Much of the summer is spent outside at my house. We play, explore, and learn in our backyard. (Last year I shared with you a series of science experiments we did with water.) This year I have set up a science discovery center for my son on his gardening table. It has all kinds of kitchen tools and toys that can be used to explore water.
Today I am going to share with you just what I placed on the science discovery center. Over the next few days, I will share with you a few of the experiments that can be done using these science tools.
As the experiments are shared I will add links for them at the bottom of this post.
Here is what you will find in the science discovery center:
Top Shelf
- A set of funnels (One of the funnels has vinyl tubing, 1″ ID x 1-1/16″ OD Clear Tube BPA Free Heavy Duty, 3.3FT coming out of it.)
- Plastic Easter eggs
- Corks
- Bread Tags (Not visible in the picture)
Middle Shelf
- Flowerpot
- Plastic boat
- Large plastic storage container
- Plastic Eye Dropper Pipettes Plastic Eye Dropper Pipettes
- Kizmos Flower Tools Plastic Measuring Spoons (These are from the same company, but are different from ours. Ours are not available.)
- Salt and Pepper Shakers Moisture Proof Set o
Bottom Shelf
- Tin can with a vertical column of holes
- Plastic colander
- Wooden spoon
- Rocks (Not visible in the picture.)
You will notice at all of the items are durable and almost all of them are made of plastic. I wanted to select items that would do well if they were left outside.
Where did I get the science discovery center table?
I wasn’t able to find the gardening table we have online. Below are a few gardening tables I thought would work if you want to have a science discovery center in your yard.
Topeakmart Potting Benches Outdoor Garden Potting Table Work Bench
Little Tikes 2-in-1 Garden Cart and Wheelbarrow
During the week I will be sharing the following science discovery table experiments:
Cork-Filled Easter Egg Experiments
What a fabulous outdoor water center! I can just imagine all the learning and creativity that could happen with this set up.
I am so glad you like! We are really enjoying it.
fun!! Love water play. Thanks for sharing at our FB Share day!
I LOVE this!
We play with it almost everyday!
