Elementary Science Fair Project - Moisture in Soil
Reference and Education: Science • Published: March 10, 2010
This is one of our very easy elementary science fair projects and any kid can do it very easily. Elementary science fair projects must be fun to do and a small kid must be able to see what happens in a relatively short time otherwise they lose interest.
Science Fair Projects - Grade One to Three - Is Gas Less Dense Than Water?
Reference and Education: Science • Published: April 28, 2009
It is very important that science fair projects grade one to three are still easy for the kids to do, yet very visual. They have to be able to "see" very clearly what happens to keep their interest. Science fair projects grade one to three must also be done in a short while as the little kids' concentration span is not very long yet.
Science Fair Food Projects - Some More Mold - Growing a Fungus Garden
Reference and Education: Science • Published: April 23, 2009
When we think of science fair food projects, most of us probably think of the bread mold project that has been done to death already. Well, here is one of our science fair food projects that look at more than only the fungus that grows on bread. There is still going to be bread in the mix though as we are going to grow a "fungus" garden.
Science Fair Projects Kids Will Love - What is Static Electricity?
Reference and Education: Science • Published: March 27, 2009
Here is one of our science fair projects kids enjoy a lot. It is easy and very visual. The little ones may not understand the concept of the electrons yet, but it is good to let experience it and later the explanation will make sense much easier as they are familiar with the effects already. This is an easy science fair project that is quick and easy to do!
Science Fair Projects Kids Will Think is Fun - Does Air Take Up Space?
Reference and Education: Science • Published: March 11, 2009
Do you want your kids to love science? If so, make sure they do science fair projects kids will find fun. Kids will not be interested in projects that are not very visual and that are not very easy to do. They want to see the results in a very short time, I've seen that over and over again with my little granddaughter Anabel. She loses interest very soon if things are moving too slow!

This article is a fun way of looking at how boats flow. Moat parents and especially homeschoolers are always on the lookout for easy science fair projects to do with the kids. Here is one of our very easy science fair projects to do with the kids. Kids find it fascinating to feel the upthrust of the water in the first one and love "sinking" their boat in the second one.
Easy Elementary Science Projects - Doing Tests With Yeast
Reference and Education: Science • Published: May 13, 2008
In this easy elementary science project we take a look at how yeast works. what is yeast? Why is it used in baking and in making beer? Yeast is a plant and it grows under the right circumstances. Do this fun experiment and find out what makes yeast grow and how we can use it. Come and see why science is of practical help to us.
Easy Elementary Science Projects - Air In The Soil Science Experiment

Why should easy elementary science projects be left only for science fairs? Science is fun, do this short and easy experiment with the kids and spend some quality time with them at the same time! This is ideal for homeschoolers and especially for unschoolers. The kids learn without even noticing it.
Easy Elementary Science Projects - Physical Changes Science Projects
Reference and Education: Science • Published: April 28, 2008
Doing easy elementary science projects with the kids can be fun and it does not only have to be done for science fairs. Kids love learning in a fun "Play" way and we can use easy elementary science projects to teach them about the wonders of science without them actually realizing that they are learning. Doing easy elementary science projects with the kids is also a great way for homeschoolers to teach the kids science. I think we must start doing a lot more "little" projects with the kids. Here are a few short fun ones to do with the kids.
