What can your young scientist find in his/her garden?


Now it's summertime and you've exhausted the indoor science challenges for your young scientists ( making marble runs, flip-flops, helicopters, etc. etc ), here's a challenging list of things for your young scientist(s) to find in the garden around your home, with a simple instruction  "Here, see what you can find outside in the garden."




Hey, don't disturb the area outside your kitchen door. Remember it's home to many tiny creatures.

Can YOU find?


  • Something green?
  • Something red?
  • Something yellow?
  • Something pointy?
  • A blade of grass LONGER than your index finger?
  • An animal track?
  • A pine cone eaten by a squirrel?
  • A pebble smaller than a dime?
  • A pebble the same size as a quarter?
  • A gray pebble?
  •  A spider web?
  • A pillbug?
  • Something a bird would eat?
  • A leaf skeleton?
  • A flower seed?
  • Something really, REALLY cool?
