Letting Your Kids Do Their Science Projects

Part of the wonder of being a child is being able to discover and create on your own. This is why everything from block to LEGO's to action figures to make your own jewelry sets were created. Kid's love to make things, may it be using actual supplies or just imagination, so that they can grow as a person. Because of this it is off the upmost importance to let children do their own school projects like Science Projects and construction models. It seems almost criminal when parents do all the work for them.  It's like cheating them out of not only doing something on their own, but also having the sense of accomplishment which goes along with it.


Remember back when you were a child and you were assigned Science Projects for some upcoming science fair: how did you feel? You probably felt a little scared, but at the same time you also had a bit of wonder and interest. And while you might have welcomed a little bit of help from your parents, hopefully they left enough of it for you to do that you felt like you earned the A- you got from the teacher. Unfortunately, some parents feel like they need to take the lead and do the whole project for them.

Here's the problem with doing your Science Projects for your kids: they aren't going to learn anything. All they are going to learn, to be honest, is that their parents will be there to bail them out. Part of the intent of assigning a science project to a child is making them care about science and they will not get the full grasp of that if they don't work it out for themselves.

Of course, this is not to say that you can't help them a little bit here and there. If they are asking for your help on their Science Projects then you should help. If they need help working out some of the math or science, help them out. If they need help gluing stuff together, help with them that too.  Just don't fall into the trap of doing the whole darn thing for them. That won't do anything good for them long term.

An Extreme Volcano Science Project

By Jay A. Jenkin
Everyone has heard of the classic volcano science project using vinegar, baking soda, and a little bit of red food coloring. This little experiment, however, is a little more extreme, and a little more realistic (do not worry, it is not actually dangerous!). This guide will teach you how to create a volcano project that really erupts with some force.

An Easy Science Project On the Effect of Cutting Rainforests

By Magrietha Du Plessis
Lets do a "green" science project As we are all aware, we have to care for our planet of we want to prevent all kinds of catastrophes to happen. Using a wide variety of easy experiments we can learn about the earth around us and what we can do to preserve it. Today we are going to look at soil erosion.

Easy Science Projects for Kids

By Garry L. Neale
It's important for kids to get involved in science from an early age, as exposure to scientific ideas and the world of exploration as soon as possible is the best way to foster a love for learning in your children that will last a lifetime. At the same time, scientific knowledge is cumulative, so kids have to start with a solid foundation if they are to develop the necessary scientific skills to succeed in school, and perhaps in a future career.
