Science kits for kids are great for school and home projects. The kits are generally safe. However, there's always a chance something could go wrong. Just because the kits are for kids doesn't mean they're infallible. Adult supervision is always a good idea when a child is performing a science experiment. Here are some tips to help keep you and your child safe.

1. Follow all directions as instructed. Most mishaps are avoidable by simply following the directions. Lots of people think it is fine to skip steps, make up new steps or only half-follow the instructions. That's a bad way to approach a science project. Following the directions is important because it prevents serious mishaps. Don't think you know better than the project's creators. Follow the directions as they are written.

2. Get the proper supplies. Some kits come with all the supplies you need. Others require you to gather extra supplies. If that's the case, get exactly what you need. Don't make substitutions just because it might be easier. It's important to use exactly what the kit says you should. Substitutions could cause adverse reactions and ruin the project.

3. Get an age appropriate kit. Most science kits are rated according to age. There should be a recommended age notice on the box. For example, it might say something like "recommended for ages 8 and up". Or maybe there will be a specific grade level. If that's the case, you might see a notice that says "recommended for grades 6 and up". Pick a kit that's appropriate for your child's age and grade. You wouldn't buy a 10th grade level kit for a 5th grade student.

4. Provide supervision. A child should never perform a science experiment alone. Even if it's an easy experiment, something could still go wrong. Adult supervision is recommended at all times during the experimentation stage.

Stay Safe

Following the tips in this article will help you and your child stay safe. Using sc ience kits for kids is supposed to be fun. Remove the risk factor and everyone will enjoy the process.

Question by Anonymous M: What are some fun solute and solvent experiments for a science project? I have a science final coming up and we can make a Bill Nye video for our project. Our first topic was taken so we then decided to do solute and solvents. Right now I am in science class typing this and we cant think of any fun experiments, please help. Thank you and all help is appreciated. Best answer for What are some fun solute and solvent experiments for a science project?:

Answer by #1 kanjoos
show how non polar things only dissolve non polar things try dissolving salt in oil and it won't dissolve. Or salt in gasoline (won't dissolve either) show not being able to dissolve lipstick in water but you can in gasoline since both are non polar. Show the molecular structures and show how the polar things which are oddly shaped dissolve in water. But the things that are evenly shaped all around like the hydrocarbons only dissolve in non polar solvents. Also show how soap has a polar end and the rest non polar. So it is able to put 1 end in something polar and the other end in something non polar. So it can dissolve oil in water using that.
