We have been having fun at our house lately with some simple science activities like an ice cube experiment and rising raisins. So I am excited to share these 10 Science Activities for kids. If you are feeling intimidated by teaching science concepts to your kids (it was never my best subject at school) you are not alone. But these science activities are easy to understand and explain so you can feel confident.
