20 Simple Science Experiments Kids Love

Simple science with my kids is so exciting.  I love seeing their faces as we try new experiments out.  I often have just as much fun as they do seeing the end results of our science experiments.  I recently went through and compiled all of our past science experiments into one list.  I have also added some more fun science experiments from other moms to this list as well.  So today I can share over 10+ simple Science Experiments Kids Love with you all.

Volcano Science Sensory Sink

Second day of Sink Play series with Little Bin and Little Hands. Today is science theme sensory sink play.  I have wanted to make volcanoes with the kids for sometime now.  When brainstorming for what we would do for our science sink volcanoes came to mind.  It would be fun and contain the mess!  I could not wait to set up the Volcano Science Sensory Sink for the kids.

Juicy Juice Science Experiment Playdate

I had a fun idea for a Juicy Juice Science Experiment Playdate for the boys. The idea of using a product we loved and creating a fun experiment for the kids got me really excited. We love simple science at my house and I could not wait to see their reaction to it. As I continued thinking on this activity I decided to let them create science journals for our experiment. We used some really cool Crayola crayons to do this. This was the perfect way to spend an afternoon at my house exploring, crafting, playing, learning...

Liquid Density Science Experiment

We cannot get enough simple science over here.  This Liquid Density Experiment was perfect for us.  I could not wait to try it out with my preschooler one afternoon.  I had so much fun working on this experiment with him.  We got to spend time together and learn all at the same time.  This was a wonderful afternoon project for me and him.

Blowing up a Balloon with a Bottle- science for kids

Anything to do with balloons is loved by my boys ( 3yr and 1yr).  I knew we had to try this Balloon science experiment out. Over at Mom To 2 Posh Lil Divas in here Blow It Up! Exploring Gas with Balloons, Baking Soda & Vinegar it explained the experiment.  I had this post pinned as a must try with the kids.  It was a big hit at my house.

Jelly Bean Science Experiment

Do you and the kids love candy science?  We do over here at my house.  Finding ways to use up candy that does not include eating it is always a plus at my house.  So what better to do with a few bags of jelly beans than to use them in a science experiment with the kids. Jelly Bean Science is easy and fun for you and the kids.

Baking Soda Science- Fizzy Fun

I saw a picture on pinterest for this activity .  The picture I pinned did not have a link but it was a little boy with a tray of baking soda and he was using a dropper to add colored vinegar to his tray.  It made a bubbling foam, what fun!!  I asked around and got a link to a site that shows you this activity.  This is it Teach Preschool . They used a tray and put spoonfuls of baking soda on it and then used the dropper.  We tried both.  My son liked the tray with baking soda covering it and then using the dropper to add vinegar.

Pumpkin Spice Candy Corn Science Experiment

We love Candy Science!  It is fun and easy for young kids to enjoy. I also love that we get to use up some holiday candy so we do not eat it.  Last year on Mamas Like Me, she shared More Candy Experiments.  In this post I noticed the Candy Corn Experiment. I made a mental note to come back and try it this year with the kids. Today we got out our Pumpkin Spice Candy Corn and put it to use in a fun candy science experiment for the kids.

Pumpkin Spice Fizzy Science for Kids

We love sensory play and we love science.  Anytime we put thew two together the kids just love it.  I love "hands on" learning and this Pumpkin Spice Fizzy Science is just that.  A great way to let the kids explore and learn all at the same time.  Great activity for an afternoon of playing and learning.

Apple Volcanoes Science for Kids

If you follow FSPDT activities and crafts then you know I have been on an apple kick.  Once I decided to plan some apple fun with the kids, the ideas just kept coming.  Today I am sharing a classic science experiment with a twist.  Apple Volcanoes are easy to set up and a ton of fun for the entire family!

Ghost Volcanoes Halloween Science

Volcanoes, or fizzing baking soda, has been a go to activity for us at my house.  All 3 kids have been having fun with this simple science experiment.  I have been inventing new ways for us to play with volcanoes.  Today we set out to enjoy Ghost Volcanoes.

Crystal Clover a Science Experiment both toddler and preschooler can enjoy

I have been trying to to do more science experiments with the kids.  Now that they are 2yr and 4yr they seem to really enjoy the science experiments we do.   One day I will get the posts together to share with you all on the other science experiments we have tried.  For now I want to share with you this creating crystals science experiment for kids.  When I saw this at Busy Kids= Happy Mom I got really excited about trying this with the children.  Busy Kids = Happy Mom had crystal hearts for Valentine's Day and they are beautiful. You should stop over and have a look.  I was going to try to fit this in for Valentine's Day but it didn't happen.  I wasn't sure when we would get to it or what design we would try.  The idea of trying a clover came to me.  With St. Patrick's Day coming up we could tie our science experiment into the holiday.  This science experiment was great for both my toddler and preschooler.  With a little help they both got to create their own crystal clover.  

                                   

Gummy Bear Science Experiment

I got this Gummy Bear Science Experiment from Teach Preschool.  I have to stop and tell you what a wonderful site Teach Preschool is real quick.  If you have never been over, check her out and you will not be disappointed.  I was following her on pinterest before I even started blogging.  She is a great resource for all things preschoolers.    Ok, now that I have expressed my love for Teach Preschool,  I can move on.  When I was on pinterest I came across this fun gummy bear science experiment she shared.  After reading about it I knew my boys would LOVE IT.  I could not wait to gather the few things we needed to do this experiment.  We have just recently started doing science experiments and my preschooler and toddler( to my surprise for him) just love them and really get excited about what we are looking at.  They keep asking to do a new experiment so I hope to keep sharing the fun ones we find with you.

Baking Soda Science and Color Mixing

My kids love the simple science activity of baking soda and vinegar. Big brother has tried it a few times but little brother had yet to really get a chance to enjoy it.  I set out to change that one afternoon by setting them up a baking soda activity.  I wanted to mix it up a bit so I added in a little Kool- Aid color mixing while they played.

Floating Grape Science Experiment for kids

We love simple science over here.  My toddler enjoys it just as much, if not more, than big brother(preschooler).  However, they both get excited when they hear the words "let's do a science experiment".  I recently bought us a kids science book and I could not wait to get to experimenting with the boys.  This is our first science experiment from the book, Floating Grape.  And it was a big hit at my house.

Milk Science Experiment~fun for young kids too

We have really started to enjoy some simple science experiments over here.  I have been wanting to try the milk experiment for a while and when we finally did it didn't work.  Sad face here.  But I didn't give up on it.  We set out the other day to do it again and make sure it worked.  We all had a lot of fun with this. Big brother made sure daddy got to see it too.

Pumpkin Spice Scented Pumpkin Volcano for Kids

We love SCENTED sensory play.  Anything I can add scent to I will try it. After doing our Apple Scented Apple Volcanoes I knew we would have to try pumpkin spice scented pumpkin volcanoes! Now to just figure out how to do this.  It took some thought but I finally came up with a way to do it and the kids loved it.  This is a great sensory and science activity for the kids.

Monsters Inc Science Fun

Simple science that doubles as sensory play is always a hit at my house.  This simple setup for playtime got thumbs up from all of them. Monsters Inc Science is great for multiple ages and easy to get ready for the kids. My kids are 1yr, 3yr, and 5yr.

I wanted to introduce a little learning fun to my boys and this simple science experiment seemed like a great idea.  It is easy to set up and has noticeable results.  Even the little kids that I have (a 2 yr and 4 yr) had a lot of fun trying this out.  My tot would keeping asking to check on the experiment throughout the day with a smile on his face.  I would say that the celery and food coloring scenic experiment was a hit at my house.
