FREE BOOKS! Today’s best Kindle/Amazon freebies for your family
They are 8 and 6 and we have yet to do any official experiments but would love to use this to get started.
My boys are 8 and 10. So far our favorite experiment is the mentos and diet coke rocket. They REALLY enjoyed taping it to a skateboard and turning it into a rocket car.
My kids are 5, 8, and 10 and our favorite science experiments are baking. We bake ALL the time.
Jenny’s latest post: Happy Thanksgiving!
The boys are 5 and 7. We love doing experiments. Our favorites were probably making fossils and leaf chromatography.
My son is 8 and science is his favorite subject. Some experiments we have done this school year that were his favorite was an experiment on how rollers reduce friction and make things easier to row and an experiment on rocks determining their hardness.
Lindsay @ BytesOfMemory’s latest post: What We Read – August
My kids are 7 and 4 and we have enjoyed experiments with baking (chemical reactions to heat), and most recently an experiment about permeability using eggshells. We would love this bundle!
My children are 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2. We love science experiments! Some of our favorites have been taco sauce penny cleaner and smoking volcano.
My kids are 14, 11, and 10. We enjoy baking for science. My oldest has recently discovered the joy of chemistry. He liked using his chemistry set. Mixing chemicals to see what happens. HR loved the acid and base testing we did
My kids are 6, 5, and 2. One of our experiments that they really enjoyed was about the digestive system. We took 4 pieces of hard candy (2 crushed and 2 whole), put 1 whole and 1 crushed in bowls of water and the other 2 in bowls of vinegar. They loved running back into the kitchen to see which one was dissolving the fastest.
My kid is 4 years old. We enjoy playing with magnets, blowing colored soap bubbles and experiments with ice cubes.
My kids are 6, 3, and 6 months. Their favorite experiment has been “hopping corn”. They ask to repeat that one all the time!
Hi. My girls are 8 & 11 years old. One for our favorite science experiments is the old standby volcanoes with baking soda and vinegar. We can do them every year and never get tired of watching the outcome. Thanks for the giveaway.
My kids are 8, 11, & 13. The science experiment we have enjoyed most is called ‘The Naked Egg’. It shows the semi-permeability of an egg shell!
My kids are 18 months, 4, 6, and 8. My 6 and 8 year old are learning elementary chemistry this year and the other day we did a fun experiment on having hard water and showing how it makes having bubbles more difficult. Any experiment with bubbles is a win in their book!
I have graduated 3 kids so far and we loved doing experiments! My youngest is 11 and he has enjoyed making animal tracks and a camouflage habitat- using skittles.
My kids are 5, 3, and 1. Mostly we enjoy science through observations alone, but this year we have tried a few experiments including seeing how air (in a balloon) expands as it gets warmer and seeing how the temperature of water changes as it is heated on the stove.
My budding scientist would love this!
My kids are eight, six, four, two, and one. We have loved doing any type of science experiment. They especially love magnets, animals/insects and big interactions such as the traditional volcano experiment.

My kids are 7 and 9. Their favorite experiment so far is making ice cream and the classic volcano. Thanks!
My son is 5 year old and he loves the baking soda and vinegar with baloon experiment
My boy is 4 (daughter is 1). We love growing crystals, making volcanoes and learning about bugs and insects!
My boys are 11, 8, and 4. Their favorite experiment was building a stomp rocket from a pop bottle and pvc pipe.
Shared on facebook
My kids are 4,5,8,9,11,13, and our most recent science experiment was rubbing two rocks together to learn about erosion. We could use a little excitement in our science. ..
My kiddos are 5 and 2. We like to observe reactions between common household ingredients (aka kitchen science), and my 5-year old enjoys weather, too!
My kids are 15, 14, 10, 8, and 5. With the little 3 we’ve done kitchen experiments and some magnet and electricity experiments plus some that the older two do.
My kids are 9, 6, 3, and 8 months.
They love making slime, and growing plants!
My kids are 8, 7 and 5. They love anything to do with baking soda and vinegar. We have done 9X13 each full of baking soda then colored vinegar different colors in little bowls and let them use pipettes to color their pan the various colors. They’ve also each made a volcano and one baking soda and vinegar to have it erupt!
My preschoolers are 11, 6, & 4. We have enjoyed many experiments. One favorite was dropping mentos in a soda bottle to create an explosion.
My son Max is 5. Science is his favorite part of the day. Probably his most favorite recent experiment was an experiment where we studied worms. We studied two types of worms. We observed them, measured them, decided whether they like wet or dry habitats better.
My daughters are 7 and 5. They loved making snow ice cream last year, a baking soda and vinegar rocket, and “dancing raisins” in a glass of 7-up. Our area has an organization that puts out a fabulous “science passport” program as well where you visit different locations and go on a scavenger hunt for information and are entered in a drawing upon completion. We loved that too. We would love this bundle!
My son is 7. We enjoyed doing experiments with magnets and playing with colored bubbles.
My kids are 14, 11, 8, and 5. Our all time fave was probably an exploding volcano, although we’ve been having fun with light experiments lately.
This would be awesome for my son, he loves this kind of stuff!!
Yes please! My kids are 6 and 8 and they both love science, just yesterday we watched a live demonstration of mentors and Diet Coke explosion!

My kiddos are 13, 10, 6 and the day before yesterday we played with cornstarch and water…is it a solid? is it a liquid? Fun.
My kiddos are 9 and 12 years old. We love messy experiments, but probably our favorite would be the exploding Ivory soap in the microwave.
My littles are 6 and 3, growing crystals has been a favorite so far. And all food based experiments when we eat the ‘results’ are a big hit!
My daughter is almost 5 and she loves experimenting by mixing things in the kitchen to get different textures, smells, and/or tastes!
My son and grandsons would absolutely love this!!!
My kids ages are 6, 4 and 8 months. We love doing experiments with baking soda and vinegar, and seeing what items float versus sink.
My children are ages 14,12,10,7. We all enjoy experiments that involve common household ingredients where we can gather around the kitchen table and usually make lots of messes ! What a great bundle to win!
My children are ages 6, 11, and 13 and our favorite experiment most recently has been the exploding diet soda and menthos!
My kids are 6 & 8. We recently learned about simple machines and they really enjoyed setting up a pulley system to lift a jar of coins easily. Then they wanted to move the pulleys to the stairwell and send supplies up to their “fort.”
My daughter is 7 and we have enjoyed experimenting with water and ice and learning about chromatography by putting leaves in hot alcohol and watching the paper absorb colors.
My daughter is 5. She is taking Chemistry at the co-op. She is looking forward to doing “candy” experiments.
My kids are 7 and 4 and we really like experimenting with how to make things move and other motion projects. I would love this kit!
I have 6,8, and 11 year olds. They love the mento rockets, learning how planets rotate around the sun, and we just learned how involuntary and voluntary muscles work.
Our kids are 10,11,13 and 15. They really liked the experiment where you dissolve an egg’s shell in vinegar.
My son is 23. All grown up and on his own. And my daughter is 7. I’m loving homeschooling for the first time with her! She loves science! I’d say our favorite was making rock candy. It takes patience. 7-10 days to complete but so fun to see the growth every day and take pics and log it!

Looks neat! 5, and loves digging for fossils, baking, and experimenting with gravity.
My little scientists are 9, 7, & 5 and we really enjoyed watching different liquids change colors in our acids and bases experiment.
My daughter is 9 and she loves any science experiments with chemical reactions! She loves doing science experiments in general and would have a blast with this set! Thank you for having this giveaway! 🙂
My children are 9, 7, 5, and 3, and we like to explore gravity, magnetism, density, and, well, make volcanos. Lots of volcanos. 😉
My kids are 6 and 4, and they enjoyed simulating the moon phases with a flashlight and an orange on a stick!
My son is 11 and loves any experiment involving a microscope.
My little guy is 7 and a 1/2 and he loves all things science, even though he isn’t reading and writing yet. His favorite is erupting a volcano he made. We also had a thorough examination of the body parts, especially the giblets, or yesterday’s turkey. How things (especially our bodies) work is what drives his engine.
Our boys are 5 and 8 and our favorite experiment recently was working to see what would be the best materials to build a dam in our backyard.
My two are 4 and 6. Our current favorite is white flowers in colored water, especially making two colored flowers.
My children are 7 and 5 years old. My oldest child love science. We recently purchased a microscope for his birthday and he was super excited about it. Our favourite science experiment would be creating a volcano eruption. We have done it a couple times now. Once we mixed too much baking soda and vinegar that it exploded onto the kitchen ceiling .
My boys are 7 and 8. We loved doing super foaming dish soap experiments.
My son’s are 5 and 4 and they love all kinds of experiments especially the baking soda vinegar, or simply punching pencils through water filled zip lock bags.
My kids are 11 and 8. We really enjoyed making our old carved pumpkins into a volcano, so the “lava” came out of the eyes, mouth, and top!
My kids range in ages from 17-4; 8 kids in all. We find it difficult to get science experiments into our day with so much else to do! This would be perfect!
My kiddo is 8 and we loved the experiments with baking soda and vinegar.
My kids are 8, 4 and 2. We have a tendency to put experiments on the back burner or do them only during our co-op time. Hoping this would encourage us to make them more of a priority.
My son is almost 4 and he loved building an exploding volcano!
Our kids are 10, 8, 5 and 2. Our favorite this fall so far was identifying a mink, who lives in our creek bed, by his or her tracks!
I shared on FB. 🙂
My son is four and we grew different colored crystals from borax. He loved it.
Our boys are 7 and 9. We like solid and liquid experiments at the moment.
My ten year old loves experimenting. We grow single cell creatures in hay water, dissect owl pellets and crickets, making volcanos erupt is a favorite pastime. Last Christmas he received a kitchen experiments set and we were conducting numerous experiments before we had made breakfast.
My kids are 7 and 4. We have not done any science projects / experiments to date.
Sharing on Facebook!
My kids are 11,8,6 and three. My kids and I enjoyed an experiment on how blubber works using crisco and ice cold water.
6, 5, and 3. One of our favorites has been raising butterflies!
My kids are 8 and 6 and we haven’t had the chance to do many yet!
12, 10, and 9.

7, 5 and 2.5. We like experiements with springs and baking soda/vinegar color mixing.
Ages 8, 11 and 13. We love looking at snowflakes with a magnifying glass!
My kids are 11, 8, 6, 3, and 3. We love geological experiments! Trying to re-create the effects of a strong river eroding soil on the river banks in our backyard with a hose and a big sloped area of dirt … and then making mud pies afterward 🙂
My schoolers are 6 and 4. We’ve been studying air, and they loved when we got out straws and tested what we could move by blowing through them. So simple, but lots of fun!
Katherine’s latest post: Teaching Gratitude To Little Kids
My daughter is 6 and loves every science experiment we have ever done together! We are doing “Science in the Beginning” and there is an experiment or at least a hands on activity to do everyday. We would LOVE to win this set!
My kids are 14, 12, 4 and 20 months. My kids really love experiments that deal with chemical reactions and cause a change in color or force. One of their favorites (which my oldest had to figure out how it was done without help of the internet etc) was blowing up a balloon with a soda bottle (and of course some baking soda and vinegar). It was a time he and his stepfather really bonded in working through the experiment.
My kids are 6 and 3. We have not done a ton of science experiments just yet but are hoping to start some fun ones after the holidays. We do love nature and seeing how things work!
My kids are 4 and 6. We’ve done a few science experiments this year, but the one they still talk about from last year is when we learned about the sense of taste & how the tongue senses different tastes in different places. They still laugh about how gross they thought unsweetened cocoa powder was.
My kids are 9, 7, 5, 3, and 5mo. We love doing baking soda/vinegar volcanoes.
My son is 12 and loves any experiments that involve explosions or things that fly!
My kids are ages 10,9,6,3. We enjoy science in general, but our favorite thing ever was keeping a praying mantis for about 2 months, feeding, watching it hunt, and watching it lay an egg sac. And there’s the favorite science stand-by of giving kids a cup of vinegar and a cup of baking soda, and letting them go crazy.
My daughter is 6. She loves doing anything with baking soda and vinegar. We’re making butter tomorrow in science which is pretty exciting 🙂 We also enjoyed dissecting an owl pellet.
We loved doing the Magic School. Bus germ kit- and it really grossed us out!
My kids are 6,4,2 and 1. We’ve done the egg in the bottle, and played with pennies and vinegar/soda solution. That last one was so simple but gets talked about all the time!
Linnea’s latest post: Potty Training
We have all boys, ages 11, 7, 2.5 and 2 mos. They are always looking up some kind of experiment! The latest was using a magnifying glass to start things on fire. The 11 year old stayed at it until he successfully started a small bonfire to burn leaves and trash. Would love to give them more things to play learn with 🙂
My sons are 12, 6, and 2. The volcano experiments are one of our favorites 🙂
1 son. He is 5 years and 11 months old.
His current favorite experiment is food coloring in water and freezing army men in the water then watching how everything reacts and melts.
my kids are 8, 6 and4. We’ve enjoyed putting an egg in vinegar and watching it become rubbery.
My kids are 4, 5 and 15 months. So far, our only “official” science experiment has been to build and erupt a homemade volcano– over and over and over. My 5 year old daughter says she wants to be a scientist when she grows up. Currently, she says she wants to be the sort that studies volcanoes. She would love this kit!
my boys are 14,12and 10. we loved the experiment with steel wool and batteries!
I have 4 kids ages 7,3, and 6 months.
We LOVE science, our top favorite experiment would have to be the one with milk, food coloring and soap. They still talk about that one

We homeschool 2 girls 5 and 7. Would love to get this kit to start Magic School Bus Science!!!
My ten year old son would love this!
Our son is 10 and loves digging for dinosaurs and working on electrical projects with me.
My son is 2. We have done simple floating va sinking wxperiments with colored water. We’ve compared what various objects do in water: potatoes, paper, Legos etc.
My girls are 6 and 5 their favorite experiment so far was building a volcano.
My kids are 3 & 5. We get the Magic School Bus science kits, and those are a huge hit! We also enjoy experimenting with water – what things float/sink/etc.
My daughters are 8 & 11 – we’ve most enjoyed making non- Newtonian fluid with water and cornstarch, anything involving baking soda and vinegar, and sucking balloons into bottles while exploring high and low air pressure – yay!
My kids are almost almost 8 & almost 11 (plus almost 3)! They loved dissolving an eggshell, and are very interested in crystals and water, so this kit looks fantastic :). Thanks
My kids are 7, 4,and 2. Their favorite experiment has been the dancing ooblek (I believe it’s called), where you put the tray near the speakers.
My kiddos are 7 and 4. They had a lot of fun with weather related science experiments. We made a tornado in a jar, rain in a jar, and hurricane in a bowl.
Shared on Facebook!
My children are 4 and 6. So far we’ve kept it pretty simple with experiments involving magnets, balloons, etc. but we did make a volcano and my husband made a simple circuit with my 6-year-old son! We’d love this bundle! Looks awesome.
My son is nine and our favorite experiments are chemical reactions!

Shared on my husband’s FB page!
My boy is 5 (also have a 23 month old girl). Over the summer he did a “Son Sparks Lab” VBS and they actually did some there that he loved! He came home with a “volcano” he made and another day with a jar with blue and yellow liquid that changes when you add an alka seltzer tablet.
My son is eight and enjoys science experiments with baking soda and vinegar.
My grandson is 10. We have grown crystals together
