Looking for fun and educational activities to keep the kids busy during the summer holidays? These 5 easy science experiments are perfect for curious minds—and the best part is, you can do them right at home with everyday items! From bubbling reactions to rainbow-colored milk, each activity comes with step-by-step instructions to make learning science exciting and simple.
What You’ll Need:
A shallow dish or plate
Milk (whole or 2% works best)
Food coloring
Dish soap
Cotton swab or toothpick
Steps:
What’s Happening?
Dish soap breaks the surface tension of the milk and reacts with the fat molecules, causing the colors to swirl and mix.
What You’ll Need:
A plastic bottle or cup
Baking soda
Vinegar
Red/orange food coloring (optional)
Dish soap (optional)
Tray or large plate (to catch the mess)
Steps:
What’s Happening?
Baking soda (a base) reacts with vinegar (an acid) to release carbon dioxide gas, causing a fizzy explosion.
Watch Baking Soda and Vinegar Volcano
What You’ll Need:
6 clear cups or glasses
Water
Paper towels
Food coloring (red, yellow, blue)
Steps:
What’s Happening?
Capillary action pulls water through the paper towels, mixing the colored water to form secondary colors.
What You’ll Need:
A balloon
A plastic bottle
Baking soda
Vinegar
Funnel or paper cone
Steps:
What’s Happening?
The chemical reaction between baking soda and vinegar produces carbon dioxide, which inflates the balloon.
Watch Balloon Blow-Up with No Mouth
What You’ll Need:
Lemon juice
Cotton swabor paintbrush
White paper
Light bulb or candle (with adult help)
Steps:
What’s Happening?
Lemon juice oxidizes and turns brown when heated, revealing your “invisible” writing.
