Kindergarten Science Projects (56 results)

Science Buddies' kindergarten science projects are the perfect way for kindergarten students to have fun exploring science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Our kindergarten projects are written and tested by scientists and are specifically created for use by students in kindergarten. Students can choose to follow the science experiment as written or put their own spin on the project.

For a personalized list of science projects, kindergarten students can use the Science Buddies Topic Selection Wizard. The wizard asks students to respond to a series of simple statements and then uses their answers to recommend age-appropriate projects that fit their interests.

Model Water Flow in Rivers Read More Show Others Like This Science Fair Project Idea Have you ever seen a river from far above? It is fascinating how they carve their way through the landscape. But what makes the water in a river flow? Where does a river start and end? And why is it that rivers usually have lots of turns or bends and almost never flow straight? In this science project, you will make river models using aluminum foil and water to explore how water flow inside a river changes based on its shape. Read more Build a Bird Feeder and Study the Birds in Your Backyard! Read More Show Others Like This Science Fair Project Idea In this fun science project, you will create a bird feeder from recycled materials that you can set up outside. By observing the birds that come to the bird feeder, you will find out what different kinds of birds live in your area. How many different kinds of birds do you think you will spot? Read more Kaleidoscope Science Read More Show Others Like This Science Fair Project Idea A kaleidoscope is a fun toy that creates amazing images when you look into it. Wouldn't it be fun to create those images yourself? Check out this project to learn how to build your own kaleidoscope and to learn how the inside of a kaleidoscope works. Then you can create and adjust your own amazing, colorful images! Read more Electric Play Dough Project 1: Make Your Play Dough Light Up & Buzz! Read More Show Others Like This Project Kit Available Science Fair Project Idea Do you like playing with play dough; or modeling clay? Wouldn't it be cool if you could add lights, sound, or even motion to your play dough creations? In this project, you will use play dough that conducts electricity, which will allow you to connect lights to your sculptures! This project is the first in a three-part series on play dough circuits, which can all be done with the same materials. We recommend doing the projects in order. Read more Fantastic Fossilization! Discover the Conditions For Creating the Best Cast Fossils Read More Show Others Like This Science Fair Project Idea Have you ever stood close to a fossilized T. rex skull and counted its razor-sharp teeth? Or, have you seen a fossilized stegosaurus skeleton and thought about how it defended itself with tail spikes and armored plates? A trip to a natural history museum lets you imagine what dinosaurs looked like and wonder what life with them on Earth was like. Fossils give us information about animals and plants that lived long ago. Certain places around the world contain more fossils than others. Why?… Read more Racing Bristlebots: On Your Mark. Get Set. Go! Read More Show Others Like This Project Kit Available Science Fair Project Idea Have you ever wanted to build your very own robot from scratch? Bristlebots are a cheap, easy, and fun-to-build robot made from the head of a toothbrush, a battery, and a small motor. Once completed, they buzz along the top of a table like bugs. How can you make a bristlebot go faster? In this project, you will build bristlebots from two different types of toothbrushes, and race them against each other to find out. Read more Glitter-Go-Round: Snow Globe Science with a Centrifuge Read More Show Others Like This Science Fair Project Idea It is fun to shake up a snow globe and watch the "snow" slowly fall. You can imagine that if the snow fell down very quickly it would be disappointing. But there are times when scientists in a laboratory want this to happen. Scientists use samples that have liquid mixed with small, solid pieces (like the inside of a snow globe), and they need all of the solid pieces in a clump, separated from the liquid. Instead of waiting for the pieces to slowly fall out of the liquid, scientists speed up… Read more Make Your Own Stethoscope Read More Show Others Like This Science Fair Project Idea Doctors use many complicated tools to check the health of patients. But you can make some medical tools at home—like a stethoscope! A doctor uses a stethoscope to listen to a patient's heart. In this science project, you will make three of your own homemade stethoscopes and figure out which stethoscope design works best and why. Read more Squirmy Wormy: Which Soil Type Do Earthworms Like Best? Read More Show Others Like This Science Fair Project Idea Do you think worms are gross? Or that they are only good for birds or fish to eat? Well, in this zoology science project, you will find out that this lowly animal helps to put food on your table, too, by all the hard work that it does in the dirt. In this science project, you will discover in what kind of soil it likes to do its work. It is wiggly good fun! Read more Jumping For Geodes: Can You Tell the Inside from the Outside? Read More Show Others Like This Science Fair Project Idea Have you ever heard the expression, "You can't judge a book by its cover"? What do you think that means? That a book with a very plain cover might have a very exciting and interesting story inside? Well, in this geology science project, you'll see if the same expression holds true for a rock, but not just any old rock, a special type of rock called a geode, which looks rather plain and ordinary on the outside, but inside can hold crystals and beautiful colors! You'll discover if the texture or… Read more 1 2 3 4 5 6 >
