Yep, you read it correctly. Chemistry is cool and we have the coolest chemistry activities for kids to share with you. Just like our awesome physics activities, we decided we needed to put together a chemistry experiments checklist for you. Don’t miss a single experiment because each one is totally unique and yes, very cool too. We love science.
Find over 30 nifty chemistry activities and experiments for preschool, kindergarten, and early elementary age kids to enjoy at home and in the classroom. The only problem is which chemistry experiment to try first!
Below you will find a fun mixture {no pun intended} of science experiments that include making chemical reactions, mixing saturated solutions, exploring the solubility of both solids and liquids, growing crystals, making slime, and so much more!
WHAT’S SO GREAT ABOUT SCIENCE?
Science encourages curiosity. Science encourages questions. Science encourages problem solving skills and observation skills. Even the youngest of kids can enjoy simple science activities. Take for example our very first baking soda science experiment. So simple to set up, but so amazing to watch the amazement on his face.
That’s the best part of science for young kids. It surrounds them, and it’s in every new experience they encounter! Whether you are exploring science in the kitchen or science in the backyard, you have to admit that each day is filled with an amazing amount of new discoveries just waiting to be discovered.
Encourage your kids above all to never stop questioning and by all means try to answer those questions as best as possible or show them how you can find out the answers together. As parents, we don’t have to know everything! We do need to make sure we help our kids find the answers they are looking for.
Each link in blue leads to full instructions and the science behind the activity. I always like to chose science activities that I know my son will enjoy, are budget friendly, and are also exciting and engaging.
