Funscienceexperiments - Fun And Easy Science Experiments For Kids

There’s an intricate world beneath our feet! [Reddit/interestingasfuck]

When you have some dry ice hanging around in your office...

We had some leftover dry ice in our office, so we spent all afternoon playing with it.

In water:

Making a tornado:

Making ice scream (turn on the sound to hear it!)

and inflating balloons (there’s a little nugget of dry ice inside the balloon here):

Density experiment. Salt water has a higher density than fresh water, causing the egg to float in it! 

Vine 1 of 2 on how heat causes air to move. The flame creates an air current that turns the paper.

We grew some cress in box with a lid on it, that had one small hole for light. The result: a beautiful example of phototropism, plants growing and moving towards a source of light.

This is a great activity to try at home with the kids.

Artificial Water waves

These are Asperatus clouds which are dark and storm like. However, they dissipate without any storms.

Weekend Project: Do Osmosis with Food

Osmosis is the movement of water across semi-permeable membrane. Experiment with eggs to demonstrate the process of water transport into and out of cells. Get started here!
