Water Science Projects
Water science projects can be a lot of fun for the parents, the children and the teachers. Kids are so full of question that they should have no trouble coming up with a science project topic for them to tackle. They will need your help and guidance to do their experiment and will likely enjoy the extra attention they get while doing the experiment. I recommend these fun science projects kits as a fast, simple way to get started on your science experiment.
Fun water science projects including seeing what sorts of items will float or sink in a water, vinegar and a baking soda mixture. You can do this project with your kids right in your own kitchen, all you need is a clear plastic or glass container, some water, vinegar, baking soda, food coloring and some items like raisins, rice, dried fruit, and broken bits of spaghetti to test whether they will float or sink. The first thing you will need to do is fill the container with three parts water and one part vinegar. Be sure to leave some room at the top of the container. Very slowly add one teaspoon of baking soda. If you add too much at one time, it will bubble over the top. You might want to keep a towel handy just in case. Once the bubbles have settled down, very slowly add another teaspoon of baking soda. When the bubbles settle down after the second teaspoon, add a few drops of food coloring. Next comes the fun part. Get the kids to gather some ideas to drop in the mixture and guess which items will float and which will sink. Have them write down their hypothesis. Drop in a few of the first item and see what happens, then continue with the other items.
