Kitchen Science Experiment Cards

A grown-up reads each card aloud and does any step marked grown-ups only, such as pouring hot water or using the knife. Check for food allergies before every experiment, then have children fill in the reflection page for the one they tried.

Eleven pages after the cover. Ten experiment cards each have a You will need list, a safety or allergy note, 4 picture steps and a The Science box: Rock Candy Crystals, Butter in a Jar, Milk Rainbow, Floating Egg, Dancing Raisins, Ice Cream in a Bag, Bouncy Egg, Browning Apples, Walking Water and Salt Lava Lamp. The last page, My Kitchen Science Reflection, asks for the experiment name, a prediction, what children observed, what they learned and a star rating.

Yes. We made it for Kindergarten to 5th Grade holiday activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.

3 printable resources, all free to preview. There are 30 National STEM Day resources in all, from Preschool to 5th Grade, gathered on our National STEM Day activities page. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

These are written for Kindergarten to 5th Grade students, roughly ages 5-11. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a Kindergarten to 5th Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
