Need science experiment ideas for the summer

[conuly]

Also, art projects that aren't all either "Uh, here are some supplies, get messy" or "These are the carefully cut out parts, please make yours exactly like mine". Gosh, I hate the latter. I want all teachers of young children to memorize the phrase "it's the process, not the product" and apply it religiously.

Anyway, trying to do some fun and lightly educational things over the summer to make up for forcing Eva to do - gasp! - math every day. (The math is not optional.)

do u have pets, do they like animals? you can do experiments such as 'does a hamster prefer (soend more time in) the part of the cage filled with sand, or with wood shavings? or is it easier to train a dog (rat, bird, etc) using voiced commands or hand signs, etc. This can incorporate formal or informal scientific method (this is my theory, this is how i'll test it, here's the results, here's what we learned from results, which prooves or disprooves the hypothesis...)
