DIY Science Experiments

Participating in science, especially when you can observe it happening, greatly increases interest. Young learners are invited to do engaging, easy DIY science activities at home or in the classroom, as described on this page. These experiments are intended to encourage inquiry, support creative thinking, and allow kids to learn science by doing.

Each experiment is explained with simple directions, a short list of easily found materials, and a detailed description of the relevant scientific reasoning. You will find learning enjoyable no matter if you are building a volcano, creating a rainbow inside a jar, or using a balloon to investigate static electricity. Young scientists and interested students will benefit from these activities, as they usually require little more than basic supervision.

Our intention is for science to be both fun and educational. As well as being pleasant, these activities also promote a better understanding of how systems operate, cooperative work, and practical problem-solving development. Children will take delight in forming expectations, following their results, and asking curious 'why' questions, acting as real scientists do!

If you click an experiment title, you will receive full instructions, learn about the science behind it, and be able to begin your own experimentation right away. Transform either your home or classroom into an active setting for scientific discovery.
