Science is All Around You - You Can Do Science At Home!
While you're stuck at home, don't forget to do some science. What you'll find here are links to a bunch of online resources that will allow you to do science with your students at home. I've curated the links below to make sure they are appropriate for our students and the materials should (mostly) be readily available at your house.
Hopefully this will allow you to enrich your student's education and stave off boredom. Middle School Students - I have a page just for you with more advanced at-home science. |

At Home Science By Categories
PhysicsWant to learn about actions & reactions? Try building a Rube Goldberg Machine. Here is the one we built in the garage. This is a great FAMILY project.
If you build one, please send me a video and I'll post it here. |
Earth Sciences
Learn about how ocean currents are created with this experiment. Or watch the video here to see this experiment in action.
This site has several more earth science activities you may have the materials to try. |
BiologyClick here for a number of plant-based experiments for students of all ages.

Engineering
Help Teaching has a great list of links to a wide variety of engineering projects most of which you probably have the supplies for at home. Remember, most engineering challenges can work for multiple ages by making the goal easier or more challenging.
