Summer Science Experimants

This summer we have done several science experiments a week. I just wanted to share a few that my kids have enjoyed.
We sprouted Pumpkin Seeds in a lunch baggie. Take a paper towel and place it in the baggie. Put the seeds in the bag and place a staple on each side. Dampen the paper towel with a spray bottle and tape to a sunny window. Watch the seeds sprout.
My kids love to garden but they can't see what is going on under ground. This is a great project that the kids love.





We also did an several experiments with gasses. They learned that a gas can be mixed with a liquid - Carbon Dioxide. We opened a bottle of soda and placed a balloon over the opening. We were able to watch the balloon fill up. They thought that this was great.



With the left over soda, I poured some in a cup and placed an egg inside. They were able to see what soda can do to your teeth. Give it a try!
