How To Make A Boat That Moves in Water | Fun Soap Powered Boat

*THIS POST CONTAINS AFFILIATE LINKS, WHICH MEANS I RECEIVE A SMALL COMMISSION, AT NO EXTRA COST TO YOU, IF YOU MAKE A PURCHASE USING THE LINKS.

Science experiments that use paper and water are convenient because everyone has these items at home. Today, we will show you how to make a boat that moves in water. It is called a Soap Powered Boat.

You will be amazed at how simple it is to make this boat. Below are the materials you will need…

Dish Soap

Paper

Scissors

Water

When we first saw this experiment, we could not believe how simple it was to do. Immediately my son got the materials and went to work.

After doing the experiment, we were excited that it worked on the first try. My son made multiple boats and had fun trying different boat designs.

The science behind this experiment is soap tension. Soap breaks down the surface tension of water. As this happens, it creates enough force to push the paper boat across the water.

Below is a video showing you how to do the experiment. It comes from my son’s YouTube channel, Corban’s Fun Learning Adventures. Please subscribe if you find the content fun, educational, and helpful!

Have fun with learning how to make a boat that moves in water.

Fun Science At Home for Kids | How To Make a Chicken Sound | Chicken In A Cup

Want to try fun science at home? Today we will show you a fun and easy science experiment called Chicken in a Cup. Kids will learn how to make a chicken sound using the science of vibrations.

My son loves doing science experiments. This week we went to our local science museum where they had a two hour time entry. There was so much to explore within those two hours. However, my son decided to stay at the lab doing science experiments.

When we saw the Chicken in a Cup activity, we couldn’t believe a cup could make a chicken sound. Therefore, we had to try it.

The best thing about this activity is you will most likely be able to find the materials required in your home. Below is what you need…

Plastic cup – https://amzn.to/3lxv9uC

Paperclip – https://amzn.to/3hIkKLs

Cotton string – https://amzn.to/3zuxFH3

Paper Towels – https://amzn.to/2Z74VaJ

Once your child has completed this activity, they will be able to make a funny chicken sound with the cup. It works because of the science of sound and vibrations.

The video below will show you how to make the Chicken in a Cup. It also explains how it works. The video comes from my son’s YouTube channel, Corban’s Fun Learning Adventures. Please subscribe and like the video if you enjoy the content.

How To Make Colorful Balls of Ice for Kids | Fun Activity Kids

The holidays are here and kids will be home from school. During their down time, why not expose them to STEM projects that will be fun and educational? We have a fun activity for you today. We will show you how to make Colorful Balls of Ice. This project is also called Colorful Snow Globes.

All you need is three items ….

Water

Food Coloring

Balloons

Kids will learn what the powerful combination of water, balloons, and food coloring can make.

They will also learn about two states of water which are solid (ice) and liquid (water).

My son loves choosing different colors for his snow globes. The best part about this activity is melting the big ball of ice. You can do this with salt (which takes longer) or warm water.

Have your children make multiple Snow Globes and see who can melt them the fastest.
