18 Cool Science Experiments and Space Crafts

January 27, 2017 by AllFreeKidsCrafts

A new semester of school has begun, and with it comes the question, “How do I get kids interested in learning?” If you’re looking for experiments for kids that will introduce them to the wonders of science, then these 18 Cool Science Experiments and Space Crafts for Kids are for you! One of my favorite science experiments from school involved growing peas and exposing them to various amounts of light. Now, I absolutely love growing and learning about plants, and it’s all thanks to those science projects from my biology class. If you have a hard time getting children excited about science, then hands-on educational activities are your solution. What was once a boring lecture is now an exciting adventure. Sounds cool, right?

Maybe you want to take your kids to galaxies beyond our own. After all, it’s one of the best ways to get kids indulging in their curiosity because outer space is full of possibilities. Starting at a young age, you can teach little ones about rocket ships and how they aid astronauts in their flight to space. Then, as they get older, you can introduce them to the planets and their unique names and characteristics. Once their passion for the cosmos has evolved, you can tie in a little chemistry with outer space crafts that actually glow in the dark. You know the best part about space crafts for kids? You don’t have to travel light years away to bring the galaxy close to home.
