    Easy Ideas for Science at Home

    Modified: Jun 10, 2024 · Published: Dec 28, 2020 by Emma Vanstone · This post may contain affiliate links · 2 Comments

    If you’re searching for child-friendly science experiments, look no further! Most of the science experiments on Science Sparks are perfect for science at home. I try to use materials that are either easy to find or that you probably already have around the house. All my science investigations and activities are simple, easy to explain, and just great science for kids of all ages.

    We’ve got fairy tale science experiments, explosive science experiments, space experiments and lots more super science for kids. I’d love you to take a look around and let me know what you think. If you share photos of your science at home on social media, we’d love to see them.
