Cultivate Simple Delights

Exploring the natural world is one of the best ways to spark curiosity in your homeschool and with this activity children get to learn all about the importance of healthy soil as we take science into the garden with simple experiments you can do at home.

Plants need sunlight to grow, but can they survive or even thrive without it? That is what we are going to find out with this fun homeschooling science experiment that allows students to understand the importance of sunlight, make a hypothesis, observe what happens, and record their conclusions.

Soil is more than just dirt beneath our feet. It is a living, breathing ecosystem that supports plants, insects, and microorganisms. Plus it offers a great opportunity to teach young gardeners all about soil health, drainage, and PH levels with a fun activity that allows them to get their hands dirty.

Many people think that plants stay still, however, plants will actually lean toward the sun and it's a fun observational science experiment that you can try with your kids to learn more about plant science at home.

If you grow basil in your garden, you know how quickly it can go from fresh and vibrant to wilted and brown. Instead of letting your basil go to waste, try making a homemade basil butter with your homeschoolers. It's easy to do and a fun way to use your harvested herbs in a new recipe.
