A plate Whole milk Food colouring Dish soap
Pour a thin layer of milk on the plate. To the milk, add a few drops of various food colourings. Apply a little dish soap-soaked cotton swab to the surface of the milk.
The soap disrupts the fat molecules in the milk, creating a mesmerising explosion of colours. It’s an engaging and dynamic approach to learning about surface tension science making this one of the easy science experiments.
Baking soda Vinegar Dish soap A plastic bottle Red food colouring
Set the bottle of plastic on a tray. Pour vinegar halfway into the bottle, then mix with a few drops of dish soap and red food colouring. Fill the bottle with baking soda, then observe the eruption!
A very similar volcanic eruption-like reaction happens when vinegar and baking soda chemically combine and react, leading to the release of carbon dioxide gas making this an interesting science experiment.
A clear glass Clear soda (club soda or lemon-lime soda) Raisins
Fill the glass with clear soda. Drop a few raisins into the soda and observe them dance!
Reduced to a frenetic dance, the raisins rise to the top and then descend again as a result of the carbon dioxide bubbles in the soda attached to their wrinkled surface.
Lemon Q-tip White paper Lamp or heat source
Extract the lime juice in a bowl/container. Dip a match stick/Q-tip or something that you may use to write on a paper and write your message. Use a lamp or another heat source to gently warm the paper.
The secret message is revealed when the heat causes the lemon juice to oxidise and turn brown. Investigating the chemistry of oxidation processes can be entertaining and one of the easy science experiments.

A balloon Small pieces of paper (cut into butterfly shapes) A smooth surface (e.g., a table)
Tie the blown balloon firmly. Press/ Rub the balloon up against your hair or clothes. Watch the paper butterfly shapes adhere when you hold the balloon close to them!
Rubbing the balloon on your clothes or hair which in turn attracts the lightweight paper butterflies and small pieces of paper, demonstrates the principles of static electricity with an interesting science experiment.
A plate Whole milk Liquid food colouring Dish soap Cotton swabs
Transfer a small amount of milk onto the dish. Add drops of different food colouring. Dip the cotton swab in dish soap and touch the milk’s surface.
Similar to the Rainbow Milk Explosions, the addition of dish soap creates enchanting patterns as it interacts with the fat molecules in the milk.
A clear container with a lid Vegetable oil Water Food colouring Tabs of Alka-Seltzer
To start with, fill the container with 0.25 cup of water and 0.75 cup of oil. Add a couple of drops of food colouring. Tear up one Alka-Seltzer tablet and mix it into the mixture.
The tab reacts with water, creating bubbles that rise through the oil, resembling the movement of a lava lamp.

A balloon A plastic bottle Straws Cardboard Wheels (can use CDs, bottle caps, etc.) Glue and tape
Affix the balloon to the plastic bottle’s opening. Make a cardboard vehicle body, then add wheels. Blow up the balloon, secure it, and let it go to power the car.
As the car accelerates due to the escaping air, this interesting science experiment demonstrates Newton’s third law of motion and exposes children to the fundamentals of physics.
White flowers (such as carnations) Food colouring Water Small vases or cups
Fill the vases with water. Add different colours of food colouring to each vase. Trim the flower stems and place them in the coloured water.
Children may see how capillary action works as they watch flowers create bright, multicoloured petals by drawing coloured water up their stems.
Clear glass Water Pencil or straw
Fill the clear glass with water. Place the pencil or straw in the glass and observe its appearance. Notice how the pencil or straw seems bent when viewed through the side of the glass.
This interesting science experiment illustrates the refraction phenomenon, which is the change in the direction of light as it passes through various materials. Water transforms this scene by bending light and changing how submerged items are seen visually. This interactive demonstrates how objects seem differently in water due to light refraction.
