Science for Kids
Rising Water Experiment
This eye-catching experiment teaches kids about air pressure and oxygen. Start by placing a tea light candle in the center of a dish filled with water. Light the candle, then lightly spray the inside of a clear glass with water and place it upside down over the candle. As the flame goes out, the water level inside the glass rises! This happens because the flame uses up oxygen, creating lower pressure inside the glass and causing the outside air to push the water up. It’s a fun way to explore how air and pressure work!
Oobleck Experiment
Oobleck is a fun and simple science experiment that explores non-Newtonian fluids—materials that act like both a liquid and a solid. Made by mixing cornstarch and water, oobleck flows like a liquid when poured slowly but feels solid when you apply pressure. Kids love squishing it, hitting it, and watching it ooze, all while learning about states of matter and viscosity in a hands-on way.
Pepper and Soap Experiment
This simple experiment shows kids why washing their hands with soap is so important. Fill a bowl with water and sprinkle ground black pepper on the surface—this represents germs. When a child dips their finger in the water, nothing happens. But when they dip a finger coated in soap, the "germs" (pepper) quickly scatter away! It's a fun and visual way to teach how soap helps protect us by pushing germs away.
