10 fun and simple ways to teach physical science- magnets, matter, atoms, molecules, and simple machines

Theme: I would have to say that the inspiration for this party came from cool Halloween supplies on clearance at Walmart! I'll show it to you later in the treat bags, but since Halloween is about six months before my son's birthday, he had to decide quickly. Since I am pretty good at persuading my children toward the party I want to plan, it wasn't hard to convince him :) They do actually get a choice, but once I tell them all of the cool ideas I have for that theme, they jump on board…
