Crick Kids explores science activities for young people

It’s built for 7–11 year olds and created by the Francis Crick Institute. 

On these pages, we’ve designed experiments, creative activities and games to spark excitement about science. 

Make science fun with these easy science activities

These science activities are designed to be done at home or at school. They use materials that are easily found around the house or at your local shops.

How to do science experiments at home with kids

Many of these activities can be done without adult supervision, but some need an adult on hand. Look for the guidance at the top of each activity to check if adult supervision is required.  

If you’re doing these activities together with a child, one way to encourage children to think scientifically is by asking them questions.

What do you think will happen?

After the activity, you can talk about what happened and ask them if they are surprised by the outcome of the activity.

You can also do the activity again but change one element. This could be increasing an amount used of a material or substituting in another material. 

What might happen if we do it again and change one thing?

By encouraging curiosity and creativity, each activity helps children develop wonder in our world and allows them to think like a scientist.
