Have your kids discovered Earth to Luna! on Tiny Pop yet? The series is aimed at children aged 2-6 years of age and shows youngsters just how wonderful science can be.
Earth to Luna! is a great programme that we’ve started watching after school as Monkey’s starting to learn about science at school now. You can find the show on Tiny Pop six times a day during the week (09.30, 09.45, 10.00, 10.15, 15.30, 15.45) and twice daily at the weekend (09.30, 09.45) and we can recommend the 12 minute shows.
You can keep in touch with Earth to Luna on Instagram and Facebook.

On the 2 equinox days of the year (start of spring and autumn), you can stand an egg straight up without it falling over (if you are willing to be patient). We did it one year, and the eggs stayed up for a few days. I really want to give it a try again, maybe in the spring.
Charging batteries with potatoes!
Using different colour dies to colour white carnations. Mixing the colours to make new colours!

Plant seeds and watch them grow. Love when you see your work grow in something beautiful and how fast it does.
I love making vinegar volcanos with the kids. The best bit is the explosive chemical reaction…the clean up required afterwards is not so fun though.
The puffing volcano, great! X
We made little crystal trees last Christmas and the kids loved watching them develop!
Making crystals!
What’s your favourite science experiment and why? . . . . . . the only one l remember is growing crystals – and that’s why it’s my favourite

The static test with a balloon on hair. Simple and always amuses the kiddies!
My old science teacher used to do an experiment where he swung a ball from under his chin and told us it wouldn’t hit him on the way back. Every time we thought it would, but it never did. I hope this makes sense, I’m not good at explaining it!!
growing crystals because its fascinating
sticking a balloon to the wall with static.
Coloured water to show osmosis using celery and white carnations to show osmosis – the celery shows the xylem so clearly and the colour change in the flowers proves that the flower sucks up the water. You can’t tell a child anywhere nearly as well as you can show them x
Home made volcano experiment!! Vinegar and baking soda 🙂 – Great fun
Turning cream into butter just by shaking it. It’s fun, a bit of exercise and you have some lovely butter to eat at the end!

Litmus paper test was the extent of my science projects! The smell in the lab used to make me feel sick every time I went in there!
i use to enjoy mixing chemicals in chemistry at school.
Iron filings, paper and a magnet underneath the paper. So when you sprinkle the iron over the paper you can see the magnetic field. I love it because it just seems like magic, but its not its real science.

We had a lot of fun with my nieces this summer, by doing the experiment which demonstrates how much our sense of smell affects our sense of taste. We all held some onion under our noses for a while, then ate a piece of chocolate – the kids couldn’t believe that it made the chocolate taste of onion!
We followed that up by rubbing some garlic on our feet, and half an hour later we could taste it in our mouths!
we make erupting volcanoes
Charging a battery using a potato, this seems so imposable but it works…..captures the imagination and lust for science.

Making (small) explosions/reactions using household products – coke & Mentos is fun!
I have fun with my grandchildren making magic ink from lemon juice. Squeeze the lemon juice into a small plate with a few drops of water and mix with a spoon.
Dip the toothpick into the lemon juice mix and write a message on the white sheet of paper.
When it dries the writing will be invisible.
Heat the paper by holding it over a lamp with the writing side down.
The invisible ink writing will slowly turn brown and appear on the page!
My grandchildren love pretending to be spies and passing secret messages.
