Here at Science Sparks we love science experiments and STEM Challenges that use recycled materials. A Pringles can is a great versatile item that can be used for lots of different science activities and projects. We've made torches, art bots, drums and even motorised cars all using a Pringles can as the main part.
Can you think of any more ideas for us? Which is your favourite Pringles can science project?

We really love this Pringles ring challenge from Sunflowers to STEM.
This bird feeder from Grace and Good Eats is brilliant and so easy.
Use a mini Pringles can to make an Art Bot.
Make a Pringles can wind sock like Happy Hooligans.

A Pringles can is the perfect size and shape for making a torch. We used a full size can as normal torch and a mini can as a head torch!
You could also use a Pringles tube as a homemade speaker.
