The family that experiments together...

Whether it is STEM Sunday, Mad Science Saturday, Mad Monday, or Hypothesis Thursday, pick a day and a time every week and create a STEM tradition. Role modelling is important, so make sure this is a family activity not just something for the kids (and Dads - make sure you are sharing and not hogging all the fun), worst case is that parents will have fun and learn something too! Remember that Youtube is full of science experiments that gloss over the dangers, so it is important to show kids that having a responsible adult helping is an important part of experimentation.

Here you will find Home Lab experiments broken down by month along with special ones celebrating particular events throughout the year. Click on the label to get a printable instruction sheet including the materials you will need to collect ahead of time, and watch the video for the walk-through, then try it out for yourself. Feel free to skip a lab if you don't feel it is a good fit for your family, switch it out for a different one, or draw upon our web resources if you run out!
