then i made a page with the experiment…the list of items. the instructions…and then the how it works science part!
then i gathered all the supplies up that were needed……
and labeled everything with a number…
and i also got a little sandwich baggie for each separate experiment and included the little stuff….
blow up a balloon has the yeast and balloon and the water bottle is the box labeled with the number 6.
and put the tablet right on top…(and i threw in snickers just cause)
most of the stuff is pretty fun and would make a great rainy day project! we are going to lava lamps this week..and the slime sometime when i get brave!!!
if you want to print off the 17 experiments you can go HERE (each page has the link with proper credit)
i also later went in and added notes like what happened when you use double the yeast, or try all different kind of balloons, which one worked the best? i wanted him to experiment beyond just the regular instructions.
i went in and added pictures because some of things need pictures to better explain…

Kyler absolutely loves it! We have already done quite a few of the experiments and he always has a HUGE smile on his face! This was such an AWESOME gift!!!! Thanks Kim!!!! 🙂
Laura says
Oh my goodness! What an amazing collection of projects. I'd seen several of them before, but to put them all together in a box with the supplies? Genius!! I know what my son will be getting for his birthday now. 🙂
Jessica @ Sunny Tuesday says
That is SUCH a great idea! What a lucky guy!
Kristy says
This is such a great idea! Filing it away for use in the future. 🙂
Cyndi Cook Travis says
What a great idea! A couple of years ago I gave my newphew a smiliar book (but not a kit) and he still uses for his science fair projects!
kate says
Wow! I love this so much and can't wait to start gathering up the supplies. Thanks so much for sharing!
Kimberly from "bugaboo" says
Yeah. Like I don't have enough of your crap pinned already… 😉 Speaking of, I made your lego mat! Though it doesn't look as good as yours. That's what procrastination will get you!

East Meets West says

Carrie, The Modern Housewife says
Awesome! Thanks for providing us some fun activities for the summer!!!
Holly Baker says
Thank you so very much! I homeschool and we are starting Science Fridays. This will be perfect!!!
Michelle says
This made my day! I have been searching for anything to make lessons fun for the students but this will help with my teachers too! After reading this I have decided to make a Science Kit Box for all 9 of the classrooms with starter kits for upcoming projects/experiments according to their curr. plans! Brownies points for me!
Thank you so much!!

Kimbo West says

Annelise says
Found this on Pinterest, thank you SO much! I can imagine the work that went into this, and I can also imagine my 3 boys having a LOT of fun with this.
Lauren Welsh says
LOVE THIS! I am working with the scientific method in my Montessori classroom and I’m tired of the same old experiments! Thank you so much for posting this!!
Teresa says
I’ve been searching all over for summer science and this is fabulous. I’m going to make 5 boxes and send them off to my nephews and keep two for my kids. Will be great for the kids to talk about together when we meet at the end of the summer. The kids are 3-8 and I think ALL of them will love it!
Ms. Math Pixie says
Can I just say, AMAZING? This is so cool – good on ya’ for putting the time into this neat box of surprises!
Sheila says
OK Seriously this is one of the BEST ideas I have seen in quite some time!!! Is there a place on your site that you show all of the experiments, supplies, and journal pages? I would love to make this, but to be honest it seems such a daunting task. I’m a homeschooling mom and this would be perfect when we need a hands-on activity! I would love a response! 😉
I will be following this blog for sure!!!! Thanks for everything!
Kimbo says
i turned them into a google doc…https://docs.google.com/document/d/14v-TC3D22k1UtMHs3Fa0310O5bq49rSP1QJA3tsqQeY/edit
it’s really not that hard to put all the stuff together. we had alot of stuff on hands….(like straws and balloons) good luck
Sheila says
THANK you so much! Really looking forward to this project! 😉
[email protected] says
This is a fabulous idea. I can think of several kids on my list who would just love this. I really appreciate all of the time that you put into writing out each of the experiments (and then sharing it.) I’m sure this was a huge undertaking for you!
Cyndi says
I love this! I am going to make a box for my kids for Christmas! Thanks so much for the idea!
Heather says
Thank you so much!! I am so excited. I was trying to think if a unique and educational gift for some friends’ children and this is absolutely perfect!!
Jen says
Thanks you for compiling all this! I made some cute labels for them and they are going under the tree next week! Thanks for all your hard work!
Melissa says
WOW!!! This is all sorts of awesome! Thank you so much for sharing your hard work 😀
