I would like to do some basic science experiences to help kids get more interested in science. If there any good youtube or websites to help me with ideas?

I'm a physics teacher. You can DM me if you want ideas. There are there a few ideas that are easy to make :

Elephants toothpaste (hydrogen peroxide + yeast)
Bubbling witch liquid (vinegar + bicarbonate)
the flaming hand (gas for lighters + soap)
a simple acidic/basic reaction (red cabbage + vinegar + bicarbonate)
turn off a candle without blowing it (vinegar + bicarbonate)
make a water powered rocket (plastic bottle + bike pump)

Those are all very simple and inexpensive. Exception made for the flaming hand which can be dangerous.
