This awesome tutorial takes the baking soda and vinegar reaction that is a favorite of many science experiments for kids, and makes it even MORE fun by using it to power a LEGO car!

Simply fill a large, clear container with water. Then, ask your toddler to find different objects to put in it, and to guess whether they will sink or float. Try using legos, balls, corks, toy cars, fruit, cups, spoons - really any small object that you can safely immerse in water!

This is a great at home experiment for toddlers and preschoolers, and provides a fun visual lesson in density! Objects that are less dense than water will float, and those that are more dense than water will sink. Shape also plays a role - if more of the object is touching the surface of the water it will be more buoyant and likely to float.

Cut a few stalks of celery by the white root. Add 20-25 drops of food dye into a vase or large glass with about 6-8 ounces of water. Blue food coloring works the best! Insert the celery (with leaves still intact) into the vase and observe after 36 and 48 hours. The leaves should appear more vibrant than before in a bold new color.

This easy science experiment for preschoolers helps them visually learn how plants "drink" water by adding color to the process!
