Good morning, how are you? I would like to welcome you to our series sharing Homeschool Resources: Science. I would like to ask you to take a look at the Homeschool Resources I’ve shared and let me know if you’ve used these resources with your students or not.

Bizarre Stuff You Can Make in Your Kitchen– Grades 4-12, with parental supervision
This website is an archive of classic “old school” science experiments from the early to mid-20th century. The experiments are easily made with stuff you will find around the house — especially in the kitchen. That said, the creator of the site doesn’t guarantee all of the experiments will work or that they are all safe, so parental discretion and oversight is a must.
You will find experiments that include every branch of Science including:
- Gasses and Liquids
- Force, Motion, & Balance
- Locomotion
- Temperature
- Sound and Light
- Electricity
- Atomic
- Chemistry
- Life
- Earth, Weather and Astronomy
- Communications
- and more!
Learn everything from how to cast animal tracks, to how to make a solar oven or a foxhole radio. It’s all here. The instructions are simple and easy to follow.
As with all science activities read through the list of “ingredients” and be sure you have what you need before convincing your child to try an experiment. Nothing dampens the scientific creative spirit more than not having the necessary materials to experiment in one’s kitchen laboratory.
Enjoy!
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
