Hi! My name is Sarah, and this is my son Liam. He's actually 13 now. We still LOVE
playing around with science and STEM at home.
I shared a simple baking soda and vinegar science activity ten years ago with him. Since
then, we've been hooked! Together we have enjoyed 100s of science experiments that are
low cost, easy to set up, and just plain FUN!
I always aim to provide the BEST science activities and STEM projects that fit your time
and budget! We hope you enjoy the materials we have put together for you today!
