Hands-On STEM: 10 Science Experiments Kids Can Do at Home

Science starts with questions

Great science for kids begins with “I wonder what happens if…”. Printable observation sheets help children predict, test and record, just like real scientists.

Easy experiments with kitchen supplies

Baking soda volcano: explore chemical reactions.

Rainbow celery: watch water travel up plant stems.

Sink or float: predict, test and sort household objects.

Homemade rock collection: classify rocks by color, texture and weight.

Shadow tracking: trace a shadow every hour to learn how the sun moves.

Record, then reflect

After each experiment, ask your child to draw what happened and write one sentence about why. This simple habit builds both science thinking and writing skills.
