Growing Young Scientists, One Backyard at a Time! 🍂🔬

Welcome to Backyard Science! 🌿✨

I am a firm believer that all learning doesn't have to take place inside a classroom or behind a screen. My mission is to get kids unplugged, outdoors, and deeply engaged with the natural world around them.

These first four printable fall science labs are designed to turn your everyday backyard into an exciting, hands-on outdoor laboratory! Perfect for elementary and middle school kids, each activity encourages real exploration: from pumpkin and seed investigations to tree bark rubbings, bird feeding experiments, and nature scavenger hunts.

Let's make learning an adventure this season! Available now on my Ko-fi for just $2.50 each (link in bio). 🤎
