Ask β€œI wonder…”, then go and find out

Kitchen experiments, nature walks, magnets and circuits, then a real science-fair project. You're the lab partner, not the teacher, and nobody minds a bit of mess.

Who it's for

  • βœ” Your child asks β€œwhy?” about everything
  • βœ” You want weekend activities that are cheap and hands-on
  • βœ” There's a school science fair coming up
  • βœ” You'd love to rediscover the science you forgot from school

Heads up: Some experiments need adult supervision and a bit of tidying up afterwards.

What you'll get

  • 🌟 A habit of asking questions and making predictions
  • 🌟 Lots of safe kitchen experiments done and recorded
  • 🌟 A nature journal and simple physics they've built themselves
  • 🌟 A fair test planned, run and shared as a science-fair project

The fun part: together

  • 🀝 Both write down a prediction before every experiment
  • 🀝 Go on a nature walk with a notebook each
  • 🀝 Present your science-fair project to the family over dinner

What families say

No reviews yet. Families on this journey can share how it's going.

    Questions parents ask

    Do we need a science kit? οΌ‹

    No. Most experiments use things already in the kitchen or garden.

    Are the experiments safe? οΌ‹

    They're chosen to be low-risk, but a grown-up should always be there and handle anything hot or sharp.
