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.
“Little Miss Muffet Sat on her Tuffet Eating her Curds and Whey” But what are curds? This experiment turns milk into a solid which sets hard when left to dry. How to make Curds and Whey for Little Miss Muffet Skimmed milk White vinegar Microwave-proof bowl or a pan and hob Strainer/sieve Instructions Remember…
Today’s experiment is very simple but hopefully fascinating for even very young children. We’re going to investigate which solids dissolve in water. When a substance dissolves in water, you can’t see it anymore; it’s still there but has mixed with the water to make a transparent liquid called a solution. We call substances that dissolve in water soluble. Sugar…
Have you ever wondered why if you rub a balloon on your hair it makes your hair stand up on end? It’s all to do with something called static electricity. It’s also static electricity that sometimes gives you a shock when you touch something metal. The conductive metal discharges any static electricity that has built…
Respiration is a fundamental biological process. It is the process by which energy is made so that all the chemical reactions can occur in your body. Respiration is the reaction between glucose (from food) and oxygen in the air you breathe to produce carbon dioxide and water (waste products) and the all-important ENERGY! We can…
As it’s nearly Bonfire night in the UK we thought was should do a firework experiment. A firework in a jar is totally safe, very easy and looks just like a firework without the bang and sparkle. These also make a great science activity for New Year. What you need to make a firework in…
Today’s experiment is taken from a rather brilliant book from QED Publishing. Cracking Chemistry is part of the ‘Science Crackers’ range. It is beautifully laid out with striking photos and pictures to really catch a child’s attention and interest. My 4-year-old was fascinated. The book explains all about the world of atoms and materials. Each…
It’s Autumn here in the UK and the leaves are beginning to fall and go crisp under your feet. The trees are a variety of colours and there are seeds galore. It is the perfect time to get out and about and collect things like acorns, conkers, leaves, twigs, and feathers. Which is exactly what…
Did you know the inside of your nose is filled with goblet cells which create mucus, and very tiny hairs called cilia? The bigger hairs help stop unwanted particles from getting into your nose. Everything you smell gives off molecules which are very light and float in the air. When these get into your nose,…
This experiment looks at how egg white ( albumen ) is transformed as it is whisked. Egg white is about 2/3 of the total weight of an egg and is 10% protein, the rest being mostly water. To demonstrate the change in the egg white, we will find out how to make meringue! How to make…
Zoob Junior is a versatile modelling system which has brightly coloured plastic pieces that snap, click and pop together in many different ways. Modelled on the nucleotides that make up DNA, the movement of the Zoob mirrors the natural mobility of people, animals and machines. We were sent the 30-piece set to review, this comes…
