12 Summer Science Ideas: Kid's Co-op ~ Reading Confetti

We recently purchased an ant farm and my kids are beyond excited about it. There are so many fun science activities that work especially well in the summer. And I love when we can do the messy ones outside. Here are some fun summer science experiments from last week's Kid's Co-op:
