Does your child love water? If so, try a fun water bending experiment. Simply rub a comb against some wool for about 60 seconds. Then, hold the comb near a steady trickle of tap water. Watch as the water changes its direction: This is because the negatively charged comb will attract the water.

Most children love the snow. However, you can teach them a deeper appreciation for it by having them observe real snowflakes. First, freeze a piece of black construction paper for about two to three hours. The new Exploration Zone for Children at the museum features hands-on science experiments designed to spark curiosity and learning. Then, place it outside when it’s snowing to catch the snowflakes. Examine these snowflakes with a magnifying glass and observe their unique ice crystal patterns.

Teach your kid the concept of gravity with a cool paperclip experiment. Place a piece of tissue paper on top of a cup of water that’s about 2/3 full. Then, put a dry paperclip on the tissue paper and puncture the tissue with the tip of a pencil. By Supporting Your Children through hands-on engagement, you can make science experiments for kids a fun and enriching experience. Watch the tissue paper sink and the paperclip float on top due to surface tension. For more kid-friendly, easy science experiments, see the accompanying resource.
