Easter Activities or Science Games?

All kids enjoy the outcome of a science game or an activity, but not many might be interested in the actual experiment. A teacher or parent can spark an interest in science, by catching their attention with something unusual. Kids have the capacity to be interested in varied things. We just need to give them the exposure and opportunity to grow their interest.



Here's a list of wonderful Easter activities, which are fine science experiments too:

1. Foaming Eggs
Forget kids, even adults enjoy such activities. Great opportunity to talk about bubbles.

2. Eggs with Spidery Cracks
This one is a cool experiment. The end result is visually spectacular and yumm to eat.

3. Walking on Eggs
This one's a favorite of many. This can have great conversation around it.
Can you walk on eggs?
Of course not.
I can.
Show off.
No, really, I can.

And then when the walk on egg shells happens, people are left open mouthed.

4. Egg Drop Experiment
This one is great in offering a challenge to kids who like to try things. It's also a great favorite of museums to try out with kids.

5. Disappearing Egg Shell
A simple experiment, this one needs patience. It's magical the way the shell disappears  when left in the liquid. Nothing much to 'do' in this experiment.

6. Making an Unbreakable Egg
This is super simple, but it introduces kids to reasons why things break. In the case of an egg, it's the thin shell.

So, which ones did your kids enjoy? Do drop us a note. Have a good long weekend!
