Fun and easy science experiments for kids and adults.

Physics experiments

Here are all the experiments in physics. Physics is the science of matter, energy and forces. Physics includes things like electricity, magnetism, energy tranformations, heat and motion.

Floating ping pong ball

Float a ball above your science hairdryer. About Bernoulli's principle.

Special: Fire bubbles

Hold fire in your hand. An experiment about energy, heat and much more.

Air cannon

The world's cheapest Airzooka. An experiment about shooting air.

Water implosion

An empty bottle instantly fills with water. About pressure and states of water.

Warm and cold plates

How can ice melt faster on a cold plate than on a warm one? About heat.

Inexhaustible bottle

The bottle that never runs out of water. About air pressure and gravity.

Heavy smoke

Create heavy, cold, smoke. About why some things float and others sink.

Brownian motion

Pour food coloring in hot and cold water. About temperature and particles.

Flying static ring

Float a plastic ring above your science balloon! About static electricity.

Special: Burning money

An experiment about energy, heat, chemical reactions and water.

Special: Burning towel

More like non-burning towel. About energy, heat, chemical reactions and water.

Water sucking bottle

Cool the air in a bottle and suck water. About pressure and temperature.

Water sucking glass

Cool the air in a glass and suck water. About pressure and temperature.

Imploding soda can

Crush a can with air pressure. About pressure, temperature and states of matter.

Rolling static soda can

Charge your science balloon and play. An experiment about static electricity.
