Science Fun: Experiments for Kids
Science Fun’s experiment library uses familiar materials to explore liquids, plants, weather and motion.
Named projects include a storm in a glass, a rain gauge, a growing bean, flowers that change color and a test of whether an egg floats. Because each experiment has its own page, picking a single investigation is easy. Slow projects like the bean lend themselves to drawing what changes over time.

Who it suits
The publisher frames it as family experimenting, with a grown-up doing the preparation. The list reads as a menu for an adult to choose from more than a set of instructions for a young child working alone.
Notes for parents
Quiet observation projects sit next to more dramatic demonstrations, and some take a lot more preparation than others.
