  1. A science project in kindergarden? Things have changed since I was in kindergarden (22 years ago).

    One good suggestion is showing how static electricity works using balloons. Depending on if you live in an area where it's been freezing cold, it'd be a perfect time to do that project, since the heat would be on in the building. Your daughter could rub a balloon on someone's clothes and then put it over their head so that the hair stands up on end.


  2. Do a plant growing experiment.  Plant some grass seed in half an eggshell.  Set one in a sunny window, one away from any sun, and one in a spot that get some sun.  See which one grows the best.

  3. Go to pet store.  get crickets like they feed to reptiles.  Have daughter see how far crickets can jump...length of a crayon?  less?  more?  write results.  turn in.  Make sure you tell 'em it was my idea!



    P. S. don't let all the crickets loose at once!  A few at a time, maybe.

  4. Your daughter can do a project on which makes ice melt faster  salt or pepper. I did this project in preschool when I was younger. Take salt and a ice cube then put it on one napkin. Put salt on it. Take another ice cube and put it on a different napkin. Put pepper on it. Which one melts faster?  I know already salt does. Hope this helps!

  5. Here is a good web site you can get some ideas from....have fun.

  6. the solar system?

  7. Why not just have her mix paint to make different colors?

    Yellow + blue = green

    red + blue = purple

    yellow + red = orange

    Topic: Mixing primary colors to make secondary colors!

  8. An estimation project!

    Very fun for little kids (and big kids)

    Egg-bungee-jump

    I listed a pbs site, but there are plenty of others.

    Kindergarteners, with assistance, will most likely be able to write numbers for the predictions.

    And possibly make a chart, with help. ;)

    There are easy ways to simplify this into a kindergarten level.

    -no reason to explain variables x and y.

    -chart should be simple to understand.

    -explain how to predict, estimate...

    -explain mass or weight of egg and possible "trial-fake egg"

    -most of all, have fun, don't stress about mess

    My class used:

    -nylon stocking or "fruit-produce netting" to "harness" egg

    -a few eggs (old, or new)

    -several rubber bands, (up to 18 rubberbands for 7ft5in)

    -about 2 or 3 yard sticks (or use one yardstick to make tall height chart, using masking tape, mark measurements)

    -outside or indoors.

  9. put corn syrup in a cup with water . the corn syrup will float. to make this better, drop food coloring into the corn syrup while it is floating. observe. reason- density (@ least for the floating part)

  10. Anything that can be graphed would be a suitable project for a kindergarten aged child.  For example, toss a coin 100 times and record how many heads and how many tails.  Another example: go back and look at weather reports for the last month, record and graph the temperatures.  

    When my daughter was in kindergarten (25 years ago) we graphed the distances that "hot air popcorn" flew from the popper/with the lid off.  She had her pre-experiment predictions at the top of the poster, added some actual measurements, and decorated her project.  Her dad and I helped with the lettering.

    Keep the project simple enough for your child to actually participate and feel like it is her work.  Otherwise, YOU may find yourself doing a science fair project when she's 12!!!

  11. let her plant peas in a clear plastic cup with wet cotton, then let her plant another set of peas in dry cotton... allow her to write down the different stages of each cup...lable the A and B.   she wil then understand that the peas need water in order to germinate.. so she should have 2 sets of procedure and the stages if any takes place.....

    all the best

  12. I like the experiment with celery where you put food coloring in the water and then place a stalk of celery in over night.  Cut the celery on the bottom for a clean cut.  You can do a couple of different colors for effect.  It represents how plants get their nutrients to grow.

    Plants don't have mouths like humans and they have very little "leaves" to absorb sunlight, and rain water.  The roots combine with a shaft like, hollow rib inside the celery that allows nutrients to move up and be absorbed by the plant....  

    You could do a variation on this by placing identical sized pieces in three different glasses filled with different food coloring and place one in the freezer, one in the frig and leave one out on the counter and observe the results after 24 hours.

    OR

    You could still use the two different glasses and put one on a sunny windowsill and the other in a closet and observe after 24 hours...

    You can also use white carnations which are very pretty!!

    Hint:  Do this a couple of days before it's due to see how vivid you want the end colors to be.  (adding more food coloring or less).
