15 Spring STEM Activities for Homeschoolers

This post may contain an affiliate link.

My daughter loves doing STEM projects (science, technology, engineering and math)!  So much so, that one moment you’ll find her building a science kit in the backyard, while another minute she’s playing with Magnatiles in her bedroom.  She also enjoys taking STEM classes on Outschool.com and attending a twice-a-week local STEAM program for homeschoolers.

I like to support my children in all of their efforts, especially when it comes to science and engineering.  That’s why I picked these 15 Spring STEM Projects for Homeschoolers to help keep little scientists engaged, learning and well-prepared for the 21st century.  Not only are these spring science experiments good for homeschoolers, but they’re also great for classrooms, scout troops and after school clubs.

And if you’re looking for even more science activities, try these additional 25 Easy STEM Activities For Homeschoolers and 13 Outdoor Science Experiments For Homeschoolers!

Happy STEM-inventing!
