At Home Science Experiments Anyone Can Do With Their Children

 

Most kids love science because of the cool experiments they get to do in school. Whether your kids are in school or not due to covid, here are some fun science experiments you can do with them at home. These experiments are sure to not only create a love for science in your kids but will also let you have some fun with your kids during your free time. 

Colorful Baking Soda And Vinegar Experiment:

This specific experiment is perfect for toddlers and preschoolers. In this experiment, you can easily create colors using three ingredients from your kitchen. Perfect for a day when you are bored at home, and there is an off from school. So, let’s jump onto the experiment!

Things You Need For This Experiment:

• Baking soda
• Vinegar in a small bowl
• A small dropper
• Food colors
• A sheet of paper or baking sheet

How To Conduct The Experiment:

1. First, place a baking sheet on a table and then sprinkle baking soda on the sheet. 
2. Once you put the baking soda on the paper, make sure the sheet is evenly covered. 
3. Now add in two or three drops of various food colors onto the baking soda
4. Add vinegar drop-by-drop on the food coloring and see the magic. 

The bubble starts coming out of the baking soda, and there is a fizzle all around. This, in turn, mixes out the colors and makes things more fun and exciting. You can also teach kids about primary and secondary colors. 

Color Changing Thermosensitive Slime:

Slime is not only a stress-releasing product, but you can also allow your kids to play with it. When it changes colors, it will keep your kids entertained and help them learn how temperature works and how to make slime on top of that! 

Things You Need For The Experiment:

• White glue 
• Food coloring
• Liquid starch about one fourth cup
• Thermochromic pigment
• Water 

How To Conduct The Experiment:

1. Initially, pick a color that you would like to start with. 
2. Now, add this color along with glue to a bowl and mix them well. 
3. Add in 5 drops of food color and mix well.
4. Add liquid starch and mix till it gets slimy and thick.
5. Store the slime in a container for up to one week, and then it is ready for your kids to play with.

It might show a pink color in cold conditions, but it might show a purple color in warm conditions.  Due to different wavelengths at different temperatures, such changes happen, and hence you can enjoy science learning along with color changes.
