Every living thing behaves differently from other living creatures. To understand the creatures around us we need to study how they behave. This experiment will help you learn about woodlice habits and preferences.
In this experiment you will perform a rapid DNA extraction from different types of fruit.
In this experiment you will be using vegetables to make a liquid which you can use to measure how acidic something is, that is what level of pH it has.
This experiment is simple and fun and shows a couple of basic principles of physics – that of immiscible liquids and that of convection – how hot and cold liquids behave together.
Rockets are one of the strongest forces of lift made by man. These experiments are fun but also messy and are therefore best done outside.
Aerofoils are structures that push upwards or press downwards by changing the speed of the air passing around them. In this experiment you can put different things to the test to see which of them make the best aerofoils.
In this experiment you will be making homemade detection tools to help pick up finger prints and even to detect blood stains. This will allow you to act as junior CSI agents and find out who has been where.
Aerofoils are structures that push upwards or press downwards by changing the speed of the air passing around them. In this experiment you can put different things to the test to see which of them make the best aerofoils.
There are chemicals which are neither a solid, nor a liquid, but a solid and a liquid at the same time! In this experiment you will create one, using only two ingredients from the kitchen.
Reflex actions are called the actions when a muscle automatically moves without the brain needing to think about it. The aim of this experiment is to discover who has the faster reflexes.
Robots don’t necessarily have to resemble people. This experiment shows you how to use your hand as a model to make a robot hand.
Try and make your own microscope and try it out as a mobile one which can be taken with you anywhere and which you can make again and again.
Every day, and everywhere we look, we see things that turn or revolve. All these things have one thing in common, they have an electric motor. This experiment shows you how you can build a simple electric motor.
By reusing and recycling materials we use in great quantities everyday we are helping conserve the world's resources. In this experiment you can learn how to make your own recycled paper.
The sun provides us with great power which we can harness to provide us with electricity. In this experiment you can learn how to use photovoltaic cells to convert solar energy into electricity in order to move a model car.
In this experiment you will see the effect introducing the microorganism yeast has on pizza dough.
Greenhouse-gases are making our planet warmer than it used to be and causing many environmental problems. This experiment recreates what happens when a greenhouse gas gets trapped in a bag.
This experiment will allow you to model the effect of lava flows using a safe chemical reaction and some simple materials. This is quite a messy experiment so maybe it is best to do the actual final steps outdoors or in the bathroom in the bath/shower.
This experiment replicates the oldest method available for making ice cream. All methods depend on the fact that salt lowers the freezing point of ice.
The aim of these experiments is to use parabolic reflectors to concentrate sound coming from a particular direction. The principle is exactly the same one as satellite dishes which you can see on many roof tops.
This experiment is meant to show us the normal variation which exists in us and in almost all living things. This normal or Gaussian distribution is a very important feature of science which can be shown with almost any different group of people/plants etc.
We all know that too much sun can be dangerous for us because of the damage UV rays, invisible to our eyes, do to our skin. This experiment will show you just how effective UV protection can be in blocking UV rays.
Many living things are sources of miniature electric currents. This experiment will allow us to derive small electric currents from our human body using the different conductivity of metals.
In this experiment you will see how simple monomers like water, borax and glue can together create an altogether new substance with a different use!.
Although we never think about it, we are all constantly exposed to atmospheric pressure pushing down on us. This experiment will demonstrate the strength of atmospheric pressure.
Lasers and fibre-optics are often used to cause beautiful decorative effects but are also important in many fields of science, including medicine and communications. In this experiment you will make a simple fibre-optic device capable of bending light.
