Science at Home!

These Activities are fun and educational, and can be done at home with your child. Have fun and watch science happen right in front of your eyes!


Cauldron Bubbles
This activity is great for Halloween or any time of the year! With your child, you can use water, oil, and salt to create your very own bubbling cauldron! Make predictions and see what happens in this exciting experiment!

Squishy Eggs
Did you ever think an egg could feel soft or squishy? By sitting an egg in vinegar for a couple days, you may be surprised at what happens.

Musical Bottles
Does your child love music? In this activity, just a few recyclables and some water can create a symphony of beautiful music. Give it a try!

Make your own Fossil!
Have you ever found a fossil or seen one in a museum? How would you like to make your own prehistoric piece of memorabilia? With a few simple steps, you and your child can create a piece of history.

Invisible Ink
Do your children enjoy writing secret messages? In this activity, you and your child can create invisible ink that appears when heat is applied to it! Make sure that an adult is present during this activity.

Attract a Firefly!
Take your child out in the back yard at night to catch fireflies! With just a small flashlight, you can get any firefly to come right to your jar!

Curds and Whey
With just vinegar and a microwave, you can turn your milk into a solid!

Parachutes!
Have your child create a parachute with a shopping bag and yarn. Experiment making toys, eggs, or anything you'd like float down from the sky!

Fingerprints!
Become an FBI agent for a day! Use a pencil and some Scotch tape to create and analyze your own fingerprints, just like they do in the science labs.

A Sticky Situation
Make your own glue with your child! Get Sticky!
