What kind of experiments or fun activities can I do to introduce science to young students?

Hello, since for young students it is harder to grab their attention as to educational concepts, it is best to teach them by having interaction with one another and let them learn by doing, that way they are able to engage within the learning. If students are being taught with hands on activities they will be able to provide us, as teachers, with feedback for us to know if they are learning or not. Some of the activities that you can use to be able to introduce science with young students can be by having their first group assignment with mystery boxes that way they are being introduced to making their own hypothesis and student collaboration. Another activity you can do is by giving the students different scenerios in where science is in the everyday life and ask them about it for them to understand what science is about.
