Simple Science Experiments with Heart Themes

Simple Science Experiments with Heart Themes post image

We love science, and are always trying to find cool ideas for science experiments for kids. With Valentine’s Day coming up, I found 9 heart-themed simple science experiments for kids. They are all easy experiments, but kids will have fun and learn science research skills at the same time.

Science Experiments with Hearts for Kids

Heart science experiments for kids to learn heart anatomy, physiology, function. Great STEM activities for Valentine's Day at school, at home, for homeschool.

The simplest science about the heart is to measure the heart rate of different conditions. How is it different between after running and sitting?

While talking about heart rate, you can also talk about the heart and the circular system – in a kid-friendly way of course.

You can even make a heart pump while listening to the song about blood flow.

Do you want to know how blood flow in the heart? This heart model made from drinking water bottles is a great way to help kids understand the structure of the heart, the 4 chambers, and the valves to set the blood flow direction.

I love this simple Stethoscope, it is so easy to make. Kids can listen to others’ hearts beat. Besides talking about heart and heart rate, it is also a good way to learn to count and introduce concepts like rate, and speed.

Kids will never get tired of bubbling or sizzling experiments, this vinegar frozen heart will for sure delight kids of all ages. After the excitement, don’t forget to explain the science of the fun.

Dancing heart is so fun to watch. Do you know why the hearts are dancing?

I like the setup of this heart candy dissolve experiment, kids learn scientific comparison and observation, plus data recording.
