What are some chemistry experiments that are safe for kids?
In high school chemistry classes, there are labs that are performed working with various chemicals and compounds. These are well monitored by a qualified instructor. What can kids do at home that are interested in chemistry, but is safe enough for them to do without any supervision?

Hi there Horton.
Yes, letting kids do chemistry experiments is a good idea. This will both spark their interest in this scientific field and their curiosity towards learning the concepts behind the results.
Considering your concern, there are a number of chemistry experiments that are safe for kids to do at home even when unsupervised. These experiments will help them wonder about this field while teaching them the practical application of the subject in their own household. Some of these experiments are somehow presented as magic tricks while others are mainly fun. There are also those that are somewhat playful at nature indeed suitable for kids.
The internet is a good source of chemistry experiments that are safe for children to do at home. Here are some links where you can get the experiments you want using only common objects found at home.
