Outdoor and Nature Science Experiments

Outdoor and Nature Science Experiments

• Grow a bean in a clear cup to watch the roots grow down and the stem grow up.
• Craft a duck call by cutting the ends of a straw into a point, then blow.
• Set up a row of bottles with varying amounts of liquid and then blow across the openings to hear the different tones.
• Make a sundial by placing a stick in a vertical position and a circle of rocks around it marking each hour.
• Cut ice in half using a fishing wire—the pressure melts the ice faster than the air.
• Make a rainbow by holding a glass of water up to the sunlight with a sheet of paper behind it to catch the colors.
• Create a tornado in a bottle by taping two plastic bottles together neck to neck—one filled, the other empty—and swirling it quickly.
• S’more science please! Harness the power of the sun and turn a pizza box into a solar oven and roast some delicious treats for the whole family.
