How To Make Water Bottle Bubbles – Fun Activity for Kids

Most children love bubbles. Bubbles are fun to form while blowing through a wand. Kids love to chase after bubbles and pop them. We have done a lot of bubble activities such as Bubbles in Bubbles, Giant Bubbles, Magic Bubbles, Bubble Pipes, and Unpoppable Bubbles. Today we are going to show you how to make water bottle bubbles. We call this activity the Bubble Snake.

This is a simple science activity that takes 10 minutes. It is also easy to do. Additionally, we will also show you how to make a bubble solution with two ingredients.

Below is what you need for this activity…

Water

Dish Soap

Food Coloring (optional)

Water Bottle

Old Sock

Instead of blowing circular bubbles that come from a wand, your children will make bubbles that are tiny, long, and clump together in a snake form. The results are amazing.

The video below demonstrates step-by-step how to make water bottle bubbles. You can do this activity both indoors and outdoors.

How To Make a Water Sprinkler | Easy Stem Project for Kids

Summer is here! It is such an exciting time for kids to play outside. My son loves playing in the water to cool off in 80 and 90 degree weather. Therefore, when I saw the water sprinkler project, I thought he would enjoy it. Today we will show you how to make a water sprinkler, which is an easy STEM project for kids.

Recently my son and I have gone to the pool and played with his water guns. It is good exercise for me to run and dodge his water attacks. I thought doing the water sprinkler would be a great connection to my son’s summer activities involving playing outdoors in water.

You mostly likely have all the the materials for this project at home. Below is what’s needed….

Straw

Bowl

Water

Tape

Scissors

Bamboo Skewer

Your child will learn about Newton’s third law of motion, which says that every force has an equal and opposite re-force. When kids spin the sprinkler, they will see water fly out its opening. They will be amazed at how this works.

Below is video showing you step-by-step how to do this easy STEM project for kids. It gives an explanation of how the water sprinkler works. The video comes from my son’s YouTube channel, Corban’s Fun Learning Adventures. Please like and subscribe if you enjoy it.

How to Make Your Own Soda at Home | Kid Food Chemistry

We love science in our family. Edible science, which is the kind you can eat, is the best. Last week, we showed you how to make homemade ice cream using food chemistry. Today we will show you how to make your own soda at home. It is very easy to do and tastes great.

My son, Cory, likes to choose desserts in cook books and make them from scratch. In the past we have made snow cones, brownies, and a carrot cake. The learning that happens while cooking is invaluable. There is so much science and math while cooking. We even incorporate literacy because my son reads the recipe while we make the dessert.

In my opinion making soda is not really cooking. It is about mixing things together. However, the great thing about making this soda is you don’t need a machine. You will mix the ingredients by using a spoon.

Although soda is not the most healthy drink for kids, it is a nice treat once in a while.

Below is what’s needed…

Citric Acid (Food grade)

Water

Baking Soda

Food Coloring

Sugar – add as little or much as you like

Watch the step-by-step video below to learn how to make your own soda at home. This is a fun edible science project that incorporates food chemistry. Remember, no machine is needed.

Kids will love this activity because it is kitchen chemistry and they can eat the experiment.

Have fun with your kids at home with food and science!

We Grew Our Own Ladybugs! | Fun Educational Project for Kids

A few weeks ago, my son and I grew butterflies. It was a magical experience. They came to us as caterpillars and we let them go at Painted Lady Butterflies. My son, Cory, loved the project so much, he wanted to learn the lifecycle of another animal. After doing a search, we found that we could grow ladybugs. We found that this is definitely a fun educational project for kids.

Watch the short video below to see our process for growing ladybugs

We used the Insect Lore Ladybug Land kit for this project. It was interesting to learn the lifecycle of ladybugs. The soon to be ladybugs arrived as larvae. About a week later they turned into pupae. Then one morning we work up and saw them as ladybugs. After feeding and observing them for a few days, we released them into the world.

We encourage you to try this fun educational project for kids. If you are looking for fun things to do with kids at home, then this is the activity for you. This fun STEM project can be done by preschoolers and up. It is a wonderful insect activity that your children will never forget.

Fun Animal Groups for Kids Game | A Fun Science Challenge

Animals are a fun subject for kids to learn about in school and at home. In fact, animals was one way my oldest son became interested in reading books. His favorite book as a baby was Brown Bear Brown Bear by Eric Carle. While reading this book, I would make the story come alive by doing the animal sounds in the book. Today, he still loves animals so, we decided to play a fun animal groups for kids game.

Being exposed to animal classification is a wonderful science and math lesson for kids. They learn how to observe animal characteristics and place them in categories. Children are also exposed to the diversity of living organisms on earth. Classification helps kids to learn about animal features and their similarities and differences

I decided to use a game for our animal classification lesson because it highly motivates my son. He is competitive and loves to win. Furthermore, games incorporate three of the five senses which are hearing, touching, and seeing. This helps my son gain a deeper understanding of the material.

In order to make this fun animal groups for kids game more exciting, we used his toy, Boom City Toy Car Set. In this game, you earn points for putting animals in the correct category and having the fastest car. As you will see in the video below, we had a blast playing this game.

We encourage you to watch the video with your kids. They will learn how to classify three types of animals in a fun way.

The video comes from my son’s YouTube channel, Corban’s Fun Learning Adventures. It has science experiments, DIY projects, and learning games. Please subscribe to the channel if you like what you see.
