6. Scientific Law Lesson for Kids: Definition & Examples
There are many written laws that keep us safe. A scientific law is a little different. For example, all things falling to the ground and the Sun rising and setting can be described with scientific laws. Read this lesson to learn more.

7. Hypothesis Testing Lesson for Kids: Examples & Definition
Scientists spend a lot of time seeking answers and just as much time testing those answers. In this lesson, discover the ins and outs of testing a hypothesis by testing one of your own!

8. How to Write a Hypothesis: Lesson for Kids
A hypothesis is a type of educated guess or prediction about a scientific phenomenon, which is a vital part of the scientific method. Explore the characteristics of a good hypothesis, the criteria it must meet, and examples of well-written hypotheses.

9. Scientific Inquiry Lesson for Kids: Process & Definition
Scientific inquiry is a process that uses observation and inquiry to explain something. Compare and contrast scientific inquiry and scientific method, then examine some of the most common elements of the scientific inquiry process.

10. pH Scale Lesson for Kids: Definition & Facts
Scientists use the pH scale to measure how basic (alkaline) or acidic things are. Learn about the pH scale and take a look at some familiar foods and cleaning products with different pHs, like water, milk, and baking soda.
