Our favorite science activity is making volcanoes out of play dough, and added baking soda and vinegar to watch them erupt. My kids love this so much, they do it all on their own.

If you like the baking soda volcano, you might like a candy experiment that uses sour (acidic) candy and baking soda. If you dissolve sour candy in water and then add baking soda, you get some bubbles. If you drop Warheads into baking soda water, you get lots of bubbles!
My son and I like to look at clouds together and talk about the different types.

My kids love making marshmallow monsters or putting ivory soap in the microwave

One of my favorite activities is to trace our shadow with sidewalk chalk at different times of the day.
It's fun to have the kids predict the time of day following the activity.
Thanks, Lynn

We love using our "Tasty Science" kit to learn the chemistry behind soda pop, rock candy + cupcakes!

I would love this book to aid a project I am doing at AS level! I plan to do a science of Sweets event and am currently looking everywhere for ideas. Don't have kids just yet but if I did I would love to do the experiment where you grow sugar (rock) crystals on string. It look absoluetley marvellous and the science behind it is really great!

name is ^ for above comment!
One of our more recent science expiraments that was a hit was putting Ivory soap in the microwave.
I love ANY science experiments with my kids. I was never a "science person" before, but seeing my kids wonder and looking at our little experiments has given me a fresh appreciation and interest! I am hesitant to put my e-mail address on a webpage, but will keep checking back! Thanks for helping make science fun for moms as well as kids!- Lori
We liked floating the letters from M&Ms into the water.
