Last summer, we held our very own garden science camp. It was brilliant fun, and we all learned a lot! It was a great way to spend time together away from screens and just generally work as a team to solve problems. If your children love science, I’d definitely recommend trying a DIY science camp…
Today I have lots of ideas for preschool science experiments to share. Science isn’t just complex experiments for older children. Science is all around us and can be enjoyed and explored by children of all ages. Even just simply encouraging children to touch objects with different textures or observe the world around them is introducing…
Now that Christmas is over, it’s time to embrace winter and all the exciting science activity opportunities the cold weather opens up. I’ve assembled an exciting collection of winter science experiments and STEM challenges perfect for cheering up a dreary January. Don’t forget I’ve also got 100s more easy science experiments to do at home…
I couldn’t resist making an autumn-themed fine motor skill rice tray after we collected a bag of lovely autumn treasures on a walk over the weekend. What you need for a fall rice tray Rice Food Colouring Ziploc bags Autumn items – conkers, acorns, pinecones etc Tweezers Muffin Tray – optional How to dye rice Place…
Ice experiments are always fun, easy to set up, and often mess-free! These investigations are great for cooling down in summer, and if it’s cold enough in winter, you could try leaving water in a mould or tray outside overnight to see if it freezes without a freezer. Don’t forget I have lots of FREE…
I’ve found my 5 year old to be incredibly curious at the moment, always asking questions and wanting to know how things work. Even something as simple as a rain gauge has been VERY exciting for her. With that in mind I’ve pulled together a list of great science experiments for kids of all ages!…
Many years ago, we went through a stage of painting on sheets of ice and then pressing paper on the top. Once the paper dried, we used it as a fun background to draw on. Painting on ice is a wonderfully creative activity for younger children, as they can feel the change in the ice…
Many people ask me about parties and the best experiments to entertain children at a science party. Science Sparks is full of fun, safe and hands-on science investigations that would all make great party activities, but here are some I think would work brilliantly for a children’s science party at home. Science activities are great…
When you think of great science experiments for kids one of the first that springs to mind is probably a baking soda volcano and vinegar volcano. I remember making one with my little brother in the kitchen when he was about 4 or 5. Baking soda volcanoes and coke floats were our favourite summer activities….
Ice excavations are great fun for children of all ages. Younger children can pour warm water over the top or use a pipette and watch the ice melt, while older children can use syringes to measure how much water is needed to melt the ice or just use the scale to practice number recognition. It’s…
