My 5 year old is very interested in space, especially the planets and how they move around the sun. He has been asking me lots of questions about why we have night and day and why we sometimes only see part of the moon which I have been finding hard to explain in simple enough terms for him to understand.

This Space Exploration experiment kit from the Science Shop is perfect for us! It answers all of his questions and more!

We love a science experiment that appears like a magic trick and this one is perfect for that.

Imagine saying to people, ‘I can make hot ice!’

They wouldn’t believe you would they? As far a science theory goes, they shouldn’t, we know that in order for ice to exist it has to be at 0 degrees and that once heated it would melt.

However we can fool them into thinking we have made hot ice with this trick.

First you have to set up the solution.
