[wp_ad_camp_2] Basic Earth Science Projects For Kids An erupting volcano project was the goal, so now that we decided how to make a volcano there are several ways to make it erupt. Here are the links to building the model volcano if you missed that step: Paper mache volcano Home-made play dough model volcano Moist …
A New Look At The World Around Us! Magnet Second Grade Science Projects Series One of the earlier projects discusses what a compass does, but if the magnet-science-projects page is right, shouldn’t we be able to make a compass ourselves? Well, the answer is yes – if only we could make a magnet. So we’ll …
