Science Corner: Holiday Science Projects

December 18, 2012 by Paige Hudson

Links to lots of holiday science projects | Elemental BloggingThere is a lot of buzz around the internet about the holidays, including a fair amount of ideas for weaving science into your festivities.

I thought that this year I would share with you a list of holiday science projects that I have compiled to use with my children this season.

Links to Holiday Science Projects

  • Reduce, Reuse, Recycle at Christmastime: The Homeschool Scientist has some great ideas for repurposing the materials you have at in your home for an environmental friendly Christmas holiday.
  • Winter Science Fun: In this 2011 Science Corner post, I shared about how to make your own snowflakes using Borax crystals.  You can use this holiday science project as an ornament, a decoration in your house or a window hanging.
  • Holiday Carols with a Science Spin: I haven’t listened to each and everyone of these yet, but I love the idea of mixing Christmas carols with science!
  • Holiday Science Pinterest Board: Steve Spangler has great ideas for science year round, but this particular board is dedicated to science fun during the holidays.
  • More Winter Science Fun: In this 2012 Science Corner post, I shared an experiment to explore how salt affects the freezing temperature of water.
  • Kitchen Science ~ Christmas Peppermint Creams: Science Sparks has some great ideas for preschool science.  In this particular post, they share a fun and tasty scientific treat for the holidays!
  • Play with Owl Puke: This post from PBS shares some unusual science gifts that you can give your children for Christmas, including owl puke.

This will be the last Science Corner post for this year, which is hard to believe!

We will return the second week in January with a beginning look at the Science Fair Project.

Welcome to the Elemental Blogging Laboratory

 
profile picWelcome to the Elemental Blogging Laboratory, a.k.a. the Eb Lab. Here at the lab, I have the pleasure of sharing with you all my passion for mixing up solutions for homeschool science! My name is Paige Hudson. I am a homeschooling mom and science curriculum writer for Elemental Science.
 
Why do I call this blog the "Eb Lab"? It is because I am scientist at heart and by profession, so it pretty much spills into everything I do. I love to share tips and tools with fellow educators as they seek to share science with their students!
 
That is what this blog is all about. One homeschooler to another, sharing her area of expertise, seeking to support you as you teach your students about the wonders of science.
 
So, grab your lab coat, notebook, and goggles...well maybe not the goggles because let's face it nobody looks good in those...and you probably don't have a lab coat lying around your house either...
 
So, grab a cup of coffee and notebook, and head on in to the Eb Lab to gather tools for homeschool science, tips for homeschooling, and the latest Elemental Science news!
