These science experiments you can do with a bottle are great for home or school, can be used over and over again and even recycled afterwards! Make rockets, lava lamps and even a drinks dispenser that actually works! Have a rocket race, find out who can make the longest bubbly snake and discover how much…
Today’s post is part of my United States of Science series. The idea is you print a map of the USA and colour each state as you learn about it with a fun science activity. In this activity, you find out why the Statue of Liberty is green! New York New York City in the…
Long, sunny summer days are a great time to experiment with shadows. I’ve put together a fun list of shadow activity ideas with ( hopefully ) something to appeal to kids of all ages. I use chalk pens for drawing shadows as they are a bit less messy than normal chalk and last a long…
Welcome back to my Around the World in 50 Experiments series. Today we’re off to Azerbaijan to learn about mud volcanoes! Azerbaijan sits on the banks of the Caspian Sea in Asia. It’s bordered by Russia, Georgia, Armenia and Iran and is home to around 10 million people. What is a mud volcano? Azerbaijan has…
We’ve been busy making borax free slime today and thought it would be fun to try three different slime recipes then create a fun science investigation to see which slime was the best! No Borax Slime Recipes Cornflour Slime Simply add a little water to cornflour and you get a slippy slime that can be…
What is a pendulum? A pendulum is an object hanging from a fixed point that swings backwards and forwards when pulled back and released. Imagine sitting on a swing in a park. If someone pulled the swing back and let go the swing would move backwards and forwards and eventually stop without another force to…
This easy science activity demonstrates the difference in density between hot and cold water. It can be a bit messy so I would either do it outside or put the jars in a tray. The demonstration works as cold water is more dense than hot water so the hot water sits on top of the…
Bubble snakes are super easy to make, don’t need many materials and are great fun for kids of all ages. Younger children will enjoy blowing lots of bubbles easily, while older children can design their own unique bubble makers and even create an investigation using them. This is a brilliant summer science investigation for home…
An easy way to make salt crystals is to dissolve table salt in water and leave the solution somewhere warm until the water evaporates, leaving behind sparkly salt crystals. We also made coloured salt by adding a little food colouring. This activity and more salt science experiments can be found in a salt science activity…
If you decided to visit Antarctica, you’d struggle to survive without specialist clothing and equipment. However, penguins manage to live there perfectly well as they have adapted to survive in their harsh environment. Animals and plants have special adaptations to allow them to thrive in their natural environment. Animals need food, water, shelter and a…
