Halloween Science Experiments

There are plenty of easy and inexpensive experiments that you can do at home with common household items.

For example, you can create a fizzy pumpkin or inflate a monster balloon using baking soda and vinegar, make a bubbling pumpkin out of dish soap, or make a flying ghost out of coffee filter.

Not only are these experiments fun, but they’re also a great way to teach your kids about the scientific process. So this Halloween, don’t just limit yourself to candy and costumes – try doing some experiments too!
