Do your kids struggle to understand things like electricity and global warming? It’s understandable! While it’s easy to teach about these concepts, sometimes they’re very difficult for kids to understand. To help make these concepts a little more visual and more hands-on, I put together a list of activities to help! These will allow your kids to understand conservation and the importance of it through activities and learning instead of hearing about it in a textbook. While you can’t make all environmental concepts visual, conservation is a great place to start! Here are 15 cool conservation activities for kids to do.

Make a homemade water filter like Science Sparks. This is a great way to demonstrate to children how our water is cleaned of pollutants, before it gets to our taps. Remember not to drink the water though.
