If you're looking for a spring science project, the Great Spring Seed Race could be just the thing! It's not a fast race, so ...

Submerging a dandelion in water always looks impressive, as the delicate puffball (seed head) appears wet in the water but is ...

Have you ever wondered how plants know when it's time to grow? It's all down to something called photoperiodism. Plants have ...

This germination science investigation is very simple but fascinating. Did you know you can grow a bean in a jar with just a little water? Once the seed has germinated, you can place it in soil for ...

This homemade articulated grabber is a brilliant STEM Challenge or STEM project, that works brilliantly and is easy to construct as well! We cut up a shoe box to make ours as the cardboard does need ...

Wind turbines use energy from wind to generate electricity. Each turbine has a generator inside. When the blades rotate they turn the generator which produces electricity. This is a form of non ...

The Beaufort Scale was named after Sir Francis Beaufort ( a hydrographer with the Royal Navy ) and lists the effects of increasing wind speeds. The scale was initially designed to show the effects of ...

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 ...

Electricity and circuits are great fun for children ( and teachers and parents ) to learn about. This collection of electricity science projects and experiments are all easy to try and very satisfying ...

Today's experiment is very simple but hopefully fascinating for even very young children. We're going to investigate which solids dissolve in water. When a substance dissolves in water, you can't see ...

The 2026 Winter Olympics start tomorrow, bringing athletes from around the world together to compete for a coveted gold medal! Here at Science Sparks, we're looking forward to watching gravity-defying ...
