I am excited to announce that TheDadLab has co-designed an amazing science box! It consists instructions as well as all supplies needed to make colourful science experiments. Alex had a chance to do the first experiment from the box and he loved it.

We are back home and we are going back to experiments. A raw egg sinks in water, but can we increase water's density to make it float? Alex adds salt to see what would happen. Then I carefully add fresh water on top of salted one (not to mix layers) and ask Alex a tricky question: Float or Sink?

A quite dramatic colour change made this chemistry experiment really mesmerizing for Alex. After blending a few red cabbage leaves I poured purple cabbage juice into glasses. I added a little too many leaves, so I had to add more water to glasses for clearer colours. Then Alex started adding lemo...

We are taking a concept behind a syringe and upscaling it with this easy-to-make toy using a glove
