Richard Byrne provides a number of links to websites that have great hands-on activities for students to learn science. The sites include:
* Science is Fun - 25 chemistry experiments geared to students in grades 4 - 9
* Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago has activities in twelve topics. You will find experiments for students preK through grade 12.
* Discover the World is from NOAA. A total of 43 experiments which are probably best for grades 4 - 8.
* Squishy Circuits. Learn how to create the "dough" to create these circuits and watch a TedEd to learn more.
There are many ideas to be found in this post and lots of fun for your students to experience while they explore and learn science!
