This is a very colorful and fun water properties and behaviors project. First, get some water, food coloring in different colors, and paper towels. Step one: bend the paper towels into a V shape. Next, pour water into the cup and put a couple of drops of your favourite colouring. Put one end of the paper towel into the colored water and the other end into an empty cup next to it. It is amazing to see the water climb up the paper towel, carrying with it the colors and producing a phenomenal rainbow effect! It’s a terrific way to see how water moves and transforms.
You learn about movement and air as propulsion in this project! To do this experiment, inflate a balloon and tie it to a piece of string. Next, stick the other end of the string on a straw using tape. Next, take a lengthy piece of string and lay it out across the breadth of the room. Stick the straw on the string. When you release the balloon, a string rockets along the way, flying in the sky like a rocket! This is a fun way to watch Newton to laws of motion in action!
In this experiment you will learn all about electricity all with a potato! First, cut a potato in half. Then, put one copper nail into one of the halves of the potato and one zinc nail in the other half. Next, hookup a wire to each of the nails and connect a small lightbulb at the open ends of the wires. If you've wired everything up correctly, the light bulb should light up! In this experiment, you can have fun playing with electricity and how it works and transports through different materials.
It is a simple but fun experiment that teaches you about air pressure. Begin by pouring hot water in a jar and put an egg on top of the jar. In a few minutes, gently take the egg out and quickly put the opening of the jar flush against the mouth of a bottle with cold water. This is because when you turn the jar and light a match, it creates this suck back phenomenon which causes the egg to go back into the jar. It’s a nifty way to watch air create visceral effects.
This time-tested experiment is a big hit with kids! Combine baking soda and vinegar to generate a fizzy blast. It starts with adding a little baking soda to a container and then pouring vinegar on top of it. If you want to make it more interesting, form some clay around the mixture to form a volcano. When you combine the two materials, it will fizz and bubble just like an actual volcano eruption! Confidence: This is a good way to study chemical reactions in a fun, and interactive way.
This experiment is a yummy way to learn about temperature and the way ingredients change when combined! To make bag ice cream, combine milk, sugar, and vanilla in a small zip-top bag. Then put that small bag into a bigger bag, filled with ice and salt. So go ahead, shake those bags for a couple of minutes, and voila, creamy ice cream! This is a neat way to learn about how temperature can affect mixtures and then you get a sweet treat to eat afterwards!
This science experiment is sweet and colorful fun for kids! On a plate, first set Skittles candy in a circle. Next, gently pour warm water in the middle of the circle. Check out how the colours from the Skittles begin to dissolve and combine in front of you, creating a gorgeous rainbow on your plate! This is a creative introduction to the way different colors can mix and transform.
