After spending a year as Science Parent at my children’s cooperative preschool I realized that introducing science to kids is as easy as a trip to your pantry/refrigerator. With eight common household ingredients you can do a whole host of science projects and I’m here to let you know how!
Your eight ingredients are:
- Food Coloring
- Corn Syrup
- Vinegar
- Baking Soda
- Oil
- Salt
- Milk
- Dish soap
I didn’t add in water because I’m taking it for granted you have easy access to it!

With these eight ingredients you can do the following experiments:

I told you it was easy! With summer here these science experiments for kids are perfect for adding a little learning into your child’s day.
Do you have any other science projects that use these common ingredients? Leave a comment below with your suggestions!
Fill your child’s life with more art, design, and science!
