Science Experiments in a Jar!
5-Lesson Course: Practice the scientific method as we complete experiments that can all fit in a jar. (Ages 5-10)
Course Summary
How It Works:
You’ll get step-by-step video instructions every lesson—pause, rewind, try again if things go sideways. You'll also get a Scientist Journal—make hypotheses, record observations, pretend you’re a real lab-coat-wearing scientist. Want a break from actually doing the experiments? No problem—you can just watch and observe. We’ll wrap up with a fun quiz to test how well your brain exploded (in a good way).
What You’ll Do (aka “Cool Stuff You’ll Try”):
Lesson 1: Dancing Raisins – Ever seen raisins boogie? Learn about buoyancy and density as raisins dance up and down your jar like they're at a disco. Lesson 2: Snow Storm – Create a snow storm inside the jar… without a blizzard outside. Chemistry makes it magical.
Lesson 3: Ocean Layers – Stack liquids like an ocean in a jar: discover the color, density, and who sinks, who floats, and who makes you say “ooh!”
Lesson 4: Salt Volcano / Jar Lava Lamp – Mix, shake, sprinkle, watch things erupt (but not dangerously). It’s part volcano, part rave party.
Lesson 5: Bonus Water Cycle!
Who This Is For?
Ages 5–10, picky about messes (we try to contain them), curious about how things work. Parents who want something educational and entertaining. Anyone who’s ever wondered, “Can I make a volcano in a jar?” Spoiler: yes, yes you can.
Why It’s Awesome!
You’ll get to feel smart. You’ll have fun. You might inspire your pet (or a sibling) to become your assistant. You’ll forever think twice about raisins and salt and what floats vs. what sinks.

Grab your jars, your curiosity, and your sense of humor—because science is about to get messy (in the best way).

Elizabeth McMann
As a homeschooling mother of five, I felt led by the Lord to create an online educational platform. My style of learning didn't fit into the mold of what was out there. Not to mention, the rising prices of other educational platforms limited what classes my children could enjoy. Sifting through online classes and full curriculum that aligns with Christian values is tricky. Today, it seems most Christian curriculum is boring bookwork and/or very costly. I sought to combine everything that I value in education. Teach Me Truth provides entertaining video lessons, live online classes, online games, quizzes, worksheets, and community - all designed by independent teachers within our nonprofit platform.
