Complete a Science Project
8 weeks · 3 milestones
Design and carry out a hands-on experiment — growing plants, testing materials, observing animals, or anything you're curious about. Share what you predicted, what happened, and what surprised you. A photo of the project is enough proof — no formal report required.

A science project starts with a specific question — not a topic, but something a child can actually investigate. The prediction (what I think will happen, and why) is the step that makes the experiment meaningful: it creates a before-state that can be compared to the result. For K-5, the question should be testable with household materials and observable within a few weeks.
Proof required
Write the specific science question your child chose. Write their prediction: what they think will happen and why. List the materials they will need. A parent or teacher confirms the child chose the question themselves.
What gets checked
- Question is specific enough to investigate — 'What is science?' is a topic; 'What happens to a plant if we put it in the dark for five days?' is an investigable question
- Prediction states both what the child thinks will happen AND a reason for the prediction — 'I think it will die because plants need light to live' is a prediction with a reason
- Materials list names at least one specific item needed to do the investigation
