WFMW – Summer Science Box

June 29, 2011 By: amyswandering3 Comments

I got this idea from Thrifty Decorating and it was a hit!!

I printed the experiments onto cardstock, along with the box rules, and put them on a ring. The cards stay inside a storage baggie when in use. The tools are in a smaller tub, which sits inside of a large a tub that holds all of the experiment ingredients.

Leave me a comment if you would like me to email you my experiment card file.

Box Contents:

  • baking soda
  • vinegar
  • dish soap
  • coffee filters
  • baggies
  • straws
  • string
  • clear plastic punch cups
  • plastic spoons
  • bag of misc junk
  • magnets
  • tongs
  • funnels
  • measuring cup
  • measuring spoons
  • droppers

Box Rules:

  • Put newspaper or plastic tablecloth on the table.
  • Keep instruction cards in the baggie at all times.
  • Read all directions before starting
  • Wash & dry items completely when finished.
  • Put tools in the correct tubs.
  • Do not use items in tubs for anything but experiments.
  • Any arguing will get you banned from the box for 2 days.

Experiments I used:

  • Magnetic Pickups
  • Fizz & Bubble
  • Exploding Lunch Bag
  • Music in the Kitchen
  • Color Climbers
  • Introduce Yourself to a Worm
  • Levitate a Paperclip
  • Paper Noise 
  • How to Jump a Mile

I plan on adding more experiments as the summer goes on.

Happy Experimenting!!

Make a Coke Icee in your ice cream maker

Freeze Pops look simple if you have a vacuum sealer

Strawberry Orange Juice Pops remind me of candy corn on a stick
