We’ve been very busy over the last few weeks testing lots of fun Christmas Science Experiments. You might spot some old favourites, but we’ve got lots of new ideas as well, including a collection of Elf STEM Challenges, which have entertained us for hours! Remember to check out our FREE Christmas Science Ebook, which contains 12 printable…
Now summer seems to finally be here, we thought we’d get the sand table out and start playing. We tried to make sandcastles with the dry sand, which didn’t work at all. They just collapsed. Can you think why this is? What could you add to make the sand more ‘sticky’? We added a little…
Today we are looking at filtering and how it can be used to clean dirty water. This water filter science project is very simplified but gives kids a great overview of how water purification is carried out to give us lovely clean drinking water. Do not drink the water in the activity Water Filter Science…
I’ve lost count of the number of water science experiments we’ve done over the years. Water is pretty amazing. Did you know it is the only natural substance to exist in three physical states at temperatures naturally occurring on Earth? Facts about Water Water has lots of properties that make it just brilliant for simple…
Today I have lots of ideas for preschool science experiments to share. Science isn’t just complex experiments for older children. Science is all around us and can be enjoyed and explored by children of all ages. Even just simply encouraging children to touch objects with different textures or observe the world around them is introducing…
The recent mini heatwave in the UK meant we needed some serious help cooling down, so we had another go at making homemade slushy drinks! To make a slushy drink, you need to partially freeze a delicious fruity liquid. This can be fruit juice, smoothie, flavoured milk or anything else you enjoy the taste of….
Right at the beginning of summer we designed and then constructed a cardboard kitchen. First we thought about the features we needed to include by looking at our own kitchen and considering what we thought were the most important features. An area for the hob Tall enough to stand at comfortably An area to rest…
I’m very happy to welcome back Maggy from Red Ted Art today with a guest post about the Science of Music. I love Maggy’s blog because she makes everything so pretty, whereas I only manage functional items. Maggy has made “shooters” and explained roundabouts in previous posts, but today, it’s all about making music! You could…
We recently tried exploring the viscosity of fluids using water, oil, golden syrup and honey. The main problem we had was that for some of the liquids, the marble dropped too fast for us to record the time. With this in mind, we decided to try the same experiment with different strength jellies. I made…
Autumn is such a great time of year. I love the colourful leaves underfoot and the first hint of winter. To celebrate the changing seasons, I’ve pulled together a wonderful collection of Fall Science Experiments suitable for kids of all ages. Fall Science Experiments for Kids First up is this lovely fall sensory rice tray….
