Sugar Cube Absorption Experiment 🧪 Today, the Three Beans tried out a fun and easy science experiment to take a look at the properties of different materials. We tried the Sugar Cube Absorption Experiment! If you want to give it a try too, you’ll need: 🧬 Some sugar cubes 🧬 A Plate 🧬 Water 🧬 Food colouring 🧬 Aluminium foil 🧬 Cling film 🧬 Paper 🧬 Baking parchment 🧬 Kitchen roll This experiment allows kids to learn about: 🧪Absorption 🧪Hygroscopic Behaviour 🧪Dissolving 🧪Capillary Action 🧪Changes of State 🧪Properties of Materials - specifically, Porosity Check out our page on Facebook for the full instructions of what to do by searching @ThreeBeansPlaytime #threebeansplaytime #3beansplaytime #funscience #funscienceforkids #funlearning #funlearningathome #funlearningforkids #simplescience #homelearning #homelearningfun #scienceactivities #eyfsideas #eyfsinspiration https://www.instagram.com/p/CDfOCQUnCh0/?igshid=fvfjti3e0q1s

Hurray for books that are full of cool surprises! When I first saw the title of Idan Ben-Barak's "Do Not Lick This Book!" (2018), I assumed it was just going to be pure, joyful silliness. And it kind of is. But IT'S ALSO A SCIENCE BOOK!! How awesome is that? Led by a bunch of cartoony microbes, and illustrated by Julian Frost with super cool (and artistically embellished) ultra-zoomed-in electron microscope photographs of everyday things, the story explores various types of microscopic critters and what they do. This one is educational AND lots of fun! ⚫ ⚫ ⚫ #noodlenutskidsbooks #bookstagraminthe6ix #donotlickthisbook #donotlick #dontlickthisbook #idanbenbarak #julianfrost #linnearundgren #germs #microbes #funscience #funscienceforkids #scienceforkids #stemforkids #kidsscience #kidssciencebooks #stemkids #stemeducationforkids #stembooks #stembooksforkids #sciencebooksforkids #scienceliteracy #biologyforkids #makingsciencefun #learningthroughreading #booknerd #booknerdigan #kidsbooks #foundpictures #readingtokids https://www.instagram.com/p/B2uvT2fHllU/?igshid=x4lyk03m8bsn

Fun Science for Kids. The one with the ‘hand’! Watch Lizzie doing her magic then learn how to perform ‘magic’ yourself (with adult supervision). The video also gives a simple explanation of the process. It can be found on my channel (see bio) in the Science for Children playlist. On my website there are also extension/follow on activities to get those little minds working rather than just copying this experiment. Age? I did this with my two year old granddaughter and she loved it. But any age that finds Lizzie Witch fun is probably the answer! #funscience #funscienceforkids #scienceathome #primaryscience #preschool #preschoolteacher #nurserylearning #nurseryactivities #nevertooyoung #vinegarandbicarb #blowupaballoon #underfives @sciencemagazine @scienceforkids @sciencesparks @science.kids #lovescience #holidayactivitiesforkids #scienceprojects

Does An Orange 🍊 Sink Or Float? A Fun and Easy Density Experiment For Kids! Does an orange float or sink when placed in water? Seems like a fairly straight forward question! ...But, is it? 🤔 We decided to give this fun density science experiment a try and answer the question of whether or not an Orange does, in fact, float or sink, whilst learning a unique characteristic of oranges. What you'll need: • An orange 🍊 • A deep bowl or container 🍲 • Water 💦 Instructions: Before you start, ask the children to give their hypothesis. What do they think is going to happen and why? 1. Fill the bowl with water. 2. Put the orange in the water and watch what happens. 3. Peel the rind from the orange and try the experiment again, what happens this time? What's The Science? The first time you put the orange in the bowl of water it probably floated on the surface, after you removed the rind however, it probably sank to the bottom. An orange with a peel is heavier than an orange without a peel. So why does the orange with the peel (the heavier one) float and the orange without the peel (the lighter one) sink? The secret to this experiment is DENSITY! The orange with the peel floats because the peel is porous - has lots of tiny empty spaces in it. These ‘empty spaces’ within the peel are filled with air, making tiny little air pockets within the orange’s skin. These pockets of air help increase the buoyancy of the orange (it’s ability to float). On the other hand, when you remove the peel from the orange, you are in fact making it lighter, but you are also removing those tiny air pockets. Therefore, the orange without the peel is denser than the water and so it sinks to the bottom. #threebeansplaytime #3beansplaytime #homescience #funscienceforkids #stem #stemeducation #stemforkids #stemeducationforkids #homelearning #homelearningfun #eyfsideas #density #floatorsink #sinkorfloat https://www.instagram.com/p/CB1amw5nJzH/?igshid=v6cyvjwdsxyr

We’ve been having so much fun making Bubble Snakes and Colour Bubble Snakes too! This also presented some fantastic learning opportunities for the Three Beans. Check out our latest video on YouTube to witness the fun and see the details in the video description for everything you need to know about making your own bubble snakes and the science/learning behind it 😃 (Link to our channel is in the bio) #threebeansplaytime #3beansplaytime #bubblesnakes #howtomakebubblesnakes #colourbubbles #makeamillionbubbles #learningathome #funlearning #funlearningathome #funscience #funscienceforkids #outdoorlearning #eyfsideas #eyfs #eyfsinspiration https://www.instagram.com/p/B-7XLayH_KW/?igshid=3i59chod5qqn

🌋 Make a yeast volcano. Use self drying clay, acrylic paint and then a spray of varnish. It’s a fun introduction to volcanoes and the science of yeast as a living plant. If you can’t get fresh yeast then dried will do. #makeavolcano #clayvolcano #yeastbeast #funwithyeast #funscience #scienceforkids #yeastexperiment #activitiesforkids #artscience #sciencemeetsart #whattodotoday #instascience #instakids #instacrafts #scienceisfun #enjoyscience #scienceisfun🔬 #funscienceforkids
