    December 28, 2020 By Emma Vanstone 2 Comments

    If you’re searching for child friendly science experiments, look no further! 90% 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 you already have around the house. All my science investigations and activities are super 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.
