    Easy at Home Science Projects for Kids

    May 9, 2020 By Emma Vanstone Leave a Comment

    Here at Science Sparks we know how tricky it can be having the kids at home all day especially if you’re trying to work or have children of different ages to look after. This collection of at home science projects might just help you through! I’ve chosen science projects that don’t use too many materials, are inexpensive and shouldn’t need too much help from an adult.

    I’ve also got a big list of materials and equipment it’s handy to have for science at home, but don’t worry if you don’t have anything special as there’s plenty of science you can do with things you already have.

    At home space projects for kids

    Find out how craters form with this easy investigation using flour, hot chocolate powder and marbles.

    Learn about gravity with this easy egg drop experiment, this can be linked nicely to thinking about how astronauts have to slow down their spacecraft as they return to earth!

    Learn about forces with this squeezy bottle rocket!

    Our moon phase cupcakes are a great way to learn about the phases of the moon and tasty too!

    This beautiful printable constellation craft science project is fantastic from Red Ted Art.

    Creative Science Projects

    These recycled marble runs are great fun and can be added to and changed in lots of different ways. Make a fast marble run or find a way to make the marble run more slowly.

    If you’ve got the materials these scribble or art-bots keep my children busy for days.
