1. Gummy Bear Science

Gummy bear science is a fun and easy experiment that teaches kids about the process of osmosis. To start the experiment, you'll need a few gummy bears, two different colored cups, water, and food coloring. Place a gummy bear in each cup and fill each cup with water. Add a few drops of food coloring to one of the cups. Leave the two cups for at least five minutes, or until the gummy bears have absorbed the color of the water. Ask the kids what they think will happen and then let them observe the gummy bears. They'll be amazed as they watch the gummy bear absorb the color of the water and change color!

2. Balloon Rockets

Balloon rockets are a great way to teach kids about Newton's Third Law of Motion. To start the experiment, you'll need a few balloons, straws, and some string. Inflate the balloons and tie the end. Attach the straw to the inflated end of the balloon and tie the other end of the string to the straw. Let the kids take turns blowing up the balloons and then releasing them to watch them fly across the room. As they watch the balloon rockets move, explain to them how the air being pushed out of the balloon causes the balloon to move forward in the opposite direction.

3. Walking Water

Walking water is a fun and easy experiment that teaches kids about the process of capillary action. To start the experiment, you'll need two cups, water, food coloring, and paper towels. Fill one of the cups with water and add a few drops of food coloring. Cut the paper towels into strips and place one end of the strip into the cup of colored water and the other end into the other cup. Let the kids observe as the water moves up the paper towel and into the other cup. Explain to them how the water is moving up the paper towel due to capillary action.

4. Rainbow in a Jar

Rainbow in a jar is a fun and easy experiment that teaches kids about the process of diffusion. To start the experiment, you'll need a jar, food coloring, water, and oil. Fill the jar with water and add a few drops of food coloring. Ask the kids to predict what will happen when you add the oil. Pour the oil into the jar and watch as the food coloring diffuses and forms a rainbow in the jar. Explain to them how the oil is less dense than the water and that this is why the food coloring has diffused and formed a rainbow.

5. DIY Lava Lamp

DIY lava lamp is a fun and easy experiment that teaches kids about the process of density. To start the experiment, you'll need a jar, water, oil, food coloring, and an Alka-Seltzer tablet. Fill the jar with water and add a few drops of food coloring. Pour the oil into the jar and let the kids observe how the oil floats on top of the water. Ask the kids to predict what will happen when you add the Alka-Seltzer tablet. Drop the tablet into the jar and watch as it creates a fun lava lamp effect. Explain to them how the Alka-Seltzer tablet is less dense than the oil and that this is why it creates a lava lamp effect.

6. Elephant Toothpaste

Elephant toothpaste is a fun and easy experiment that teaches kids about the process of chemical reactions. To start the experiment, you'll need a bottle, hydrogen peroxide, yeast, dish soap, and food coloring. Pour the hydrogen peroxide into the bottle and add a few drops of food coloring. Add the yeast and dish soap and watch as the mixture starts to foam. Explain to the kids how the chemical reaction between the hydrogen peroxide and the yeast is causing the mixture to foam.

7. Color Changing Milk

Color changing milk is a fun and easy experiment that teaches kids about the process of surface tension. To start the experiment, you'll need a shallow dish, milk, food coloring, and dish soap. Pour the milk into the shallow dish and add a few drops of food coloring. Ask the kids to predict what will happen when you add the dish soap. Add the dish soap to the milk and watch as the food coloring is drawn away from the soap and creates a cool color-changing effect. Explain to them how the surface tension of the milk is what causes the color-changing effect.

8. Glowing Water

Glowing water is a fun and easy experiment that teaches kids about the process of bioluminescence. To start the experiment, you'll need a jar, water, and a few glow sticks. Fill the jar with water and break open the glow sticks. Let the kids observe as the water starts to glow. Explain to them how the chemicals in the glow sticks are reacting with the water and causing it to glow.

9. Baking Soda and Vinegar Volcano

Baking soda and vinegar volcano is a fun and easy experiment that teaches kids about the process of chemical reactions. To start the experiment, you'll need a volcano model, baking soda, vinegar, and food coloring. Place the baking soda into the volcano model and add a few drops of food coloring. Ask the kids to predict what will happen when you add the vinegar. Pour the vinegar into the volcano model and watch as the mixture starts to bubble and foam. Explain to them how the chemical reaction between the baking soda and the vinegar is causing the mixture to bubble and foam.

10. Dancing Oobleck

Dancing oobleck is a fun and easy experiment that teaches kids about the process of viscosity. To start the experiment, you'll need a shallow dish, cornstarch, and water. Fill the shallow dish with a mixture of cornstarch and water and let the kids observe as the mixture starts to move and dance. Explain to them how the cornstarch and water mixture has a different viscosity than regular water and that this is what causes the mixture to move and dance.
