Science Sparks is full of easy and fun science experiments for kids to do at home. Our fun science investigations include engineering, coding, biology, chemistry and physics experiments.
Learn more about the wonderful world of science by trying our exciting science experiments, cool facts, free printables, photos and videos. We’ve also got a great collection of STEM projects, STEM Challenges and science fair projects.
Our science experiments include removing the shell from an egg, launching bottle rockets, create edible life cycles, making lava lamps and lots more science experiments for kids of all ages.
We’ve been making lots of fun Minion crafts today. What do you think of our lava lamp and rocket? These are easy to make and add a fun twist to the traditional lava lamp and film canister rocket. My artistic skills are not the best, so I’m sure you can do a much better job!…
These mini science challenge bags are a great party favour, class reward, homework challenge or something to keep children busy if they finish their school work early. They can be filled with an almost endless variety of inexpensive materials and used over and over again. I’ve put together a few ideas to start with and…
Here at Science Sparks we know how hard it can be to keep kids happy and engaged over the holidays, so we’re thrilled to be helping EdPlace with their FREE Â 6 – week online Summer Camp this year. The Summer Camp is an online activity package full of fun ideas to keep kids busy and…
I set my children a challenge yesterday to make a superhero figure float as a fun superhero science experiment. The activity itself was easy to set up, almost mess free and kept my three busy for at least an hour as they experimented with different ways to make their figures float. Superhero Science Experiment –…
Coming soon! The idea behind this activity is to test different materials to investigate which makes the strongest wand. You could try sticks, straws, pipecleaners etc and then devise a test for your investigation. Should the wand stand straight, should it bend when waved etc?
Full details coming soon, but the idea behind this activity is to design and create a chair for Goldlilocks. First decide how much weight you would like the chair to hold, maybe a bag of sugar? Then think about what to use to make the chair? How about rolled up paper? Can you improve your…
I’m very excited to be involved with The Great Science Share next week. With 90 excited children, 10 activities, and British weather to contend with, what can go wrong? The activities have been carefully thought out so they are fun, interactive and allow the children to put their investigative skills to the test. I’ve attached instruction…
This investigation to find out how exercise affects heart rate is a great way to introduce correct scientific procedures and think about variables that can change and those that need to remain constant. Exercise increases the rate at which energy is needed from food, increasing the body’s need for both nutrients and oxygen. This is why…
Discover how force affects the motion of a projectile and how changing the launch angle affects the distance travelled with this easy catapult investigation based on the Cow Jumped Over the Moon nursery rhyme. You can see how to build a simple lolly stick catapult in this video. I’ve designed this activity to appeal to…
We recently had a great holiday in Rhodes with Mark Warner, the children not only had an amazing time, but also learned a huge amount from the experience. I’ve put together a quick list of  holiday learning ideas, but please do comment if you have more. Science on the beach Can you work out which…
