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.
I’m very excited to be sharing a brand new feature with you today. Inspiration Laboratories and I would like to invite you to share some science with us. We’re going to set a new challenge each week and would love to see your creations on Facebook, G+, Twitter or Instagram using #ShareScience. We’ll share as many…
The Mix and Measure set from Learning Resources might just be my favourite product we’ve tested so far, and we’ve been lucky enough to test quite a few. Aimed at children 4+ it’s full of fun, hands on activity ideas to help children learn about measurements and equivalency. The scale, bowl, measuring cups and tools are brightly…
My children always love a good baking soda activity! Even my 7-year-old still gets excited at the prospect of some fizzy fun. This simple activity took literally minutes to prepare, and all you need is baking soda, vinegar and food colouring. Our Halloween fizzy bug rocks are a slight variation on more traditional fizzy rocks,…
Do you know why we have bones? We have some fun activity ideas to share today to help you find out! Fun facts about bones A human has 206 bones! There are 26 bones in the human foot. The femur is the longest bone in the human skeleton. When babies are born, they have about…
We were very excited to be invited for a sneaky peak at Professor Blasts’s Learning Lab at Paultons Park. I’ve been lucky enough to tag along on a few school trips with my own children and have seen the kind of places that work well and those that don’t and I’m certain that the combination…
The science experiments my children talk about for months afterwards are generally the messy ones, like our splatter patterns, glow in the dark oobleck, baking soda experiments and the well known coke and mento experiment. If you try this classic chemistry experiment definitely do it outside as it’s VERY messy and sticky. Sometimes you’ll see it called…
I’ve often wished we had a big LEGO® vacuum cleaner that sucked up and sorted LEGO®. Our collection is mixed up in a large box under my 7 year old bed. So today, we set about making a LEGO® filter. This is our first attempt and needs a little refining. First, we looked around the…
My girls have grown up in a house full of LEGO, Brio, K’nex thanks to an older brother and a LEGO loving Mother, so I’ve never been in a situation where they haven’t wanted to play with construction toys. They pretty much build with anything they can get their hands on. However, I know lots of their…
Printing patterns with LEGO® is a simple STEM activity for young children. The bricks are a great shape for making robots or building shapes, and DUPLO® bricks are easy for little hands to hold. We did our LEGO® printing outside to contain the mess. You can print with LEGO people, normal bricks or DUPLO bricks…
A balloon-powered car is a great way to learn about kinetic energy, potential energy, conservation of energy and Newton’s Laws of Motion. When you blow up a balloon, it stores potential energy in the form of the stretched skin of the balloon and compressed air inside the balloon. When you let go of the balloon,…
