Easy Science Discovery Bottles

Easy discovery bottles with a science theme! The possibilities are endless and I have so many here for you to try. Here’s a few simple ones to get you started. Hope you enjoy! Take one of our science experiments and give it a twist by making a discovery bottle out of it. It’s fun to explore the same simple science concepts in different ways to reinforce learning and keep it fun and playful. Science discovery bottles are all about learning and having fun together.

WATTLE BOTTLE SCIENCE PROJECTS

Scientific bottles or discovery bottles allow kids of multiple ages to enjoy exploring easy science concepts together! Plus plastic science bottles are great to leave out in a basket at a science center at home or school. Sit down on the floor with young kids and allow them to roll them gently around.

TIP: You can tape or glue caps if needed!

Yes, I have used glass jars and I made sure to supervise my son closely. Please use plastic if that is best for you! We have started using the VOSS plastic water bottles for our discovery bottles and really enjoy them!
