Looking for some science experiments for kids that can be performed at home? Well, here’re some super cool science experiment ideas to help your child to be scientifically robust?
Rock Candy:
Introduce the concept of crystallization by helping your kid grow the rock candy in a glass. Make them understand that water can dissolve the sugar crystal when it’s hot. However, the sugar can regain its solid form after the water is again at room temperature and evaporates.
Let them learn this interesting science fact by following the instructions in this video:
Pulley Experiment:
Let your child understand how a pulley can help him in lifting heavy objects. Follow these steps to make it easier for your kid:
- Take your kid to a hardware store and ask him to pick up rocks of different sizes.
- Ask him to make notes on how difficult it was to lift different rocks.
- Now, get him a pulley and ask him to use it to pick up objects
- Ask him if he notices any difference. Is it easier or harder?
You can also ask them to make their own pulley by following the instructions in this video:
Water bending with Electricity:
- Your kid and his friend can perform this experiment to learn an exciting fact.
- Ask your kid to comb ten times in her friend’s hair.
- Then, ask him to take the comb immediately to the running faucet.
It will lead the water to bend toward the comb. Now it’s time to tell the science behind this: this is due to electrons and charges.
