If there is one thing I’ve learned in my 9 years of homeschooling it’s that Science doesn’t have to be daunting….it really doesn’t! That is why I’m thrilled to announce the release of a brand new series called, “Smart Start Science.”
Smart Start Scienceis a new and engaging series of Low-Prep, Hands-On experiments and activities designed for K-2 students. This specific pack, “Experiments for St. Patrick’s Day” includes five complete experiments and follow up activities that are sure to add a little color to your classroom.
St. Patrick’s Day Experiments:
-Cultivating Clovers (Plant & Life Cycle)
-Traveling Rainbow (Capilary Action & Color Mixing)
-How Much Gold Can One Boat Hold (Engineering & Data Graphing)
-Lucky Scoop (Prediction, Graphing and Data Analysis)
-Super Shiny Coins (Chemical Mixing & Reactions)
Experiment #1: Cultivating Clovers
Students plant their own pot of clovers, track growth and learn the plant life-cycle.
Experiment #2: The Traveling Rainbow
With this super simple experiment children learn about capillary action and color mixing.
Experiment #3
Students build three different boats and put them to the test.
The boat that holds the most gold wins!
Experiment # 4: Super Shiny Gold
Leprechauns want their gold super shiny and this experiment will lead students through a test to see which chemicals will react together to make the perfect cleaning solution.
Experiment #5: Lucky Scoop
Students estimate and graph how many lucky marshmallows they find in their scoop!

I LOVE this! I love all things rainbow and love finding ways to turn holidays into a learning opportunity. I also love how the scientific method is included.
I love that all of the science in the book is centered around the holiday. My kindergartener loves looking forward to each holiday, and right now she is focused on St. Patrick’s Day. This is perfect!
From the pictures, these look like fun and easy experiments to do at home! Also, looks like a fun way to teach the scientific method! I would definitely love to win one of those books and work on teaching science at home with my daughter!
The layout of this Science Curriculum looks fun and inviting for kiddos! I like that the experiments have a diverse focus and that it is tailored appropriately to kids this age.
The traveling rainbow experiment looks like so much fun and I know kids would LOVE that one for sure, along with all the others. They are always so excited to do science experiments!
This so adorable! It is a unique way to present tou your kids the nature of the science. At this age children only know the profession of doctor, and not other scientists. It’s a great way to learn that there is something more. My niece loves flowers very much and she would like to have a microscope!!!
Love the theme of St Patrick’s Day here! I’ve wanted to do some color experiments with the kids for the holiday, so this inspiring! And I hadn’t thought of the penny (copper) experiment. Thanks for putting this together for us!
My Kindergarteners will love all of your Science Experiments. Science is the window to exploration and fun. And I want my students to enjoy it all.Thank you!
