Experiments and demos

Experiments

anemometer

Why not try one of our 30+ experiments? We have experiments from home made anemometers to making clouds in bottles. They are fun and easy to do and each experiment has a downloadable sheet. Most of the items needed are household objects, or are very cheaply bought.
