This simple apple ramp STEM challenge is a brilliant, hands-on way to learn about the effect of gradient on speed and ...

Have you ever wondered how fireworks fly? The science behind the flight of a firework is the same as that of a rocket, and a ...

This spooky science trick uses a magnet and a paper clip to make paper ghosts seem to fly through the air. It's a fantastic ...

I'm excited to share a fantastic guest post from the online learning platform Brighterly today. For many kids, math can feel ...

The rocket travels upward with a force equal to and opposite to the downward force propelling the water, gas, and lid (Newton's Third Law). The amount of force is directly proportional to the amount ...

This lovely, colourful science experiment is super easy to set up and carry out, but looks amazing! As well as being fun to watch, it's also great for learning about density ( the oil layer floats on ...

Collect as many leaves that are different in shape as possible and identify them with a book or tree identification app. Make a face, object or something else recognisable from a selection of leaves, ...

We're celebrating the beginning of autumn with some lovely apple experiments today! Turn apples into boats, experiment with different ways to preserve them, find out why food goes bad and make your ...

Autumn brings lots of inspiration for indoor and outdoor science experiments and activities. Leaves start to change colour and fall, conkers, helicopters, and other seeds drop to the floor, and the ...

All you need for today's easy science experiment is tape, paper and some books. This is a super simple STEM challenge for kids of all ages. We're going to test the strength of paper folded into ...

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 ...

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!
