About Our Site
ScienceProjectIdeas was formed to offer a unique reference point on great ideas and advice for science projects.
ScienceProjectIdeas is the ideal place for parents, teachers and carers wanting to explore science with children. It is a regularly reviewed and updated collection of articles full of ideas for science projects in biology, chemistry, physics, maths, and environment & meteorology.
The articles include background information on the subject, suggestions for simple hands on experiments with easily available ingredients, and clear explanations on the science that is going on.
The biology section includes things to grow, things to watch, even things to eat (some with names on too). Find out how plants eat, what mites look like, and whether beans know which way is up.
In chemistry, there are also things to eat, and things to make, like putty and slime, as well as crystals to grow, (very messy) fountains to create and colours and chemicals to explore.
Physics scares off people, but this site has fun experiments for even the most physics-phobic, from disappearing glass bowls, through expanding air and sinking water, to flying balloons and attracting magnets. Nothing to eat though - sorry.
Maths is another subject that people get worried about, but it is really just playing with numbers. Try reading people's minds, getting knotted with topology, proving that one equals two and two equals three, and multiplying on your fingers. See. Not that hard after all.
And finally, environment & meteorology. In this section, learn how to make a rainbow, or create a tornado in a bottle and El Nino on the kitchen table. By the end of it, you will be cooking with the sun and making a wind vane.
Our concern was that there was no single UK resource for interesting features and practical advice on this subject.
Our features and articles are written by experts - who have experience, or a particular interest in this area.
Our Background
ScienceProjectIdeas was founded by John Rowlinson, the founder of PtS.John, through PtS, is involved in a number of ventures including software and property companies. A percentage of revenue from these activities goes towards funding ScienceProjectIdeas and a number of similar sites.
Our focus is simply on having experts create the highest quality information possible that is widely read.
Re: Looking at Soil Profiles
Thanks so much for this post .it really helped me .made my homework much easier and l have learnt a lot from this post
Re: Pulling and Pushing: Magnetic Attraction
Kya kisi chemical ko copper me mix karne se iron or steel ko push kiya ja sakte hai. Yadi ho to formula batye.
Re: Soap and Detergent Chemistry
Thanks you so much because you help different students especially science who went be a perfect a part of chemistry
Re: Soap and Detergent Chemistry
Thanks you so much because you help d/f students especially science who went be a perfect a part of chemistry like me.
Re: Pulling and Pushing: Magnetic Attraction
Sir, I found that in magnet the needle attract one side and repulsive other side pls give me the answer
Re: Growing Plants in Different Soils
this has been very helpful for my science experiment thank you
Re: A Bending Bone
The bones soaked in water won't change - it's the acid that affects the bones. And eating acid foods doesn't change the pH of the body so won't…
Re: Melting Points for Different Solids
Could you please practically research whether candle wax can melt at room temperature under reduced pressure?
Re: A Bending Bone
vinegar has acid so if we eat something that contains acid which is bad for bones so what will happen if we eat something that contains Acid!?
Re: Melting Points for Different Solids
Pls can you do more melting points!!!!!!!!!
