The Challenge of Finding Homeschool Science Projects

Given the state of the education system these days many parents prefer to home school their children. There is an ongoing debate about just how good or bad this is. It is believed that children may miss out on social interaction, and organized activities if they are home schooled. Yet there is also the fact that children can learn in a secure and loving atmosphere if they are taught at home by their parents.

Naturally the debate is still out and no way near a conclusion. Home schooling is becoming more popular as more parents decide to follow the system. If your parents have been home schooling you, may be one of the things that you miss is having an organized science lab where you can do experiments.  If you think you are restricted by the lack of a lab, think again.

You have the whole house to do your experiments in. There is a lot more that you can do at home than what you can do in school. All you need is the right set of ideas to get you going. Remember experiments are all a way of reinforcing whatever theory you have read. So any activity that helps you practice that theory is in fact an experiment that can be a science project.

Now think of activities that you can do at home easily. Things that are fun to do and that you enjoy can also be turned into experiments. Even something as simple as blowing bubbles can be part of a science project! No kidding. Here is how you can make the bubbles you blow a part of a science experiment. I am sure you will have a lot of fun doing it, just make sure a parent is supervising.
