Science Fun Challenge for Kids!

 

The Kids’ Science Challenge is a FREE nationwide competition (made possible by the National Science Foundation) for 3rd to 6th graders to submit experiments and problems for Scientists and Engineers to solve.

This year kids can enter their original ideas, experiments and problems relating to one of the following topics/categories:

1. Zero Waste – Can you invent a package that never ends up in a landfill

2. Animal Smarts – Can you design a toy, game or experiment that enhances the life of a pet or zoo animal and demonstrates its particular intelligence

3. Meals on Mars – Can you come up with a new way to preserve, cook, deliver or sustainably produce food in flight or on Mars?

The winning student in each category will then have the opportunity to meet and work with the respective scientist, and also will win some great prizes.

If your active child is into science entering this competition could be a lot of fun, and who knows, they just might win!!! Also, this contest is open to all students in grades 3-6, and homeschoolers are included!
