Fun Halloween Science Experiments with Ryan! DIY Science…

Content Breakdown · 4 Categories

Strong & Crude LanguageA little

Mild exclamatory language ('oh my God') appears repeatedly in excited reactions to experiments, but no profanity, slurs, or crude language is present.

“'oh my God look at that'”

“'oh my God it's going to the pumpkin'”

Bullying, Cruelty & DiscriminationNot present

A character named Bradley is mentioned as pulling pranks that disrupt a scientific study, but this is framed as light, playful mischief rather than genuine cruelty or bullying.

“'Bradley your pranks are going to ruin my scientific study'”

Hidden Advertising & Sponsored ContentNot present

A passing mention that hydrogen peroxide 'can be found at the beauty store' is informational rather than promotional, and no undisclosed sponsorships or product pitches are present.

“'you can find hydrogen peroxide at the beauty store'”

Playful & Fantasy ViolenceNot present

A toy spider ('Mr spider') is mentioned in the context of a prank, which is entirely playful and consequence-free with no fantasy combat or stylized violence present.

What Parents Need to Know

This video is a long compilation of Halloween-themed content from Ryan's World, featuring multiple segments: DIY science experiments (dry ice bubbles, baking soda and vinegar reactions, elephant toothpaste), a pumpkin preservation experiment, a myth-busting segment about swallowing spiders in sleep, a goosebumps science explainer, and a bouncy-house elasticity adventure. The science is genuinely educational — kids learn about carbon dioxide, chemical reactions, mold, dehydration, adrenaline, and elasticity in fun, accessible ways. Safety is modeled well throughout: Ryan repeatedly reminds kids to ask a grown-up for help, wear gloves when handling hydrogen peroxide, and use tongs for dry ice. The elephant toothpaste segment mentions hydrogen peroxide can be found at a beauty store, which parents should note as it could prompt unsupervised curiosity. The video is long and compilation-style, so younger kids may lose focus. There is mild Halloween spookiness (fake spiders, a haunted house, a vampire character) but nothing frightening. Overall, this is high-quality, educational content with strong safety messaging.

Talk to Your Kids About

1What happened when baking soda and vinegar were mixed together, and why do you think that reaction happened?
2Ryan always asked a grown-up for help before doing the experiments — why do you think that's important, and which experiment looked the most dangerous to try alone?
3The pumpkin experiment showed that hairspray worked best to preserve the jack-o'-lantern. Did that surprise you? What did you think would work best?
4We learned that the spider-swallowing myth is totally false — what's another myth or scary story you've heard that you wonder might not be true?

Frequently Asked Questions

What age is this video appropriate for?

This video is suitable for children aged 5 and up. The Halloween theme, simple science concepts, and playful storytelling are well-matched to early elementary-aged kids, though younger children with a parent present would also enjoy the colorful experiments.

Are the science experiments in this video safe for kids to try at home?

Most experiments, like baking soda and vinegar reactions, are very safe with adult supervision. The dry ice and elephant toothpaste segments involve materials (dry ice, hydrogen peroxide) that require adult handling — and the video does remind kids to ask a grown-up for help, which is good modeling. Parents should supervise closely if children want to replicate any of these at home.

Is there anything scary or inappropriate in this Halloween video?

The spooky elements are very mild and clearly playful — fake spiders, a friendly vampire character, a pretend haunted house, and jump-scare pranks between family members. There is no real violence, frightening imagery, or inappropriate content. Sensitive younger children might find the jump-scare moments briefly startling, but they are immediately resolved with laughter.

Does this video contain any advertising or product promotion?

The video is part of the Ryan's World brand, which is itself a commercial enterprise, but this specific compilation does not contain obvious sponsored segments or product advertisements within the content. Parents who are generally cautious about branded YouTube channels for kids should be aware of the broader Ryan's World ecosystem.

Is the science in this video accurate and educational?

Yes, the science concepts covered — chemical reactions, carbon dioxide gas, mold and dehydration, adrenaline and goosebumps, and elasticity — are all explained accurately and in age-appropriate terms. The pumpkin preservation experiment even uses a proper control group, which is great scientific modeling for young viewers.

How long is this video and will young kids stay engaged the whole time?

This appears to be a long compilation video featuring multiple distinct segments, likely running 30–60 minutes in total. Younger children may naturally disengage between segments, which is perfectly fine — each segment works as a standalone mini-episode, so parents can pause and resume without losing the thread.
