5 Simple Science Experiments for Kids That Are Fun and Educational

Science doesn’t have to stay in textbooks it can come alive at your kitchen table or classroom with just a few supplies, a curious mind, and an easy science project that sparks creativity. These simple science experiments are perfect for turning everyday moments into learning opportunities. This blog brings you five easy and exciting science experiments that let kids explore anatomy, physics, and the environment through hands-on crafts. Each project blends creativity with learning to make science both fun and unforgettable.

1. Make Anatomy Fun with Human Skeleton Craft

Turn anatomy into a hands-on adventure! This fun skeleton craft helps children explore the human body while boosting creativity and fine motor skills, ideal for a memorable science session.

Materials Required:

  • Scissors

  • Marker

  • Pencil

  • Fine Art Brush

  • Colourful Sheets

  • Corrugated Sheet

  • Twines

  • A3 Size Flat Skeleton Printout

  • OHP Sheet

  • Tracing Sheet

  • Quilling Strips

  • Rangeela Tempera Colours

  • Fevicol MR
     

Steps to Create:
Begin by tracing the body outline onto black paper and cutting it out. Stick this cut-out onto a corrugated sheet using Fevicol MR for a sturdy base. Using Rangeela Moulding Dough, shape bones and attach them to the outline with Fevicol A+, reinforcing the structure with a final layer of Fevicol MR. Label each part by writing on small quilling strip tags. Attach twines to the skeleton parts and stick the labels beside them. This craft becomes a life-size labelled guide to the human skeleton!

Creative Tip: Mount the completed skeleton on the wall as a visual aid during science revision, it’s educational décor and a great, simple science experiment for classroom displays. This craft also makes a fantastic easy science project for primary or middle school students learning about the body.

2. Enjoy Science with Fevicreate's Soil Profile Project

Dig into science with this colourful soil profile project! Perfect for young learners, this craft visually demonstrates soil layers while encouraging eco-awareness and creativity.

Materials Required:

  • Fevicol MR

  • Rangeela Moulding Dough

  • Pencil

  • Scale

  • Scissors

  • Colourful Chart Papers

  • Empty Tissue Roll Tube

  • Jute Cord
     

Steps to Create:
Start with a tissue roll tube and colourful chart papers. Cut and crumple four strips to represent different soil layers, sticking them around the tube with Fevicol MR. Add texture by forming small balls from grey and black paper, and attach green leaves and a brown base for the tree. Create a jute trunk and a leafy crown from green chart paper. Assemble and insert the tree into the top of the tube to complete your layered soil diorama.

Creative Tip: For a hands-on twist, label each soil layer using small flags or add miniature earthworms made from clay! If you're looking for a new science project that teaches environmental concepts in a fun way, this one's perfect for home or school.

3. Teach About Human Brain with Clay Craft

Unlock the mysteries of the mind with this clay brain model! This detailed activity introduces children to brain structure through a tactile, memorable craft experience an ideal easy science project for neuroscience.

Materials Required:

  • Fevicol A+

  • Rangeela Moulding Dough

  • White Pencil

  • Scissors

  • Mount Board
     

Steps to Create:

Draw a brain outline on a black mount board using a white pencil. Craft each part of the brain with Rangeela Moulding Dough, shaping lobes and regions with care. Create small labels using quilling strips and attach them to the respective brain sections with Fevicol A+. Finish with a coating of Fevicol A+ for a matte look or Fevicol MR for a glossy finish. The result is a colourful, labelled brain model ready for display or school presentations.

Creative Tip: Use different coloured dough for each brain region to help distinguish their unique functions more clearly. It's a fun way to personalise your new science project for class presentations.

Help young minds explore neuroscience through this brilliant Teach About Human Brain with Clay Craft activity that combines science and sculpture.

4. Fun Body Parts Project for Kids

Make learning body parts a joyful experience with this colourful craft! As one of the best simple science experiments, this activity is great for preschoolers learning to recognise and name basic body parts.

Materials Required:

  • Rangeela Tempera Colours

  • Pencil

  • Felt Pen

  • Template of Body Parts
     

Steps to Create:
Begin by printing out the body parts template. Help your child cut out the parts using safety scissors. Use Rangeela Tempera Colours to paint each one in bright, cheerful shades. Once dry, outline them neatly with a felt pen for definition. Label each part clearly to build vocabulary. The finished pieces can be used as a chart or puzzle to reinforce learning in a fun way.

Creative Tip: Stick Velcro dots behind each part and turn it into a matching game on a felt board!

Turn science time into playtime with this interactive Fun Body Parts Project for Kids that’s ideal for preschool learning.

5. Design a Friction Project for School Fun

Slide into science with this friction experiment! Children will love discovering how different surfaces affect motion in this hands-on, best-out-of-waste activity.

Materials Required:

  • Fevicol MR

  • Fevicryl Acrylic Colours

  • Sketch Pens

  • Pencil

  • Scale

  • Cutter

  • Scissors

  • Cardboard Sheet

  • Strips of Different Materials – Sand Paper, Oil Paper, Velvet Cloth, Satin, Wool

  • Corrugated Strip

  • Wooden Blocks / Toy Car / Ping Pong Balls

  • Ice Cream Sticks

  • Fine Art Brushes
     

Steps to Create:
Divide a corrugated cardboard sheet into four columns and label the top as ‘START’. Stick various fabric strips into each column using Fevicol A+. Paint the rest of the sheet using Fevicryl Acrylic Colours. Decorate and attach rounded ice cream sticks as dividers between tracks. Build a sloped ramp from a corrugated carton and paint it. Place toy cars, balls, or blocks on the track to test how they move over each surface. Kids will observe the effect of friction in real time!

Creative Tip: Encourage kids to predict which surface will create the most resistance before testing it’s a mini science quiz in action and a brilliant new science project for hands-on physics learning.
