There are TONS of easy-to-lead, open-ended and creative science activities that we use all the time at the museum, for after-school groups and drop-in programs. <br /><br />My favorite thing about them is that they are all based around everyday materials like newspaper and drinking straws - it's great to share something with kids that they can continue exploring at home.<br /><br />Here are the two pages in the PBS site where we find the science activities we use:<br /><br />Fetch!
