AWESOME SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS TO DO WITH MERMAIDS (YES, MERMAIDS!)

Save this idea for later!

237shares

I am a mother of two girls. That means we have a lot of glitter, a lot of pink, and they are both obsessed with unicorns and mermaids.

Recently, we completed a series of unicorn STEM activities, but as the weather has gotten warmer, the kids are more interested in mermaids right now.

They also both really like science experiments for kids. So, I’m sure you know where this is going.

We’ve been doing a lot of awesome science experiments with mermaids. It’s so much fun adapting our favorite STEM activities and science experiments into mermaid themes!

It takes a little creativity, but these cool science experiments are a whole lot of fun!

Mermaids are the ultimate summer mythical creature. But did you know you can learn with them too? These awesome science experiments all feature mermaids, and you'll be surprised at how many cool science experiments you can do while using mermaids. Summer science has never been so fun! #scienceexperiments #scienceforkids #science #summeractivities #summerlearning

Don’t miss out on the rest of our summer science experiments and summer STEM activities!

 

AWESOME SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS TO DO WITH MERMAIDS

I bet you didn’t know you could combine science and mermaids so easily! We’ve found that these science experiments with mermaids are totally awesome, and some of the most awesome science experiments we have ever done!

If you have any mermaid lovers at home or in your classroom, try these super fun mermaid science activities!

WHY ON EARTH SHOULD I USE MERMAIDS FOR SCIENCE?

Mermaids are just about the farthest thing from science, so, you might wonder how we decided to combine the two. I’ve found over the years that when you use subjects that kids care about, they are more likely to pay attention to the less “fun” parts of the lesson.

So, when kids love mermaids, and you use those mermaids to teach scientific concepts, the concepts will stick. You can even take mermaid science a lot further than we have, by exploring the (theoretical) science of mermaids themselves. How would they breathe?

How would they talk under water? How are they able to breathe water and air? Or are they?

Is a mermaid design scientifically plausible?

Want a fun new twist on summer science? Why not try these awesome science experiments featuring mermaids! Science is so much fun when you can use mermaids to learn. #scienceexperiments #scienceforkids #science #summeractivities #summerlearning

WHAT CAN KIDS LEARN WITH MERMAID SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS?

Kids can learn just about any scientific concept with these cool science experiments. 

In our list of mermaid science experiments, kids will learn about states of matter, polymers, chemical reactions, oceans, ocean creatures, currents, how temperature affects movement, how fish rise and sink, how to remove salt from water, and more!

THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD FOR KIDS

A complete list of awesome science experiments featuring mermaids. Make science fun for kids with these cool science experiments for kids! Summer science is the best science, especially when mermaids are involved! #scienceexperiments #scienceforkids #science #summeractivities #summerlearning

When doing a science experiment, you need to include all elements of the scientific method, which are:

  • Ask a question
  • Research the question
  • Hypothesize an answer
  • Test the hypothesis
  • Analyze the results
  • Change the variables and test again
  • Record the data
