Activity Bags ~ "Where fun and education fit in the same bag."

REVIEWS

It’s a bit of work at first, but if you do a little each day and share the work with a group of friends you are done! You’ve got science experiments for a year (except for a few perishables) ready to go. You can dig deeper by getting books at the library. ~ Bobbie B .

This is an inexpensive way to add hands on work to your science curriculum. I love that each person has to focus on supplies for ONE experiment, yet you get 20 for the effort! ~ Kelly P.


We LOVED the Science in a Bag experiments! They are so perfect for my little scientists who can't yet read well; I only need read them the instructions, which are very simple and easy to understand, and they can set off to experiment. They have enjoyed most of them very much, but the ones they REALLY enjoy, they remember how to do and ask to do them on their own over and over. The kits have been great as summer or school break activities, and I've been able to use several to match up to what we are studying, making it so easy for me to prepare a science lesson. For children who are reading and writing well, these would be great independent lessons too! ~ Lisa W.


The bags were easy to assemble; and I can’t wait for the other experiments to do with my children. ~ Karen G.

Science Experiments in a Bag - ebook #1 was written by Sherri MacLean, co-author of Preschool Activities in a Bag - Books 1 & 2. Sherri is a home schooling mom who was looking for an easy, inexpensive way to do science experiments with her children. "I dreaded doing science experiments because having to gather all the supplies was such a hassle, and half the time we did not have everything we needed to complete even one experiment at home. I wanted the science experiments to be easy enough for the kids do on their own, but I also wanted them to be challenging so they would need my help occasionally. Science Experiments in a Bag was my solution. It worked with Preschool Activities in a Bag, so why not science experiments?" Once assembled, everything you need, minus perishables is inside the bag!

Science Experiments in a Bag engages young children. It has experiments they can see, touch, manipulate, and modify; situations that allow them to figure out what happens--in short, events and puzzles that they can investigate, which is the very stuff of science. All the experiments have been tested by a group of moms and they work great! But most importantly, kids of all ages are observing, asking questions, learning science, and loving it! And, science experiments are not a hassle anymore, because it's all in the bag!
