Most of our experiments only require very simple materials and ingredients that you most likely already have around the house. What are you waiting for? Choose an activity, create a cool science project, try a STEM challenge and then show your friends and family what you’ve learned. We’ve also got a few science tricks that are sure to impress an audience!

Still not sure where to start? Try our list of everything you need for science at home and start with something simple. Try making a bubbly lava lamp or a craft stick catapult and go from there.

For children who aren’t especially interested in science, give one of our book themed science experiments a go. These are also great for younger children, as we find adding a bit of context to an activity really helps keep kids engaged.

Don’t forget we’ve also got lots of holiday themed science activities as well as an extensive list of STEM Challenges and Science Project ideas.

The most important thing to remember is that science should be fun!
