Experiments at home are a great way to introduce children to the basics of physics and chemistry, and make it easier to understand complex abstract laws and terms through visual demonstration. Moreover, for their implementation it is not necessary to acquire expensive reagents or special equipment. After all, without hesitation, we conduct experiments every day at home - from adding slaked soda to the dough to connecting batteries to a flashlight. Read on to find out how easy, simple and safe it is to conduct interesting experiments.

Does the image of a professor with a glass flask and scorched eyebrows immediately appear in your head? Do not worry, our chemical experiments at home are completely safe, interesting and useful. Thanks to them, the child will easily remember what exo- and endothermic reactions are and what is the difference between them.

So, let's make hatching dinosaur eggs that can be successfully used as bath bombs.

For experience you need:

small dinosaur figurines;
baking soda;
vegetable oil;
lemon acid;
food coloring or liquid watercolors.

Pour ½ cup baking soda into a small bowl and add about ¼ tsp. liquid paints (or dissolve 1-2 drops of food coloring in ¼ tsp of water), mix the baking soda with your fingers to get an even color.
Add 1 tbsp. l. citric acid. Mix dry ingredients thoroughly.
Add 1 tsp. vegetable oil.
You should end up with a crumbly dough that barely sticks together when pressed. If it does not want to stick together at all, then slowly add ¼ tsp. butter until you reach the desired consistency.
Now take a dinosaur figurine and cover it with dough in the shape of an egg. It will be very brittle at first, so it should be left overnight (minimum 10 hours) for it to harden.
Then you can start a fun experiment: fill the bathroom with water and drop an egg into it. It will hiss furiously as it dissolves into the water. It will be cold when touched, as it is an endothermic reaction between an acid and a base, absorbing heat from the environment.

Please note that the bathroom may become slippery due to the addition of oil.

Experiments at home, the result of which can be felt and touched, are very popular with children. These include this fun project that ends up with lots of thick, fluffy colored foam.

To carry it out you will need:

goggles for a child;
dry active yeast;
warm water;
hydrogen peroxide 6%;
dishwashing detergent or liquid soap (not antibacterial);
funnel;
plastic sequins (necessarily non-metallic);
food colorings;
bottle 0.5 l (it is best to take a bottle with a wide bottom, for greater stability, but a regular plastic one will do).

The experiment itself is extremely simple:

1 tsp dissolve dry yeast in 2 tbsp. l. warm water.
In a bottle placed in a sink or dish with high sides, pour ½ cup of hydrogen peroxide, a drop of dye, glitter and some dishwashing liquid (several pumps on the dispenser).
Insert a funnel and pour in the yeast. The reaction will start immediately, so act quickly.

The yeast acts as a catalyst and speeds up the release of hydrogen from the peroxide, and when the gas interacts with the soap, it creates a huge amount of foam. This is an exothermic reaction, with the release of heat, so if you touch the bottle after the "eruption" stops, it will be warm. Since the hydrogen immediately escapes, it's just soap suds to play with.

Did you know that lemon can be used as a battery? True, very weak. Experiments at home with citrus fruits will demonstrate to children the operation of a battery and a closed electrical circuit.

For the experiment you will need:

lemons - 4 pcs.;
galvanized nails - 4 pcs.;
small pieces of copper (you can take coins) - 4 pcs.;
alligator clips with short wires (about 20 cm) - 5 pcs.;
small light bulb or flashlight - 1 pc.

Here's how to do the experience:

Roll on a hard surface, then lightly squeeze the lemons to release the juice inside the skins.
Insert one galvanized nail and one piece of copper into each lemon. Line them up.
Connect one end of the wire to a galvanized nail and the other end to a piece of copper in another lemon. Repeat this step until all fruits are connected.
When you are done, you should be left with one 1 nail and 1 piece of copper that are not connected to anything. Prepare your light bulb, determine the polarity of the battery.
Connect the remaining piece of copper (plus) and nail (minus) to the plus and minus of the flashlight. Thus, a chain of connected lemons is a battery.
Turn on a light bulb that will work on the energy of fruits!

To repeat such experiments at home, potatoes, especially green ones, are also suitable.

How it works? The citric acid in the lemon reacts with two different metals, causing the ions to move in the same direction, creating an electrical current. All chemical sources of electricity work on this principle.

It is not necessary to stay indoors to conduct experiments for children at home. Some experiments will work better outdoors, and you won't have to clean anything up after they're done. These include interesting experiments at home with air bubbles, and not simple, but huge.

To make them you will need:

2 wooden sticks 50-100 cm long (depending on the age and height of the child);
2 metal screw-in ears;
1 metal washer;
3 m cotton cord;
bucket with water;
any detergent - for dishes, shampoo, liquid soap.

Here's how to conduct spectacular experiments for children at home:

Screw metal ears into the ends of the sticks.
Cut the cotton cord into two parts, 1 and 2 m long. You can not exactly adhere to these measurements, but it is important that the proportion between them is 1 to 2.
Put a washer on a long piece of rope so that it sags evenly in the center, and tie both ropes to the ears on the sticks, forming a loop.
Mix a small amount of detergent in a bucket of water.
Gently dipping the loop on the sticks into the liquid, start blowing giant bubbles. To separate them from each other, carefully bring the ends of the two sticks together.

What is the scientific component of this experience? Explain to the children that bubbles are held together by surface tension, the attractive force that holds the molecules of any liquid together. Its action is manifested in the fact that spilled water collects in drops that tend to acquire a spherical shape, as the most compact of all that exists in nature, or that water, when poured, collects in cylindrical streams. At the bubble, a layer of liquid molecules is clamped on both sides by soap molecules, which increase its surface tension when distributed over the surface of the bubble, and prevent it from quickly evaporating. As long as the sticks are kept open, the water is held in the form of a cylinder; as soon as they are closed, it tends to a spherical shape.

Here are some experiments at home you can do with children.

7 easy experiments to show kids

There are very simple experiences that children remember for a lifetime. The guys may not fully understand why this is all happening, but when time passes and they find themselves in a lesson in physics or chemistry, a very clear example will surely pop up in their memory.

Bright Side collected 7 interesting experiments that children will remember. Everything you need for these experiments is at your fingertips.

It will take: 2 balls, candle, matches, water.

Experience: Inflate a balloon and hold it over a lighted candle to show the children that the balloon will burst from fire. Then pour plain tap water into the second ball, tie it up and bring it to the candle again. It turns out that with water the ball can easily withstand the flame of a candle.

Explanation: The water in the balloon absorbs the heat generated by the candle. Therefore, the ball itself will not burn and, therefore, will not burst.

You will need: plastic bag, pencils, water.

Experience: Pour water halfway into a plastic bag. We pierce the bag through with a pencil in the place where it is filled with water.

Explanation: If you pierce a plastic bag and then pour water into it, it will pour out through the holes. But if you first fill the bag halfway with water and then pierce it with a sharp object so that the object remains stuck in the bag, then almost no water will flow out through these holes. This is due to the fact that when polyethylene breaks, its molecules are attracted closer to each other. In our case, the polyethylene is pulled around the pencils.

You will need: balloon, wooden skewer and some dishwashing liquid.

Experience: Lubricate the top and bottom with the product and pierce the ball, starting from the bottom.

Explanation: The secret of this trick is simple. In order to save the ball, you need to pierce it at the points of least tension, and they are located at the bottom and at the top of the ball.

It will take: 4 cups of water, food coloring, cabbage leaves or white flowers.

Experience: Add food coloring of any color to each glass and put one leaf or flower into the water. Leave them overnight. In the morning you will see that they have turned into different colors.

Explanation: Plants absorb water and thus nourish their flowers and leaves. This is due to the capillary effect, in which the water itself tends to fill the thin tubes inside the plants. This is how flowers, grass, and large trees feed. By sucking in tinted water, they change their color.

It will take: 2 eggs, 2 glasses of water, salt.

Experience: Gently place the egg in a glass of plain clean water. As expected, it will sink to the bottom (if not, the egg may be rotten and should not be returned to the refrigerator). Pour warm water into the second glass and stir 4-5 tablespoons of salt in it. For the purity of the experiment, you can wait until the water cools down. Then dip the second egg into the water. It will float near the surface.

Explanation: It's all about density. The average density of an egg is much greater than that of plain water, so the egg sinks down. And the density of the saline solution is higher, and therefore the egg rises.

It will take: 2 cups water, 5 cups sugar, wooden sticks for mini skewers, thick paper, transparent glasses, saucepan, food coloring.

Experience: In a quarter cup of water, boil sugar syrup with a couple of tablespoons of sugar. Sprinkle some sugar on paper. Then you need to dip the stick in syrup and collect the sugar with it. Next, distribute them evenly on a stick.

Leave the sticks to dry overnight. In the morning, dissolve 5 cups of sugar in 2 cups of water on fire. You can leave the syrup to cool for 15 minutes, but it should not cool down much, otherwise the crystals will not grow. Then pour it into jars and add different food colors. Lower the prepared sticks into a jar of syrup so that they do not touch the walls and bottom of the jar, a clothespin will help with this.

Explanation: As the water cools, the solubility of sugar decreases, and it begins to precipitate and settle on the walls of the vessel and on your stick with a seed of sugar grains.

Experience: Light a match and hold it at a distance of 10-15 centimeters from the wall. Shine a flashlight on the match and you will see that only your hand and the match itself are reflected on the wall. It would seem obvious, but I never thought about it.

Explanation: Fire does not cast shadows, as it does not prevent light from passing through it.

Many people think that science is boring and dreary. So says the one who has not seen the science shows from "Eureka". What happens in our "lessons"? No cramming, boring formulas and a sour expression on the face of a desk mate. Children like our science, all experiments and experiments, they love our science, our science gives joy and stimulates further knowledge of complex subjects.

Try it yourself, to conduct entertaining experiments in physics for children at home. It will be fun, and most importantly, very informative. Your child will get acquainted with the laws of physics in a playful way, and it has been proven that in the game, children quickly and easily learn the material and remember for a long time.

Entertaining experiments in physics that should be shown to children at home

Simple entertaining experiments in physics that children will remember for a lifetime. Everything you need to conduct these experiments is at your fingertips. So, forward to scientific discoveries!

A ball that doesn't burn!

Props: 2 balloons, candle, matches, water.

Interesting experience: We inflate the first balloon and hold it over a candle to demonstrate to the kids that the balloon will burst from the fire.

Pour plain tap water into the second ball, tie it up and bring the candles to the fire again. And about a miracle! What do we see? The ball does not burst!

The water that is in the balloon absorbs the heat generated by the candle, and therefore the balloon does not burn, therefore, does not burst.

Wonder Pencils

Requisites: plastic bag, ordinary sharpened pencils, water.

Interesting experience: Pour water into a plastic bag - not full, half.

In the place where the bag is filled with water, we pierce the bag through with pencils. What do we see? In places of a puncture - the package does not leak. Why? And, if you do the opposite: first pierce the bag, and then pour water into it, the water will flow through the holes.

How the "miracle" happens: explanation: When polyethylene breaks, its molecules are attracted closer to each other. In our experiment, the polyethylene is pulled around the pencils and keeps the water from leaking.

Non-popping ball

Requisites: balloon, wooden skewer and dishwashing liquid.

Interesting experience: Lubricate the top and bottom of the ball with dishwashing liquid, pierce with a skewer, starting from the bottom.

How the "miracle" happens: explanation: And the secret of this “trick” is simple. To save a whole ball, you need to know where to pierce - at the points of least tension, which are located at the bottom and at the top of the ball.

"Cauliflower

Requisites: 4 ordinary glasses of water, bright food coloring, cabbage leaves or white flowers.

Interesting experience: We add food coloring of any color to each glass and put one leaf of cabbage or a flower in colored water. We leave the "bouquet" for the night. And in the morning... we will see that the cabbage leaves or flowers have become different colors.

How the "miracle" happens: explanation: Plants absorb water to nourish their flowers and leaves. This is due to the capillary effect, in which water itself fills the thin tubes inside the plants. By sucking in the tinted water, the leaves and color change their color.

The egg that can swim

Requisites: 2 eggs, 2 cups of water, salt.

Interesting experience: Carefully place the egg in a glass of plain clean water. We see: it drowned, sank to the bottom (if not, the egg is rotten and it is better to throw it away).
But in the second glass, pour warm water and stir 4-5 tablespoons of salt in it. We wait until the water has cooled, then lower the second egg into the salt water. And what do we see now? The egg floats on the surface and does not sink! Why?

How the "miracle" happens: explanation: It's all about density! The average density of an egg is much greater than the density of plain water, so the egg "sinks". And the density of the saline solution is greater, and therefore the egg “floats”.

Delicious Experiment: Crystal Candy

Requisites: 2 cups water, 5 cups sugar, wooden sticks for mini skewers, thick paper, transparent glasses, saucepan, food coloring.

Interesting experience: Take a quarter cup of water, add 2 tablespoons of sugar, boil the syrup. At the same time, pour a little sugar onto thick paper. Then dip a wooden skewer into the syrup and collect sugar with it.

Let the sticks dry overnight.

In the morning we dissolve 5 glasses of sugar in two glasses of water, leave the syrup to cool for 15 minutes, but not much, otherwise the crystals will not “grow”. Then pour the syrup into jars and add multi-colored food coloring. We lower the skewers with sugar into jars so that they do not touch either the walls or the bottom (you can use a clothespin). What's next? And then we observe the process of crystal growth, we are waiting for the result in order to ... eat!

How the “miracle” happens: explanation: As soon as the water begins to cool, the solubility of sugar decreases and it precipitates, settling on the walls of the vessel and on a skewer with a seed of sugar grains.

"Eureka"! Science without boredom!

There is another option to motivate children to study science - order a science show at the Evrika Development Center. Oh, what's not here!

Show program "Fun Kitchen"

Here, the kids are waiting for exciting experiments with those things and products that are available in any kitchen. The kids will try to drown the tangerine; make drawings on milk, check the egg for freshness, and also find out why milk is useful.

"Tricks"

This program contains experiments that at first glance seem like real magic tricks, but in fact they are all explained with the help of science. The kids will find out: why the balloon over the candle does not burst; what makes an egg float, why a balloon sticks to a wall... and other interesting experiments.

"Entertaining physics"

Does the air weigh, why does a fur coat warm, what is common between the experiment with a candle and the shape of the wing of birds and aircraft, can a piece of fabric hold water, can an eggshell of a whole elephant withstand these and other questions, the kids will receive an answer by becoming a participant in the show " Entertaining physics" from "Eureka".

These entertaining experiments in physics for schoolchildren can be carried out in the classroom to draw students' attention to the phenomenon being studied, while repeating and consolidating the educational material: they deepen and expand the knowledge of schoolchildren, contribute to the development of logical thinking, instill interest in the subject.

It Matters: Science Show Safety

The main part of the props and consumables is purchased directly from specialized stores of manufacturing companies in the United States, and therefore you can be sure of their quality and safety;
Evrika Child Development Center non-scientific shows of materials that are toxic or otherwise harmful to children's health, easily breakable objects, lighters and other “harmful and dangerous”;
Before ordering scientific shows, each client can find out a detailed description of the experiments being carried out, and, if necessary, sensible explanations;
Before the start of science shows, the children are instructed on the rules of conduct at the Show, and professional Hosts make sure that these rules are not violated during the show.

For many students, physics is a rather complex and incomprehensible subject. In order to interest the child in this science, parents use all sorts of tricks: they tell fantastic stories, show entertaining experiments, and cite the biographies of great scientists as an example.

How to conduct experiments in physics with children?

Teachers warn not to limit acquaintance with physical phenomena only by demonstrating entertaining experiments and experiments.
Experiments must necessarily be accompanied by detailed explanations.
To begin with, the child needs to be explained that physics is a science that studies the general laws of nature. Physics studies the structure of matter, its forms, its movements and changes. At one time, the famous British scientist Lord Kelvin quite boldly stated that in our world there is only one science - physics, everything else is the usual collection of stamps. And there is some truth in this statement, because the whole Universe, all planets and all worlds (supposed and existing) obey the laws of physics. Of course, the statements of the most eminent scientists about physics and its laws are unlikely to make a junior schoolchild throw away his mobile phone and enthusiastically delve into the study of a physics textbook.

Today we will try to bring to the attention of parents some entertaining experiences that will help to interest your children and answer many of their questions. And who knows, maybe thanks to these home experiments, physics will become your child's favorite subject. And very soon our country will have its own Isaac Newton.

Interesting experiments with water for children - 3 instructions

For 1 experiment you will need two eggs, regular table salt and 2 glasses of water.

One egg must be carefully lowered into a glass half filled with cold water. It will immediately sink to the bottom. Fill the second glass with warm water and stir in it 4-5 tbsp. l. salt. Wait until the water in the glass is cold, and carefully dip the second egg into it. It will remain on the surface. Why?

Explanation of the results of the experiment

The density of plain water is lower than that of an egg. That is why the egg sinks to the bottom. The average density of salt water is significantly higher than the density of the egg, so it remains on the surface. Having demonstrated this experience to a child, one can notice that sea water is an ideal environment for learning to swim. After all, the laws of physics and in the sea, no one canceled. The saltier the water in the sea, the less effort is required to stay afloat. The most salty is the Red Sea. Due to the high density, the human body is literally pushed to the surface of the water. Learning to swim in the Red Sea is pure pleasure.

For 2 experiments you will need: a glass bottle, a bowl of colored water and hot water.

Warm up the bottle with hot water. Pour hot water out of it and turn it upside down. Set in a bowl of tinted cold water. The liquid from the bowl will begin to flow into the bottle on its own. By the way, the level of tinted liquid in it will be (compared to the bowl) significantly higher.

How to explain the result of the experiment to the child?

The preheated bottle is filled with warm air. Gradually the bottle cools and the gas is compressed. The bottle is under pressure. The pressure of the atmosphere affects the water, and it enters the bottle. Its inflow will stop only when the pressure does not equalize.

For 3 experience you will need a plexiglass ruler or a regular plastic comb, woolen or silk fabric.

In the kitchen or bathroom, adjust the faucet so that a thin stream of water flows from it. Ask the child to strongly rub the ruler (comb) with a dry woolen cloth. Then the child should quickly bring the ruler closer to the stream of water. The effect will amaze him. The jet of water will bend and reach for the ruler. A funny effect can be obtained by using two rulers at the same time. Why?

An electrified dry comb or a Plexiglas ruler becomes a source of an electric field, which is why the jet is forced to bend in its direction.

You can learn more about all these phenomena in physics lessons. Any child will want to feel like a “master” of water, which means that the lesson will never be boring and uninteresting for him.

How can you prove that light travels in a straight line?

To conduct the experiment, you will need 2 sheets of thick cardboard, a regular flashlight, 2 stands.

Experiment progress: In the center of each cardboard, carefully cut out round holes of the same diameter. We put them on stands. The holes must be at the same height. We place the switched on lantern on a pre-prepared stand made of books. You can use any box of the right size. We direct the flashlight beam into the hole in one of the cardboard boxes. The child stands on the opposite side and sees the light. We ask the child to move away, and we shift to the side any of the cardboard boxes. Their holes are no longer on the same level. We return the child to the same place, but he no longer sees the light. Why?

Explanation: Light can only travel in a straight line. If there is an obstacle in the path of light, it stops.

Experience - dancing shadows

For this experience you will need: a white screen, carved cardboard figures that need to be hung on threads in front of the screen, and ordinary candles. Candles should be placed behind the figures. No screen - you can use a regular wall

Experiment progress: Light the candles. If the candle is moved further away, then the shadow from the figure will become smaller; if the candle is moved to the right, the figure will move to the left. The more candles you light, the more interesting the dance of the figures will be. Candles can be lit in turn, raised higher, lower, creating very interesting dance compositions.

Interesting experience with shadow

For the next experiment, you will need a screen, a fairly powerful electric lamp and a candle. If you direct the light of a powerful electric lamp at a burning candle, then a shadow will appear on the white canvas not only from the candle, but also from its flame. Why? Everything is simple, it turns out that in the flame itself there are red-hot opaque particles.

Simple experiments with sound for younger students

Ice experiment

If you are lucky and you find a piece of dry ice at home, you can hear an unusual sound. He is quite unpleasant - very thin and howling. To do this, put dry ice in a regular teaspoon. True, the spoon will immediately stop sounding as soon as it cools. Why does this sound appear?

When ice comes into contact with a spoon (in accordance with the laws of physics), carbon dioxide is released, it is he who makes the spoon vibrate and make an unusual sound.

funny phone

Take two identical boxes. Poke a hole in the middle of the bottom and lid of each of the boxes with a thick needle. Place ordinary matches in boxes. Pull the cord (10-15 cm long) into the holes made. Each end of the lace must be tied in the middle of the match. It is advisable to use fishing line made of nylon or silk thread. Each of the two participants in the experiment takes his "tube" and moves away to the maximum distance. The line should be taut. One brings the phone to his ear and the other to his mouth. That's all! The phone is ready - you can make small talk!

Echo

Make a pipe out of cardboard. Its height should be about three hundred mm, and its diameter about sixty mm. Place a clock on a regular pillow and cover it on top with a pipe made in advance. In this case, you can hear the sound of the clock if your ear is directly above the pipe. In all other positions, the sound of the clock is not audible. However, if you take a piece of cardboard and place it at an angle of forty-five degrees to the axis of the pipe, then the sound of the clock will be perfectly audible.

How to experiment with magnets with your child at home - 3 ideas

Children simply adore playing with a magnet, so they are ready to join in any experiment with this object.

How to pull objects out of water with a magnet?

For the first experiment, you will need a lot of bolts, paper clips, springs, a plastic water bottle and a magnet.

The children are given the task: to pull objects out of the bottle without getting their hands wet, and of course the table. As a rule, children quickly find a solution to this problem. During the experience, parents can tell children about the physical properties of a magnet and explain that the force of a magnet works not only through plastic, but also through water, paper, glass, etc.

How to make a compass?

Take cold water in a saucer and put a small piece of a napkin on its surface. Carefully place a needle on a napkin, which we first rub against a magnet. The napkin gets wet and sinks to the bottom of the saucer, and the needle remains on the surface. Gradually, it smoothly turns one end to the north, the other to the south. The correctness of a homemade compass can be verified for real.

A magnetic field

First, draw a straight line on a piece of paper and place a regular iron paperclip on it. Slowly move the magnet towards the line. Mark the distance at which the paperclip will be attracted to the magnet. Take another magnet and do the same experiment. The paperclip will be attracted to the magnet from a farther distance or from a closer one. Everything will depend solely on the "strength" of the magnet. In this example, the child can be told about the properties of magnetic fields. Before telling the child about the physical properties of the magnet, it is necessary to explain that the magnet does not attract all the “brilliant things”. A magnet can only attract iron. Such pieces of iron as nickel and aluminum are too tough for him.
