Popular Science Projects

These classic science experiments for kids are memorable and engaging DIY activities for curious learners of all ages. When paired with additional scientific research, they also make for great science fair project ideas for elementary, middle school, and/or high school students.  Many of these experiments and projects use high-quality chemicals and supplies, sometimes along with household ingredients (e.g., baking soda, olive oil, food coloring, water), to create all sorts of neat projects and chemical reactions!

For younger students, choose an easy science project, such as making your own homemade slime or a lava lamp. For more advanced students, expand upon these projects to begin explaining how slime is a polymer, and that the carbon dioxide bubbles in the lava lamp rise and fall because of density.

Explore our wide selection of projects and science experiments for kids of all ages and instill a lifelong love of learning that, when properly encouraged, will not just translate to the classroom but also beyond! These projects are designed to be easy to complete, to inspire curiosity, and to help hone critical thinking and observation skills.
