  3. Elephant Toothpaste – fact of life #4393850: everybody loves an experiment that involves some type of explosive reaction. While this project doesn’t explode–that would get messy real quick–it does ooze in a fantastic way your kids are sure to love!science project
  4. Glowing Exploding Bag – even MORE exploding, AND this one is glow in the dark. Scientific and artistic, for your little scientist and your little artist alike! Frame the fun by letting the bags explode on a piece of paper that your child can keep!science project

  10. 3 Insanely Cool Egg Experiments – Can we address the fact that not simply titling this experiment (or three) “3 Insanely Cool EGGSperiments” was a missed opportunity? Thanks. That being said, these eggs-periments are, in fact, insanely cool!science project

    I could not find a link which would actually show me how to do experiments. I homeschool and so I am always looking for fresh ideas. Thank you. Lee Ann

    Hi there, maybe I’m just missing it, but do you have links to instructions for these experiments? I’m having a Mad Science party for my daughter next month and would love to use a few of these! Thank you!
