Simple Science Experiments

Trying Out Experiments

Experiments are fun ways to learn how things work. You can use everyday items to explore science at home or school.

Steps for Experiments

  1. Ask a question ("What happens when I mix water and sugar?")
  2. Make a guess (hypothesis)
  3. Test it out
  4. See what happens

Easy Experiments

  • Mix colors with water and food coloring to see what new colors you can make.
  • Plant seeds in soil and watch them grow over time.

What Do You Learn?

Experiments help you discover new things and practice being a scientist!

Examples

  • Mixing baking soda and vinegar to see bubbles

  • Watching what happens to ice cubes in different places

In a Nutshell

Experiments let you test ideas and see science in action.
