Fun history and science activities to do at home

A copper penny

Quatr.us Study Guides has piles of fun, simple activities you can do to illlustrate historical and scientific points. I’ll start with our biology activities – each activity is linked to one or more simple articles that explain the principle, and then the activity illustrates that principle. Some are as simple as looking at leaves; others are as complicated as building your own pinhole camera (still not that hard!). Most require nothing you can’t find around the house, in the park, or at your grocery store. I’ll start with biology and chemistry activities, and I’ll post more soon. If you have comments or questions about these, I’d be happy to answer them – ask in the comments!
