Bringing our children to science in a playful and experimental way is possible. A challenge if we do not have specific training but also a very enriching and fun experience. I offer this resource that is a great idea of a mother named Son to make your first home chemistry experiments With children of four and five years.
He experiment starts up very interesting teaching resources and works fine motor skills, reading, writing and numbers, depending on the age of the child and with the help of the parents if they are still small.
A dropper is needed, protective glasses if we want to make it more realistic although nothing dangerous is handled, glass jars and test tubes with quantity markers.
The objective must be explained well: that they are capable of play a formula and may, with more or less help, interpret the quantities of each element and mix them correctly. If they are not able to read we can draw a picture that represents each liquid: a cow for milk, a pineapple for juice or a cup for coffee.
They have to collect with the dropper the quantities specified in the formula, measure them in the specimens and then mix them in the jars, being aware that the result will vary according to the quantity of each product.
Surely they will have a great time playing scientists and making these fun and simple home chemical experiments. And thanks to Son for allowing me to share it with you.
