Ok so I teach first grade and I was looking up lessons for when I am on maternity leave and came across this fun website. I of course was looking at things for first graders 5-7 years old. They have tons of way fun experiments for kids of all ages. Most of them are things that work better for a small group at home, not really for my class. So I thought I would pass it on to those of you who have little tikes eager to learn science in a fun way.
