Need some super simple science experiments?!

We adore science experiments at our house. I think experimenting and learning the hows and whys of science in a hands-on interactive way is the best way to learn and really make it interesting.  We have done lots of fun simple science experiments in the past and I thought I would bring them all together in one post to make them easier to find!

Science can really be so awesome! Add some explosions, some color, chemical reactions, sounds or smells and science is just downright COOL!
