Learn how energy is transfered from one object to another in this newton's cradle experiment which will amaze kids of all ages!

Hands on physics activities that explore Newton's Laws of Motion. An inquiry based lesson plan to facilitate deeper learning and retention.

The best way to learn about science is by performing your own experiments. These static electricity activities are fun to incorporate into homeschool or do as an after school activity. Science is everywhere! You don’t need a lab to teach your kids about static electricity. Separate salt and pepper, bend water, move bubbles and more!

Here at Science Sparks, we love anything space related, especially rockets! This baking soda rocket is one of our favourites, as it's super easy to set up

Use this easy forces science lesson plan and see how to make a spinning top experiment to see the effect of forces, gravity, and friction.

Investigate the concepts of force and motion with fun and engaging hands-on STEAM activities for kids. Opportunities for hands-on experimenting with various materials allows children to learn and extend their knowledge of Scientific concepts by integrating with other subjects. STEAM is the traditional STEM + Art. These STEAM activities are great extensions to further understand […]

This experiment utilizes potential and kinetic energy to blast our plastic cup rocket off. By pressing down on the rocket, we are building potential energy that is converted into kinetic energy when we let go and let our rocket fly. "GO" for launch in 3, 2, 1... BLAST OFF!

This simple bernoulli experiment will allow kids of all ages to understand how faster air meas less pressure and allows an object to fly.With just a piece of paper and straw children can make a ping pong ball float to understand about air pressure for kids. Try this Bernoulli principle experiment with preschool, pre-k, kindergarten, first grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade, 4th grade, 5th grade, and 6th graders too. Try this fun physics experiment in just 5-10 minutes for an easy science…

I love it when a cool summer experiment is so easy it only takes a couple minutes! This balloon rocket experiment is such a fun balloon activity for kids that teaches some simply physics while having fun. All you need for this balloon straw rocket are a few simple materials and you are ready to start learning, exploring, and having fun with balloon science! This balloon experiment is fun for preschool, pre-k, kindergarten, first grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade, and 4th graders too.
