If all of these don’t work for you don’t be discouraged. Kitchen science doesn’t have to be totally planned out. Let your kids look through the cupboards and create their own experiments to try! Just encourage them to predict what will happen and test to see if they are correct.
And remember both critical thinking and problem solving skills are developed just as much from failed experiments as successful ones!
