Whoohoo! I love using these beginning of the year science activities to get kids excited about science. Check out experiments, like dissolving Skittles, that are perfect for teaching elementary kids about the steps of the scientific method. Get free printable worksheet pages and book ideas for introducing kids to different science concepts and scientists. Find activity and bulletin board ideas for your What Is A Scientist? lesson. These activities are great for 1st, 2nd, & 3rd grade.
