25 Amazing Kid-Approved Science Projects

If you asked me a day ago what my favorite subjects in school were, I would’ve told you they were history, art, music, writing, literature, humanities, composition, geography…. if you noticed, there is nothing about science or math in there, whatsoever. No way, no how! I am the WORST at science and math. Ugh, I really despised them honestly – until I saw these little science experiments on Pinterest. Did you know science could be so cool?! I know.
