Sally,
One way to make science fun on a budget is to use the outdoors to your advantage when you can. Especially now during the Fall, there are many activities that you can do with students with materials given to you by nature. You can have students collect leaves and discuss why leaves fall off the trees during Fall. You could also take students on a nature walk and have them look for signs of animals and discuss animal habits, characteristics, etc. Another way is to bring in people from your community who could talk to the students about the content they are learning about. If you live in a more agriculturally based area, have a farmer talk to the students about the science of farming and agriculture.
Hopefully this information is helpful!
