Kids' Science Projects

Here are a few suggestions on how to construct kids' science projects.

Ideas for Science Projects

  • Paper Towel Experiment [3]
    Which paper towel are more absorbent?
  • Mold Bread Experiment [4]
    Does Mold grow quicker at higher temperatures?
  • The Pendulum Experiment [5]
    What goes up must come down!
  • Popcorn Experiments [6]
    Experiments with popcorn are a fun way to test a scientific theory with the added bonus of having some tasty food to eat afterwards.
  • Paper Airplane Experiment [7]
    This experiment, as well as being great fun, is a chance for us to study something called ‘The Laws of Aerodynamics.’
  • Charge a Light Bulb Experiment [8]
    Charge a light bulb with the use of comb with the Charge a Light Bulb Experiment. In this experiment, we will charge a light bulb just with the use of a comb and no other means of electricity.
  • The Lifting Ice Cube Experiment [9]
    The Lifting Ice Cube experiment is a trick that will let you lift ice cubes without getting your hands wet or making use of a spoon!
  • The Magic Egg Experiment [10]
    Did you know that you could make an egg bounce? Try the Magic Egg experiment and see how it works.
  • The Magic Jumping Coin Experiment [11]
    If you want to learn a magic trick on thermal expansion, try the Magic Jumping Coin Experiment!
  • The Salt Water Egg Experiment [12]
    The Salt Water Egg Experiment explains why materials (such as an egg) float more in salt water than in fresh water.
  • The Invisible Ink Experiment [13]
    Have you ever tried making invisible ink? The Invisible Ink experiment shows you how to do it.
  • The "Making a Rainbow"-Experiment [14]
    With this Making a Rainbow experiment, you’ll be able to understand how rainbows are formed because you are going to make one yourself.
  • The Oil Spill Experiment [15]
    This Oil Spill experiment will help you understand the detrimental effects of oil spills to the marine ecosystem.
  • The Balloon Rocket Car Experiment [16]
    Creating your own Balloon Rocket Car has got to be one of the most exciting experiments that you can do at home, with your friends and family.
  • How to Build an Electromagnet [17]
    An electromagnet is a type of magnet that attracts metals with the help of electricity.
  • The Corrosiveness of Soda Experiment [18]
    In this experiment, we will be investigating the corrosiveness of soda. If you are one of those people who can’t last a day without drinking soda, read on.
  • How to Create a Heat Detector [19]
    In this experiment, you will learn how to create your very own heat detector. By creating a heat detector, we will demonstrate the effect of heat to different kinds of materials.
  • The "Volcano Experiment" [20]
    In the Volcano Experiment, you will learn how different substances react when they are mixed with each other.
  • The Egg in a Bottle Experiment [21]
    This experiment illustrates the effects of air pressure.
  • The Fruit Battery Experiment [22]
    Ever heard of a fruit battery? In this simple experiment, we will be creating our own battery with the use of citrus fruits, with a power that is strong enough to make a small bulb light up.
  • The Home-made Glue Experiment [23]
    Have you ever tried creating home-made glue? By performing this experiment, you will learn different ways on how you can create glue and what materials can be used to create one!
  • Home-made Stethoscope [24]
    A stethoscope is a medical instrument used for listening to the sounds of the body. Usually it is used to listen to the sounds made by the heart, breathing, among others.
  • The Magic Balloon Experiment [25]
    Have you ever heard of magic balloons? In this experiment, you will witness a balloon inflating without you blowing it up!
  • How to Make a Matchbox Guitar [26]
    If you are into music then you will definitely love this matchbox guitar project! A guitar is a string musical instrument that you pluck in order to create a sound.
  • Make Your Own Slime - Experiment [27]
    Have you ever played with slime? Do you even know what that gooey brightly coloured material is actually made of?

Some Famous Ancient Experiments are Easy Replicate!

  • Heron's Aeolipile Experiment [28]
    A steam engine that worked on exactly the same principle as the great machines of the industrial revolution and many modern electricity-generating turbines.
  • Archimedes Screw Experiment [29]
    A device still used around the world as a simple and efficient method of moving liquids and solid particles.
  • Build an Astrolabe [30] - Navigation and Mapping the Stars
    The astrolabe is an instrument that allows observers to measure the position of celestial bodies relative to the horizon, which allows accurate star mapping.
  • Archimedes Displacement Experiment [31]
    Repeat the experiment that made a naked man run down the street shouting ‘Eureka! Eureka!’
  • Make Heron’s Fountain [32]
    How potential energy can provide power, using water and gravity, and air and compression
  • Sundials [33]
    An Ancient Estimate the Time of the Day

Conducting an Experiment

Conducting science experiments [34] isn't as hard as you think, the problem is often to come up with the idea [35] for the project.

After you've conducted the experiment, you've still got to write a paper [36] about the experiment afterward.
