When kids learn something new their eyes become wide with discovery. Doing science experiments with kids is one of the best ways to have your child’s eyes sparkle with new knowledge. One of the best things about LEARNING is that LEARNING IS FUN. As an adult you have the ability to make magic with food coloring, baking soda, marshmallows, and more. Simple science experiments teach your child so much and many can be completed with items you have in your pantry. Science for kids helps prove that food coloring is NOT just for Easter! 
Below you will find some amazingly fun science experiments for kids. Whether you are watching colors mix with paper towels or melting smores without a fire you and your kids will have a fantastic time together. Be sure to print out this free Scientific Method worksheet to accompany each experiment you do.
