October is a great time to get started on a science project!
- There is still enough heat and sunlight to do solar based projects.
- Here in the great state of Texas, it is not too late to do plant-oriented science projects. You can get some gardening and a science project done!
- There is still plenty of time to consider different ideas to come up with that ideal project.
- Your child can go through several iterations of an experiment. You may find you could have done the experiment in a different, more interesting way. You may find the original idea was too ambitious or just plain no fun.
- There is no pressure. Lots of kids, if left alone, will naturally investigate and experiment. Those same kids, if pressured to come up with a topic will draw a blank.
- Halloween is a great science-oriented holiday, with things that glow in the dark, creepy-crawlies, things that fog and steam and lots of yummy candy to play with.
- It is before the holidays, so you can avoid the rush.
