Science With Water Balloons – Hands-on Learning For Curious Kids

Science with water balloons is a fantastic hands-on learning activity for curious kids. Learn about liquid density then SPLAT!This is my first article as the science contributor over at 123 Homeschool 4 Me and I’m so excited to finally share it with you all. My kids LOVED this activity and kept asking to do it again and again. It’s a wonderful hands-on science experiment, but also incorporates fine motor strengthening and coordination, and sensory play. You must check out this fun and beautiful activity!

The most exciting part for me was when my son later asked if we could use this concept to test another scientific concept. It lead to some amazing inquiry based learning.

With this activity we are teaching the scientific process and encouraging kids to use inquiry based activities to prove theories.Looking for more water inspired learning? Check out this list of over 25 amazing STEM Water Projects
