The days leading up to Easter are a great time to try lots of fun science activities with eggs and chocolate. Dropped egg experiments are even more fun with a chocolate egg, and egg chain reactions are my new favorite way to keep the kids busy.
I've made a checklist of our favorites Easter science activities for kids This way you can check them off as you complete them! Who doesn't love a good checklist?
If you try any activities or complete the checklist, I'd love to see them, so don't forget to tag @sciencesparks on social media!

The best thing about this is that you can do it in many different ways. Make a parachute to slow the fallbuild a container to protect the egg or mix it up and create something soft for the egg to fall on instead of wrapping it in a material.
Remember to boil the egg first so you can eat it later!
Egg zipline
Mini ziplines They are so much fun and can be adapted to all kinds of themes. We have made them for Tinker Bell and Peter Pan, and also for carrying eggs!
Egg chain reaction
These chain reactions are so cool and allow for a lot of creativity! What better way to transport an egg to a friend than with a exciting chain reaction?
We used a balloon car to knock over dominoes, which pushed an egg down a half pipe into a boat in a tray of water!
Eggshell Bridge
You probably think of eggshells as weak and brittle, but under the right circumstances, they are actually very strong! Eggshell Bridge It is a great way to demonstrate why domes are a strong shape and are often used in bridge design and construction.

Rolling Eggs

Did you know you can? Remove the shell of an egg with vinegarOnce the shell is removed, the egg is soft and can be carefully bounced on a surface.
Egg towers
Who can do the The tallest toothpick tower What holds a chocolate egg together? Toothpicks and clay make great towers, or toothpicks and jelly beans.
Little Bins for Little Hands has some Brilliant towers of jelly beans also.
Is it boiled?
Do you know how to tell the difference between a boiled egg and an uncooked egg?
All you have to do is watch them spin. Hard-boiled eggs spin easily and quickly. Uncooked eggs spin more slowly and erratically due to the liquid moving around inside them.
A hard-boiled egg will also spin on its end.
