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!
