There’s no better time for scientific exploration!

The school year may be winding to a close, but summer break doesn’t have to be a vacation from learning science! Warmer weather is the perfect opportunity for students of all ages to get outside and explore the world around them. Whether you want some sweet summer science activities, more info about why beach sand compresses underneath your feet, or the science behind grilling the perfect summer meal, there are endless ways to incorporate exploration and discovery into your summer relaxation.

If you know any scientists in grades K-8, our You Be The Chemist® Activity Guides are a great way to explore scientific concepts using easy-to-find, inexpensive household items! They’re free to download online and would make a great addition to any vacation, staycation, or long weekend – wherever you find yourself!
