Created by educator Emma Vanstone and blogger Kerry Farrow, Science Sparks! is a blog that lives up to its motto of "making science fun for kids." The site curates a variety of at-home activities that are both delightful and informative. Activities are categorized by age level (Early Years Science and Primary Science), as well as some more general themes (Science Projects, STEM Challenges, and Holiday Science). Each broader topic is further divided into subtopics, helping readers find just what they are looking for. For example, those feeling festive may want to venture to the Holiday Science section. Here, readers will discover spooky potion and slime recipes to celebrate Halloween and science-themed crafts that make for great Christmas gifts. LEGO enthusiasts will want to pay a visit to the LEGO Science Experiments section, a subtopic of Primary Science with more than a dozen posts suggesting ways to combine LEGOS and learning. At the very top of the website, readers will find a variety of other resources: science fair project ideas, experiments, and much more. Educators may be particularly interested in the Worksheets page, also linked at the top of the site.
