The kitchen is a great place to do science experiments. You can actually turn your kitchen into a laboratory without too much difficulty. Most of the ingredients are already there, you just need to know how to use them. And of course have an adult around for safety purposes.

Here is a simple Kitchen experiment that can be great fun to do. You will need a balloon, a small pint sized bottle, a packet of active dry yeast,  a cup of warm water and two or three spoons of sugar. Take the balloon and blow it up a few times. Make sure that it does not have any small holes from where the air may leak out.

Now in the cup of warm water add the packet of yeast and the spoons of sugar. Stir till they both dissolve in the water. Now pour this water into the bottle. You will notice that  the carbon di oxide bubbles start forming in the water as soon as the yeast and sugar begin reacting.

To the mouth of the bottle now attach the balloon. Keep it away for a while. After some time you will see that the balloon has begun to inflate thanks to the air being generated. Try out more fun science projects here.
