Science Experiment at Home: Volcanic Eruption!

Due to online learning, our kids need to make videos of science projects and such for their teachers to assess. This is a video DJ Dan made for his science class to show an irreversible reaction. He chose to make a volcano and went on to show how to make an volcanic eruption using baking powder and vinegar. Super fun, even for adults!

Watch the video on YouTube (link here) :)

For those who want to create the volcanic eruption without having to build a volcano, simply place all the ingredients (follow order in video) in a glass.

Coca-Cola and Mentos Experiment

Today, we took the kids to see Dr. Balloon's Science Adventure in klpac. We were inspired by Dr Balloon to try this science experiment at home with the kids.

What you need: A bottle of Coca-cola, Mentos (x2), Balloon.

Watch the video to see how you can try this at home with your kids. :)

Have fun!

PS Don't be scaredy cats like us - see if you can keep the bottle upright :P

Homeschooling: How to Make Giant Bubbles at Home

Last week, we took our kids to see Dr Bubble with Milkshake show at PJ Live Arts in Jaya One. This interactive storytelling show features all things bubbles - we got to see monster bubbles, bubble in a bubble, smokey bubbles, and much more.

It's school holidays this week, but ironically, BabySumoKids requested that we do "homeschooling" on the first day of the school holidays. First lesson of the day was Science, and for Science, Hubby was the teacher-in-charge, and he decided to let them learn and play with bubbles, as inspired by Dr Bubble. You too can have a magical day of bubble fun at home with your kids - I guarantee that they will love it!

You can see easily buy bubble solution in the stores, which usually comes with a bubble wand. However, you can also DIY your own bubble solution - simply mix washing liquid with water in a shallow container / plate. For the bubble wand, we used a variety of apparatus to achieve different bubbles. The best one we made today was using an old badminton racket (with no more strings in the centre) to make giant bubbles. The racket was bent at an angle to enable the kids to easily dip it in the bubble solution, and then create lots of big bubbles. If you do not have an old racket in the house, you can buy a cheap one at Daiso or DIY for slightly over RM5.

 Yay we can make giant bubbles too! :)

Our giant bubble!

We also used mesh to create multiple bubbles in one go, as well as straws to create "caterpillar bubbles" (ie several small bubbles attached to one another to look like a caterpillar).

We sure had fun experimenting with bubbles today :)
