Walking Water
Colourful water goes for a stroll up out of one glass and into another in this incredible experiment!
Can coloured water really step out of a glass and into another? What forces could be at work in this experiment that let water defy gravity and common sense?
Anti-Gravity Water
Make water defy gravity by staying in an upturned glass... Is it magic? It looks it!
Is it possible to make water "float" inside an upturned glass without pouring out? With science know-how it is!
Bottle Diver
Make a homemade diving toy dive and resurface just by the squeeze of a plastic bottle!
Bobbing along, bobbing along at the bottom of the beautiful briny... Bottle? In this experiment we learn about bouyancy and pressure with a Cartesian diver!
Hair-Raising Electric Balloon
Make a balloon electrically-sticky using nothing but your hair!
Electricity is everywhere - in this experiment we give a balloon a static charge and attract objects with it!
Floating Compass
Make your own compass in minutes and always know which way is North!
Did you know that planet Earth has a magnetic field? Did you know that you can turn needles into magnets? With this know-how we'll make our own floating compass!
Simple Barometer
Predict the weather without even stepping outside!
Did you know you can tell what the weather will be without checking the forecast? In this experiment we make our own indoor weather-predicting device!
Dancing Fruit
Ever seen fruit having a bit of a boogie? Grab some raisins and pop and watch it bop!
Who thought fruit and fizz could be so entertaining? This simple experiment is more exciting than it looks!
Magnet Pickup Challenge
A timed game that's fun and easy to play!
There are many fun things you can do with magnets. In this fun game we try to move as many metal items into a goal before time runs out!
