The amazing things that parents and teachers alike can do with preschoolers to teach or open their horizons to science amazes me. The first experiment I would like to mention is the volcano explosion. It is awesome, messy and fun. It completely delighted my five year old and two year old as well as my thirty year old (husband). Who doesn?t love blowing stuff up. This is the simplest activity to do that I have seen in a long time. You start with a carbonated beverage. We chose the off brand red drink because lava is red, right? You then take a tube of Mentos and drop it into the two-liter. The result is awesome! Soda will shoot out the top at unprecedented heights. The Lava Lamp blob is another fun experiment. It is something that even toddlers will enjoy. You take a empty water bottle or some cool coke bottle test tubes and fill it 3/4 full of vegetable oil. Then fill the remainder with a little water. The water will sink. Then add a Fizzy Bath tablet (any color-blue, red) and put the lid on. The bath tablet will form to the water and look like a blob. You can shake it, turn it upside down, etc. The color will float back and forth.
