Here you will find science resources, activities, and experiments to keep your scientific minds busy while you continue to learn from home.
New at-home experiments will be added every Wednesday!
If you want to share with me how an experiment went, or have an idea about what I should do next, email me at ahall@sd61learn.ca

Learn how crystals are formed and how to grow three different types of crystals at home! You probably already have everything you need in your kitchen.
Chemical reactions take a substance and turn it into something new! Learn more by making some elephant toothpaste, a fun and foamy chemical reaction!
Let's have some fun with physics and build a mini catapult! You probably already have the supplies to make it lying around your house.
This mini hovercraft is powered by air and Newton's Third Law of Motion!
Everybody loves a baking soda and vinegar explosion! Here are three more experiments to try out this classic reaction.
I didn't make this video, but I wanted to share it since it looks like a fun and easy project! Make a car powered by an elastic band in this awesome STEM activity.
Purple cabbage can do more than make coleslaw! Watch this video to learn how you can turn a purple cabbage into an indicator to test acids and bases in your own home.
Learn about the respiratory system by making this lung in a bottle. You can make the lung inflate and deflate by moving the diaphragm.
Oobleck is a fun and goopy fluid to play with that can behave like a liquid or a solid. All you need to make it is cornstarch and water!
Learn about polymers with fun to play with, easy to make, slime! All you need to get started is glue, borax, and water.
