Sharing is caring!

Warmer weather means lots of water play and, for us, that means plenty of  simple water science experiments to try with the kids!

Since we’ve been homeschooling, I’ve learned that science doesn’t have to be a complicated subject to teach.

Many scientific concepts sound complicated (and really are amazingly intricate), but showing kids how they work doesn’t have to be complex.

Turns out that you can use a few household supplies and demonstrate how scientific principles work in a kid-friendly way!

And that’s why I’ve rounded up 40 easy water science experiments that would be great to share with kids – either indoors or outdoors!

Don’t miss our list of science experiments that you can do in just 15 minutes too!

Preschoolers are curious creatures and science experiments, even very simple experiments can fuel their curiosity. Learning how to observe, predict what might happen, and discuss what is happening are amazing tools for the future!

Science surrounds us, inside and out. Kids love checking things out with magnifying glasses, creating chemical reactions with kitchen ingredients, and of course exploring stored energy! Check out these 35 awesome preschool science experiments to get started.

There lots of easy science concepts that you can introduce kids to very early on, including water play!

You might not even think about science when your toddler pushes a card down a ramp, plays in front of the mirror, laughs at your shadow puppets, or bounces balls over and over again. See where I am going with this list? What else can you add if you stop to think about it?

Science starts early, and you can be a part of that with setting up science at home with everyday materials. Or you can bring easy science to a group of kids! We find a ton of value in cheap science activities and experiments.

Helpful Science Resources To Get You Started

Here are a few resources that will help you introduce science more effectively to your kiddos or students and feel confident yourself when presenting materials. You’ll find helpful free printables throughout.

Easy Peasy & Fun Water Experiments for Kids to do This Summer!

Water experiments are a favorite of my boys. Really, it’s just water generally that they love. But they love most science activities as well, so these two combined are magical in our house.

But learning with water is even better, right? And it’s always fun to experiment with things!

Kids don’t really even know they’re learning anything because it’s just all fun!

Learning with water science experiments!

In the summer, we’re all about water experiments. Cooling off plus learning? Perfect!

But it can also be so challenging to keep coming up with ideas all on your own day after day.

How can you learn the most with simple science experiment for young kids?

Put the scientific method to use.

Give your child a pencil to jot down information, or have them record their voice.

Record their predictions prior to starting the water experiments.

Form a hypothesis.

What do you think you will happen?

During the experiment, you are gathering data about what is happening.

Do more questions arise?

What would happen if we tried ____?

Test our your questions that are coming up.

This is a very simplified way to apply the scientific method when doing science experiments with toddlers and preschoolers.

They may not be able to identify what it is exactly that they’re thinking might happen, so use this as a simple way to explore.

What are things you do with water to experiment & learn?

• What Absorbs Water? A stem activity to see what items from nature will absorb the water into them rather than displacing.
• Sink or Float Water Experiment ! This is a fun science lesson about density to see what items from around the house, their favorite toys, will sink to the bottom of a tub versus stay on top.
• What Dissolves in Water? We did this water experiment with glasses of water or plastic cups, we’ve also done it in mason jars in the past. Gather some pantry items and put a spoonful in the water and give it a stir! What happens?
• Water Cycle Experiment . Have your preschooler give you predictions! What will happen to an ice cube as it gets heated? Explore the full water cycle in this simple stem activity.
• Colorful Water Play. Mixing up different colors to see what color you can make. Check out this variation as well. Water Displacement with Pennies . Kids Activities Blog has explored what coins do with a cup of water!
• Liquid Layering Tutorial . Check out Whiz Kid Science for a full tutorial on how to layer different colors of liquids based on their densities.
• Egg Float Experiment . Nerdy Science has how to make an egg float.
• Reverse Water Pollution . Head over to Along the Way to check out this experiment on reversing water pollution.
• Magic Pepper Water Experiment. All you need for this simple experiment is some water, pepper and a drop of dish soap! It so much fun to watch as the dish soap breaks the surface tension.
• Water Xylophone! Ever wanted to make music with cups of water? It’s not as hard as you think! Check out the tutorial.
• What Holds More? Grab some of your child’s favorite toys that can double as containers (we used wagons) and predict and test what holds more water!
• Walking Water Experiment. Pour water into a couple mason jars and add food coloring to each. Connect the two with a paper towel and see what happens. Get all the details here.

Thanks for including my post, Jamie! I also love the changing states of water experiment. I did it once in my first grade classroom (with the addition of some salt during the ice stage) because a child had asked why cars had all that white stuff on them in the winter time. (We use salt on the snowy roads here.) Nothing teaches like hands-on doing!

June 5, 2013 at 10:53 am

Our water cycle experiment also included salt for the same reason. I have an inquisitive child as well. Love your absorbing experiment – we did it the other day outside. I’ll be sharing that soon.
