DIY Kids Science Experiment

With a soon to be 8-year-old daughter, I am very passionate about her education.  I encourage her that she can be anything she wants to be when she grows up – a doctor, a teacher, a scientist, a writer – anything her heart desires. Did you know that girls only have a 1 in 1,000 chance to continue in science? Wow.

We are excited to be partnering on this post with today. Green Works, the naturally sourced cleaner, is supporting girls in STEM programs to help the next generation of female scientists unleash their power and discover their #NaturalPotential. Inspired by their own female scientist founder,  is embarking on a multi-faceted integrated marketing campaign in collaboration with the American Association of University Women (AAUW) to engage girls and inspire them to explore careers in science.

Green Works put together this for their girls in STEM initiative. I encourage you to watch this with your daughter.

This week, Harper and I did a fun Fizzy Foam experiment at home. It’s really simple, and a very cool way to learn about science. Doing science experiments at home is a great way to engage in practical learning experiences with your kids.

Harper and I learned about acids and bases through the Fizzy Foam science experiment. You only need a handful of household supplies for this project. Harper was able to help me gather everything and do the experiment.
