Magnets are always fun when used in science experiments and demonstrations. They are fairly inexpensive to buy and can be ...

Enzymes are biological catalysts. In simple terms, they speed up chemical reactions. Living organisms have chemical reactions ...

Physics is key to understanding the world around us. While some aspects may seem tricky to understand, many fundamental physics concepts can be broken down into simple concepts, some of which can be ...

Lots of people have been asking me for school science club ideas recently, so I've put together a collection of science experiments and activities that I think would work really well for ...

Igneous Rocks are formed underground where temperatures are hot enough to melt rock into liquid ( molten rock ). Igneous rocks do not contain fossils as these would have melted when the original rock ...

Magic opening flowers are a brilliant, super simple science investigation using just paper and water. The folded paper flowers open up as the paper absorbs the water. They are a great way to learn ...

This mini wave machine is a great way to demonstrate the concept of a wave! It's easy to make, looks great and can be used over and over again! If you enjoy this activity, don't forget to take a look ...

Here at Science Sparks, we've tried a lot of science experiments over the years; some have been brilliant on the first go, some have taken a LOT of tweaking, and some have been a complete disaster!

An unbreakable egg sounds impossible. We think of eggs as fragile ( how many times have you opened a box of eggs to find one broken ), so how do you make an unbreakable egg? How to make an egg ...

Today is day 2 of our week of icy experiments. You can see yesterday's fun with freezing here. When we left the house yesterday to go to school, Z and S were fascinated by the frost on the car and ...

This simple science project shows you how to make a model of an eclipse to visually demonstrate what's happening between the Sun, Earth and Moon during a solar or lunar eclipse. A solar eclipse model ...
