Autumn is such a great time of year. I love the colourful leaves underfoot and the first hint of winter. To celebrate the changing seasons, I’ve pulled together a wonderful collection of Fall Science Experiments suitable for kids of all ages.

What we were hoping to show with this cool splatter pattern investigation was that a water balloon dropped from a greater height falls with more speed and has a bigger splatter pattern than a water balloon of the same size dropped from a lower height. As with many science investigations, we hit a few issues…
Welcome to Day 4 of our Spectacular Summer Science series. Today, we’ve been on a minibeast hunt. The girls are fascinated by all bugs and insects and are not the least bit squeamish. We downloaded some fun observation forms from Twinkl to make it more exciting and to encourage writing. S was thrilled to be…
