    I would appreciate any help I could get with this. Keep in mind that this is a simple layout, some things may be finished in the list but most are not.

    Essentially I am asking of fun activities you have done pertaining to science around K5-5th Grade.*

    Below (in [ code ] tag) is what I have so far and if you have any ideas it would be so helpful.

    The Grades obviously represent what grade level the activity is from.

    Code:

    bugs fascinate kids a lot. So if you have bunch of bugs, have like drosophila flies and show how they change from vulva to bus...and that some bugs have red eyes and some black eyes or different types of wings...And that demonstrates genetics...
