Why Do We Yawn? | FREE Questions Kids Ask Mini-Study | Ages 2–9

YAAAWN! 🥱 Have you ever wondered why we do that?

In this FREE 6-page Questions Kids Ask science mini-study, children will explore what happens when we yawn, what scientists think might be behind it, why yawns can sometimes seem contagious, and whether humans are the only animals that yawn.

And here's the really interesting part: scientists are still working to fully understand why we yawn!

Kids will observe their own yawns, take the DON'T YAWN Challenge, match yawning animals, and become a Yawn Investigator for the day.
