Fizzing science experiments are very popular around here! Did you know that fizzing science is chemistry too? What makes the fizz, the bubble, the pop? A chemical reaction of course. All this week for the 100 Days of Summer STEM series, we will be exploring awesome fizzing science. Easy to set up science experiments using common household ingredients. These will be especially fun to take outside!
FIZZING SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS FOR KIDS
What comes to mind when you think of a typical chemistry experiment? My guess would be a volcano! Of course, we have tried quite a few varieties around here including using fruit, LEGO, and sand. We can also explore pop rockets and popping bags, surprise eggs and fizzing castles. Plus we have many more awesome fizzing science experiments. Click on the links in blue to see how each one is set up. Plus if you want additional science actives check out our list of classics or check back all Summer long!

Fruit volcanos are our specialty. It all started with pumpkins then apples and now a watermelon!
Have your kids build a LEGO volcano!
Pop rocks are a must try candy and science activity even if just once! Yes, it’s tons of sugar but the popping and fizzing are perfect for this week’s fizzing science experiments theme!
Will it pop? The perfect fizzing science activity to take outside!
Setting off a Mentos geyser is definitely a classic science experiment. You can simply do the activity as is or you can incorporate scientific method and test out different sodas and different amounts of Mentos.
My son had a great time with these mini pop rockets. Another great activity to take outdoors!
Have your kids ever seen a lava lamp? Well these aren’t exactly the same but look pretty cool!
This chemistry activity isn’t just for Easter! Hide anything inside eggs for your kids. Check out our options!
Whether you have an Elsa fan or a Darth Vader fan, this simple chemistry activity is lots of fun!
