Science Journal for Kids aims to make scientific research discoveries more accessible to the general audience and particularly to children. We do that by digitally publishing kid-friendly adaptations of scientific papers. In addition, Science Journal for Kids prepares and offers teacher’s aids and resources to enable integration of the scientific literature in a classroom curriculum.
Homeschool Hands-On Science Activities

They can be used to help elementary school, middle school, and high school students conduct experiments and interpret data using real scientific research. They feature educational games or guide students to replicate the original experiment inside the classroom. Students are sure to enjoy each of these lessons!

Teens encounter a wealth of resources on health across media platforms. Health literacy based on scientific research helps teens to discern what is useful among all these options, and to make personal decisions about their bodies, activities, and habits.
