If you are ready to become a Kitchen Chemist, here are a few experiments you can try!
GET OUTSIDE
Be ready to get messy when you create this Non Newtonian Fluid. It can be mixed up in the kitchen, but outdoors is the best place to explore!
Head outside to a spot with plenty of open space and watch a cool chemical reaction provide the fuel to blast this Bottle Rocket high into the sky!
WATCH + LEARN
Curious about crystals and how they form? Watch this video and then try to make some yummy Sugar Rock Candy with an adult to help out.
Watch the colors flow in this video of a homemade lava lamp, then follow this link for directions to make your own!
CREATE
How can you get two different cups to mix together into a third cup without pouring the water? Try this Color Mixing Experiment and find out!
Using just a few ingredients from your cupboard, you can make a beautiful Column of Color, as you learn about and experiment with density.
COOK
Feeling thirsty? A fun chemical reaction will turn ordinary lemonade into a cool fizzy drink!
Use your scientific observation skills to investigate what happens as you mix the ingredients needed to make these scrumptious soft pretzels.
