When I think of science activities, I often just think of science experiments for the kids to do. But science is so much more than that. Its weather, and nature, and biology and so much more. I actually had a hard time when I jotted down areas of science. Science can also be classifying and sorting and physics, which all to me, tends to blend in with...
