Spooky Dollar Store Science

Turn Halloween into a hands-on science lab with eight creepy-cool experiments using inexpensive, easy-to-find supplies. Spooky Dollar Store Science helps curious kids ages 6-12 explore forces, solubility, polymers, surface tension, static electricity, chemical reactions, chromatography, density, and buoyancy through real experiments they can do at home, in a homeschool setting, or in the classroom.

Every investigation includes simple materials, clear step-by-step directions, a kid-friendly science explanation, a deeper Grown-Up Science note, and an extension challenge that encourages young scientists to change one variable and investigate again.

Inside you'll explore:
- Ghost Balloon Rocket - forces and Newton's third law
- Dissolving Candy Corn Lab - solubility and temperature
- Pumpkin Guts Slime - polymers and cross-linking
- Magic Witch's Milk - surface tension and soap molecules
- Dancing Ghosts - static electricity
- Bubbling Witch's Brew - acid-base reactions and carbon dioxide
- Candy Color Chromatography - pigments and separation
- Floating Pumpkin Challenge - density and buoyancy

Low prep. Screen free. Real science. Easy supplies.
