Spring Science Friday Favorites

~Spring Science Activities~

As much as I love the cozy days of winter, I’m kind of ready for a new season.
Ready for all the browns to be replaced with greens, for flowers to bloom, and the breezes to be warm.

Bring on the spring! 

There’s just something about the change of seasons that always energizes me….and err….it seems to have been genetic.
My kids tend to get that same “energy”.

Yep.  Spring Fever !

So, this week’s Friday Favorites are just a few fun Spring Science Activities
to change things up a bit and get the spring fever wiggles out.    🙂

*Note:
I know I usually post history resources, but Spring just brings out the wanna-be scientist in me!
If you are looking for some AMAZING science units (or even an entire curriculum), check out Kristin Moon Science.  Seriously, her resources are incredible.
Here’s my first Friday favorite from this site-  The Science of Spring

 

* Dancing with the Daffodils & Other Flower Power Ideas *

– Daffodil Disection (& other lovely related ideas) from Mama Scout
*I really love this mama’s reminder that real learning is the goal!

Seed success!  If you have never tried making a mini green house with a ziplock bag, a damp paper towel, and a seed, DO IT NOW!  This was such a fun experiment!  We got to see so many concepts happening before our eyes, including condensation and a mini ecosystem as the bag produced the perfect environment for the beans to sprout and grow!
