This Independence Day, you can celebrate by transforming your kitchen into a mini science laboratory! You’re never too young or too old to start experimenting with science. Dr. Stephanie Ryan is on a one-woman mission to make teaching kids science at home fun for both the parent and the child.

Dr. Stephanie joins us today, and she’ll explain both the “Fireworks in a Glass” and “4th of July Lava Lamp” experiments.

Dr. Stephanie will complete more experiments in a Facebook Live event with Kung Fu Momma on June 28! You can also find Stephanie on Instagram and Tik Tok @letslearnaboutscience.
