Leaky Pumpkin(Ages 5-16)
Get one last use out of all your jack o’ lanterns before you throw them away! This leaky pumpkin foams up all over the place because of a special organism called yeast. You can teach your little chemists how to turn yeast into oozy foam with this simple experiment.
Spider Launcher(Ages 5-8)
The product designers at KiwiCo love launchers because they’re a super fun way to play with physics! With this project, your kids can turn a few rubber bands into a stretchy web that launches spiders across the room. While they make their launchers, you can talk to your kids about potential and kinetic energy!
Creepy Crystals(Ages 9-16)
In nature, crystals form in caves and caverns, but you can create your own Halloween-themed crystals at home! Mix up a special solution with your kids and watch science unfold before your eyes.
Count Popula(Ages 5-16)
Turn your kitchen into a chemistry lab and have your mad scientists create their own bubbling brew that blows up a balloon! As Count Dracula rises from the dead, you can explain the science happening in his head.
Q-Tip Skeleton(Ages 3-8)
This is a simple project that can consume hours! You can turn it into an anatomical learning lesson by looking at different kinds of skeletons beforehand. Challenge your child to create a unique skeleton by combining different types of bones!
