Fun Food Experiments for Kids

Today is the last day of school for my kids, and for about the last month I’ve been poking around online trying to find some fun things for them/us to do over the next three months.
I found the video above and immediately bookmarked it to share here. Using things you’ve already got in your kitchen — food coloring, milk and dish soap — you can create a really cool little “color dance.” Here’s another fun example. I feel cheated — my experience with this only involved pepper and water!
I found several other videos demonstrating fun things to do with food, including one of my favorites: cornstarch goo (oh my goodness, that kid’s a doll!). There’s also a dancing egg using a shot glass and an egg, you can make instant ice, and for older kids, try a lemon battery.
What are your favorite food science experiments?
