There are many things that you can do to help you children learn. You can help your children learn by doing science projects. Science projects can help your children learn and have fun. Science projects can do it all. One way that you can learn and have fun while doing science projects is, to find something that your kids are interested in. If you find something that your child is interested in they will want to learn about the science project and they will have fun doing it.

Another way that science projects can help your kids learn and have fun is by taking them on adventures. Take them on a nature walk. Taking them on a nature walk will help your kids to have fun, as it gets them out of the house and doing something physical. Science is a subject that has a lot of different applications. There is science involved in almost everything that we do, although most of the times we do not even realize that we are thinking scientifically. As the backbone of science, the scientific method is something that we all use. The scientific method outlines the process that we go through to solve problems and come to conclusions. The scientific process involves having a question, formulating a theory (also referred to as a hypothesis) about the answer, testing your theory and determining if you were right. Many times we go through all of the steps in the scientific method in a matter of seconds. For example, we start with the problem of not being able to find the car keys, we formulate a theory that they are on the kitchen table, and we go to the table to see if our theory is right. If the experiment was a success and we find out keys on the table we move on to tackle our next task, if we were wrong in our theory and the keys are not on the table we have to formulate a new theory as to where they may be and repeat the process until we have ended with the desired result (which in this case is finding the keys). So you see, we use science whether or not we even mean to. This is why learning science is so important for our children. Having an understanding of basic scientific principles will not only help them succeed in their science class but it will help them in all of their school subjects. Below are just a few examples of how the benefits of science cross into multiple subjects in school and life.

Math

Many time mathematical concepts are vital to science experiments. When dealing with precise measurements in order to achieve a specific reaction, a child must learn how to accurately count, measure, and dispense a certain material. Many times charts and graphs are important tools that are used to reflect scientific findings. Knowledge of statistics and geography can be developed though charting the progress of your science project.

English

Many times a science project is accompanied by a repot. A science report includes all of the basic formatting skills needed to formulate a paper for any class. Practicing good writing and spelling skills are certainly going to give your child a big advantage as he progresses through school.

Reading

Researching and reading about a specific experiment is an important way to prepare for an experiment and to test your hypothesis. Many times a science project may include ideas or concepts that you and your child are unfamiliar with. Learning how to read and research information is invaluable when it comes to understanding the explanations that are given in any school subject.

Physical Education

Physical science and biology (yet another subject science has applications in) put an educational twist on education even when it comes to P.E. class. When your child has researched and experimented (safely of course) how their body works, suddenly playing basketball at recess is more interesting and the cut that you may get on the playground is a chance to learn about the process of clotting blood. Science can turn even unpleasant experiences into valuable opportunities to learn something interesting.
