Kids Science Experiments

Free! Kids Science Experiment contains lab directions for over 30 experiments. From the app’s main screen, users can browse experiments by title and icon. When they see an experiment that interests them, users can tap on it. The app will then show them the materials they will need to complete the experiment, the instructions for completing the experiment, and an explanation of the phenomenon being demonstrated by the experiment. Users can return to the main menu by tapping the “<” button on the top left of the screen. Instructional Ideas Teachers can have students complete an experiment found in this…

1. Teachers can have students complete an experiment found in this app, either in school or at home. As they complete the experiment, students can take pictures of the different stages. Students can then import the pictures into a presentation that shows them completing the experiment, and submit the presentation to their teacher for grading.
2. Students can conduct three or more different experiments found in this app. Next, students can order the experiments from most to least challenging, in terms of how difficult it was to complete the experiments. Students can include a written explanation that justifies their rankings.
3. Teachers can discuss a scientific phenomenon with their students. After the discussion, teachers can have students view the experiments in this app and identify ones that relate to the phenomenon. For example, if discussing salinity, students would have to identify the “Make an Egg Float in Salt Water” experiment. Teachers can then require students to explain the connection between the phenomenon and experiment, either orally or in writing.
