Fun Experiments for Students To Try During Holidays? 

1. Invisible-Ink Experiment: This experiment is super fun and is easy to execute for middle school students. Take lemon juice and squeeze a little on a plate or a bowl. Use a cotton swab and soak it in lemon juice. Use this to write your secret code on a plain paper. Let it dry for some time and after it’s completely dried, put the paper in front of a light bulb or dry it with a hairdryer. Heat the paper until your secret message starts appearing on the paper. 

2. Balloon Volleyball: This is a fun game and can be played by anyone. Make two teams, take one balloon and tie its tip with a string. Now each one has to bounce the balloon up and down and if it touches the surface, the team is out. 

3. Goofy Robots: Kids and students can have fun while making and playing this game with parents and family members. Take one cardboard box and cut its eyes and nose. Now add some extra details by covering your hands with aluminium foil, or use mufflers to cover up your neck. Put the cut cardboard box on your head and tada, you’re done. 

Try this experiment with your friends and family and enjoy the holidays.
