Science Projects for All Ages
🧪 Materials: Clear glass or plastic cup Water Shaving cream Blue food coloring Dropper or spoon 👩🔬 Instructions: Fill the cup ¾ full with water. Spray a “cloud” of shaving cream on top. Drop blue food coloring on top using a spoon or dropper. 👀 What to Look For: The food coloring will slowly “rain” …
🧪 Materials: 1 raw egg 1 glass or jar Vinegar 👩🔬 Instructions: Place the egg in the jar and cover it with vinegar. Let it sit for 2 days. (Watch bubbles form!) Carefully remove the egg and rinse it with water. 👀 What to Look For: The eggshell will dissolve, and the egg will become …
🧪 Materials: 6 clear cups or jars Paper towels (cut into strips) Water Red, yellow, and blue food coloring 👩🔬 Instructions: Line up the 6 cups in a circle or straight line. Fill every other cup with water (cup 1, 3, and 5). Add a few drops of red to cup 1, yellow to cup …
Homemade Rainbow Objective: Understand how light bends and splits into colors (refraction). Materials: A glass of water A flashlight or smartphone flashlight A small mirror A white piece of paper Steps: Set Up the Glass: Fill the glass with water. Place the small mirror inside the glass at an angle. Create Light: Shine the flashlight …
Dancing Raisins Science Project Objective Observe how gas bubbles can make raisins “dance” by demonstrating the principles of buoyancy and density. Materials Needed A clear glass or jar Soda water (carbonated water) or a combination of vinegar and baking soda A handful of raisins (fresh raisins work best) Spoon (if using vinegar and baking soda) …
Melting Race science experiment: Objective Explore how different materials affect the melting speed of ice, and learn about heat transfer and insulation. Materials Needed Ice cubes (same size and shape, preferably from the same tray) Flat surfaces made of: Metal (e.g., a baking sheet or aluminum foil) Plastic (e.g., a plastic cutting board) Cloth (e.g., …

The Corona This is the sun’s outermost atmospheric layer. The corona is so hot that scientists do not have any scientific explanation for it. It transforms into the solar wind when it reaches 13 million kilometers from the surface of the sun. This strong plasma gust floats off the sun’s surface and through our solar …
According to studies, the sun can go through a quiet period and then transition to one that has solar fireworks. This often happens every 11 years. Scientists have a clear view of the sun’s activities because it is the closest star to the Earth. That is why they can observe the solar cycle well. …
Food can spoil right away if the environment is favorable for bacterial growth. If you want to teach kids about how bacteria grow and the importance of refrigeration, this is the science project to for you. What you need: Balloons 2 to 3 glass soda bottles Yeast How to do it: Get the glass soda …
Yes, plants have DNA, too. Extracting it from a strawberry is a great way to appreciate the structure and appearance of DNA strands. This is a good way to recognize the genetic foundation of every organism. What you need: Skewer (sharpened pencil, toothpick, or fork) 2 teaspoons of water Paper towel (other options are wire …
