The Incredible Flexible Egg Experiment

Plan an Environmental Cleanup Project
Life is busy, and it's hard to think about the big topics, such as refining your child's environmental conscience. Sometimes just taking matters into your own hands is a great way to make an example for your child.
Make Your Own Cloud!
As they say, a picture's worth a thousand words. Rather than tell your kids how clouds are formed when warm and cold air meet, show them.
Make Your Own Butter!
Teach your child how butter is created by shaking up cream the old-fashioned way. This yummy activity is a great way to sneak some kitchen science into snack time, and it will leave your child all buttered up for more kitchen chemistry!

Has your child ever asked you how a submarine works? Here's a simple bathtub project that will make for a hands-on answer.
Superhero Strength: A Science Trick
Have your kid easily defeat an adult in a contest of strength. Sound crazy? This trick uses vertical and horizontal forces to help your child to push apart your hands apart, no matter how hard you try to keep them together!
Experiment with Balloon Science!
Whether your child loves science or just likes to be impressed, this activity will have her begging to learn how it's done. Tell your child that you're going to blow up a balloon without using your mouth. And with a little bit of yeast, you won't have to use magic to make that statement come true.
Make A Soda Bottle Greenhouse
Attention, green thumbs! Want to bring the green inside, and teach your kids to appreciate some nature at the same time? You probably have all the ingredients already to create a miniature garden right in your own house.
Make a Fistful of Slime!
