Looking for seasonal science experiments and STEM activities? You’ll find what you’re looking for in this post!

This collection of science experiments and STEM activities will give you something to do every month of the year!

As we adjust to life as a family of eight, my blogging friends have been sharing fabulous guest posts!  This week we welcome the talented Jacquie of Edventures, where she features hands-on fun and learning activities for kids of all ages.

Here’s Jacquie…

Whether you know it or not, we are all raising junior scientists!

Kids have a knack for asking those inquisitive questions.  What, why and how are three words that help children to express their curiosity and show they are keenly observant and looking for answers.

Technology, engineering and math are constantly used while exploring many science concepts — which is why so many schools have moved to teaching “STEM” activities as part of their curriculum instead of science alone.

When introducing kids to STEM activities, the goal is less about finding the right answer and more about the process.  Science is one area where we all learn from failures!

This collection of seasonal, hands-on science experiments and STEM activities will inspire questions and exploration opportunities all year long!

Science Experiments with free printable activities

Each of the activities in this group focuses on fun seasonal experiences and includes a free printable to help facilitate the experiment!
