Every time we go for a walk at the moment, my children look for dandelions with a full seed head to pick and then blow so they can watch all the tiny parachutes float away in the wind. We started talking about why they fly so well and their purpose. This is also a fun…
‘Thank crunchie, it’s Friday’ seems the perfect phrase for today’s experiment as it involves learning how to make honeycomb with our easy honeycomb recipe. Once you’ve made the honeycomb and learned about the science behind the bubbles, the rest is up to you. Add melted chocolate, sprinkles, popping candy or anything else to make it…

Curdling is a process by which a liquid is transformed into a soft semi-solid or solid mass. We can see this happen in a straightforward experiment! Milk is made up of proteins, fats, sugar and water. The protein molecules ( mostly casein ) are suspended in the liquid, where they move freely. Milk is a…

It is so annoying when getting to the end of a ketchup bottle, and you have to keep banging to get that last bit out. Why is this? Because ketchup is thick and does not flow as easily as other fluids. We call this resistance to flowing viscosity. The rate at which different fluids flow…
My 5-year-old is very interested in space, especially the planets and how they move around the sun. He has been asking me lots of questions about why we have night and day and why we sometimes only see part of the moon which I have been finding hard to explain in simple enough terms for…
The hyperlauncher rocket ball factory is a funky science kit all about the laws of motion. The kit comes with everything you need to make multiple balls in 4 different sizes. The balls are easy and fun to make, although younger children would need supervision as they are a bit fiddly. Making the balls involved…
Here at Science Sparks, we love to learn about the weather. This weather station from KidzLabs is a great easy way to learn about weather and the greenhouse effect. All you need to add to the kit is a plastic bottle and, optionally a small plant. The kit is very easy to build and attaches…
Haba toys have some wonderful toys and equipment available for inquisitive young minds. For those of that read my personal blog, you will know that Noah (my eldest) is a little pirate crazy.
