The kitchen is a great place to explore curiosity and experimentation using everyday items.

Experiment 1 Float or Sink

Fill a bowl with water and test different kitchen objects. Ask children to predict what will happen and explain why.

Experiment 2 Colour Mixing

Use water and food colouring or fruit juices to mix colours. Encourage children to guess outcomes before mixing.

Experiment 3 Sorting Challenge

Ask children to sort ingredients by size, colour or texture. This supports observation and early classification skills.

Tips
Ask open-ended questions
Let children lead the activity
Focus on discovery rather than right answers

Simple experiments help children develop curiosity, confidence and problem-solving skills while having fun at home.
