Halloween Experiments for Kids

Halloween is a time for fun, costumes, and candy, but did you know it can also be a great opportunity to explore science? These spooky science experiments are perfect for kids of all ages and will make Halloween even more exciting!

Ghost Slime

Materials: Clear glue, baking soda, contact lens solution, food coloring (optional)

Instructions:

In a bowl, mix the clear glue and baking soda.
Slowly add the contact lens solution until the slime forms.
Add food coloring for a ghostly white or green hue.
Stretch and play with your ghostly slime!

Witch's Brew

Materials: Clear liquid (like water or apple juice), food coloring, dry ice, a large bowl

Instructions:

Fill a large bowl with the clear liquid.
Add food coloring to create a spooky green or purple potion.
Carefully add dry ice to the liquid. The dry ice will create a fog-like effect, making your potion look like a bubbling witch's brew.

Floating Apples

Materials: Apples, salt, water, a tall glass

Instructions:

Fill a tall glass with water.
Place an apple in the water. It should sink.
Slowly add salt to the water. The apple will start to float!

Edible Candy Corn

Materials: Sugar, corn syrup, water, food coloring (yellow, orange, and white)

Instructions:

In a saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, and water. Heat until the mixture reaches a hard-ball stage.
Pour the mixture onto a greased baking sheet.
While the mixture is still hot, add food coloring in the desired order (yellow, orange, white).
Let the candy cool and harden, then break it into pieces.
