Fun 4th of July Experiments for Kids

JUPITER, FL – June 25, 2021 – You’re never too young or too old to start experimenting with science with Dr. Stephanie. With a few ingredients parents likely already have in the kitchen and some virtual guidance from Dr. Stephanie, parents can transform their kitchens into mini science laboratories. Dr. Stephanie helps parents step through each activity and offers advice on the types of questions they can ask.  

Some of the science activities Dr. Stephanie teaches that can help fight summer boredom and celebrate the 4th of July include:

• Patriotic Milk Fireworks: Make patriotic ‘fireworks’ with cotton swabs, dish soap, milk, and red and blue food coloring.
• Fireworks in a Glass: Make colorful ‘fireworks’ in a glass using food coloring, vegetable oil, and water.
• 4th of July Lava Lamps: Make patriotic lava lamps in a plastic bottle using food coloring, vegetable oil, water, and Alka-seltzer tablets.
• Red, White, and Blue Recycled Crayons: Take all of your old shades of red, white, and blue crayons, broken or not, and make new rainbow crayons in molds. Are you feeling extra patriotic? Make them in the shapes of stars!
• Low Sensory Fireworks: Some kiddos don’t like the loud noises of fireworks, and this activity is for them! All you need is red and blue food coloring, baking soda, glitter, vinegar, and pop rocks to simulate fireworks that are quiet but still pretty!
• Bottle Rocket Fireworks: All you need are some old film canisters, baking soda, vinegar, red and blue food coloring and some water. These little “rockets” will pop with the color you chose for food coloring.
