This is where I am keeping all my Physics experiments and projects aimed more at preteens and teenagers. If you're looking for some practical science that is a little more challenging have a look. I also have a Chemistry and Biology page full of harder science experiments coming soon too!
Insulation
Insulation
Insulation - The Hot Chocolate experiment - possible the most fun and yummiest experiment EVER!

WEATHER EXPERIMENTS
Cloud in a bottle - learn how clouds are made by making one of your own!
Potential ENERGY!
Lolly pop Chain reaction! One of the most FUN experiments on here! This is a step by step tutorial on how to make the cobra weave with all the scientific explanation to answer those questions your young person has to ask!
Watch the video to see how cool this project really is!
Spool cars - Make your own spool car...
VACUUMS
Rising water experiment - More on vacuums!
ROCKET SCIENCE
Rocket science - Make your own rocket!
Diet coke and Mentos explosion! - possibly the most fun explosive action you can get at home!
Architecture and the science behind it...
Geotechnical engineering - learning about foundations of buildings...
I have put this one about geodesic domes on my easy and hard experiments page, it is simply because if done independently there is more to be learnt but this is really more for older children about 9 years plus as it is fiddly.
Skyscrapers! - The science of skyscrapers
How to squeeze a hardboiled egg into a bottle
Self crushing can experiment
Vacuum in a glass
How to turn a glass of water upside down without spilling it in three easy steps
Learning about Aerodynamics
Aerodynamics - This covers flight - How aeroplanes fly and fun experiments to try as well as links to science websites.
Feathers - This explains a bit more how feathers work and the different feather types. It also contains a couple of quick experiments.
Flight - How birds fly and how we use nature to make flying machines!
Gravity- the gravity test!
How do wings work? - make your own aerofoil.
