Science activities for school holidays

How about learning about Science during your free time?

1. EcoKids This site provides games and activites on how to protect our environment. You can read up blogs on this topic too.


2.TryScience
Try out the experiments, field trips and adventures here!


3. Woodlands Science Zone

This site has many topics which pupils will learn starting from P3 in Singapore. I tried out the topic on Sound under Physical Processes. It links to this (below) which gives a brief explanation on what is sound.

So I decided to click on the game "Identify the sounds game" which links me to this site (below).


See, there are so many activities which I can have fun and learn at the same time.


4. Cool Science for Curious Kids
This is so cool with information and activities to do, especially the graphics!
