth time that week and I just made a “new house rule” - If it splatters, stains, smokes or stinks, we do it outside!
This wasn’t always the case - in fact, it came about quite by accident but we now LOVE doing easy outdoor science activities!Ģ0 Backyard Science Experiments & Outdoor Science Activities
