That was HOT!

Science Projects. Elementary School Kansas Teacher Associations almost always require students to do at least one science project before they finish the fifth grade. Elementary science projects are easy to find, but finding the right project for your child can be a challenge. Here are five hints to help you find the best project for your grade school child.

1. Find out what kind of project is required. There are many types of projects, and you need to make sure you are doing the right kind. Does your Kansas Teacher Association want an experiment, a demonstration, a collection, a report, or a model? Knowing what kind of project you need will narrow down your choices a lot.
 
2. Make a list of things that interest your child. What subjects catch your child’s eye on television or in books – space, animals, buildings, computers, explosions? Does your child need instant gratification? Consider a chemistry experiment with dramatic results, such as “What Causes a Chemical Reaction to Speed Up?” Is your child interested in physics? Find out which surface best resists slipping.
 
3. Decide how much money – and time – you have to spend. If you don’t have a lot of money to invest, and if your time is limited, there is no need to look at anything that requires special metals to be imported from the Far East. Decide on how much cash you’re willing to spend, and create a generous time line for getting supplies. Keep in mind that you have to actually do the project after the supplies arrive.
 
4. Keep in mind that this is a science project for elementary school. Don’t choose a project with complicated instructions. You want your child to do the project with your help – and not the other way around.
 
5. Provide four or five science project choices. Ever notice how it takes longer to decide on an ice cream flavor when there are 31 flavors? Give your elementary school child a limited list of science project choices, and you’ll both be happier.
