Science Games for Kids: Young Scientists

Good science starts with a prediction and ends with evidence. In these games children run a fair test on the weather in a box, sample a river to find out what changed it, fix levers, pulleys and gears, sort living things with yes-or-no keys, build habitats for frogs, camels and polar bears, wire circuits and design bridges that hold. Each one asks children to predict, test and explain, the way scientists work. A printable sorting sheet on living and non-living things adds a hands-on start.
