The Science Experiments

You’ll be able to do a ton of science experiments with this DIY science kit but, to get young scientists started, I included a set of cards ( available below) walking them through four of our favorites:

Magic Milk

Magic Balloons

Candy Chromatography

States of Matter Balloons

Preparation

I printed the cards on cardstock to give them extra durability, cut them out and bound them with a book ring.

I added the flip book to our big plastic tub and our work was done.
