What are some fun science experiments I can do with my kids?

Here are a few fun science experiments you can try with your kids: 1. Volcano Eruption: Mix baking soda and vinegar for a fizzy eruption. 2. Homemade Slime: Combine glue, water, and borax for stretchy slime. 3. Rainbow in a Jar: Layer different liquids to create a colorful effect.

That sounds great! How do I make the homemade slime?

To make homemade slime, you'll need: 1 cup of glue, 1 cup of water, and 1 teaspoon of borax. Mix the glue and water in one bowl, and in another, dissolve the borax in 1 cup of water. Slowly add the borax solution to the glue mixture while stirring until it thickens. Knead it with your hands, and enjoy!

Can we add colors to the slime?

Absolutely! You can add food coloring to the glue mixture before combining it with the borax solution. Just a few drops will give your slime a vibrant color!

What other experiments can we do with household items?

You can try the 'Invisible Ink' experiment using lemon juice and a cotton swab. Write a message, then hold it near a heat source to reveal it. Another fun one is the 'Dancing Raisins' experiment, where you place raisins in a glass of soda and watch them rise and fall!
