This post is part of my Around the World in 50 Experiments series so don’t forget to check out the rest! Where…
Did you know you can make a compass using a magnet, a slice of cork, a bowl of water and a needle? This mini science project is a great way to learn about magnetism and Earth’s magnetic field. What is magnetism? Magnetism is an invisible force that affects certain materials. You don’t need an especially…
A pneumatic system uses pressurised air to transmit energy. For this chick and egg craft I used two syringes. The system starts with the syringe inside the box in the closed position ( syringe fully down ) and with the syringe outside the box in the open position ( syringe fully open ). When the…
We’ve dissected flowers many times before, but this was our first attempt at a 3D flower model. A model is a great hands-on way to learn about the structure and function of plant organs and the importance of pollination. I’ve also made some FREE flower structure revision cards you might like. 3D Flowering Plant Model…
We’ve done this light refraction experiment many times before, but this time it’s Alice in Wonderland themed. A reversing arrows science investigation is very easy and can be made as simple or creative as you wish. If you don’t want to theme it like I have below, just draw arrows on a small piece of…
I’ve got another easy EGG themed STEM Challenge for you today! It’s a bit of a twist on the traditional egg drop experiment. The challenge is to build a car using K’Nex or another construction toy to save an egg passenger. This is a brilliant egg experiment, that’s great for any time of year, but especially Easter!…
This fun tooth decay experiment with egg shells is all about teeth and how to keep them healthy. First, we discussed the importance of brushing teeth every day, and then we chatted about foods that are good for your teeth and those that aren’t. Sugary, sticky foods are not good for teeth as they stick…
Have you ever wanted to create your very own rock lab? These rock investigations include five easy tests to help children group and identify rocks based on their appearance and properties. It’s a brilliant first introduction to rocks for kids, with lots of fun rock activities for kids of all ages. There’s also a free downloadable…
As we head into a cold January, I thought it might be fun to try some fun winter science experiments for kids. These are great for kids of all ages, although some need adult supervision and guidance. If winter isn’t quite what you’re looking for, I’ve got 100s more creative science experiments for kids to…
Have you ever wondered why penguins don’t freeze to death? Penguins have to cope with an immensely harsh environment with extremely cold temperatures and added wind chill. Animals that live in cold regions tend to have several adaptations that help them stay warm. Penguins living in cold climates stay warm thanks to their thick feathers…
