Sensory play<\/a> meets explorative science with this nature-based<\/a> backyard science experiment.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\"What<\/p>\n

Science experiments don’t have to be complicated! Sometimes the simplest things can enthrall young kids. My 3.5 year old<\/a> daughter Bumble Bee loved this backyard dirt observation activity so much that we’ve done it several times now, and it’s been interesting to notice how the results have varied each time.<\/p>\n

My daughter’s interest in the scientific method has been recently kindled by the book 11 Science Experiments That Failed<\/a>, and so we followed the scientific method for this backyard dirt experiment too, which of course, makes it feel extra science-y. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
