Science Week is here! Time to Experiment.

Updated: Jun 19, 2023

We are excited to start the second week with some fun science activities!

Grab your thinking cap, and let's get to experimenting. This week you're an Inventor!


“An inventor fails 999 times, and if he succeeds once, he's in. He treats his failures as simply practice shots.”

--Charles F.Kettering.



Activity One

Become an Inventor:

Let's become an inventor! Is there anything that you would like to change? Is there something that works differently than you think it should? What would you do to make it better? Create your prototype using household items. A prototype is the first model typically created of a new invention to show your new idea.

View the video below to see some of the invention ideas of Kid President. Then, get started on your new creation and use any materials needed.



Once you have completed your invention, add a picture to the Show Your Creation section.



Activity Two
