Oil + Water Chemistry

  1. Grades 3-5

$29.954.9

Oil and water may not mix, but kids and chemistry definitely do! First, set up your own chemistry lab. Add fizzy tablets to oil and dyed water to make an underwater “volcano,” make colorful, swirly art, explore the concept of density when you build an oil-and-water-powered ship-in-a-bottle, and more!


Why it’s awesome

  1. 3 experiments

    Make an underwater volcano, bubble bottle, and underwater fireworks.

  2. Sailing ship-in-a-bottle
