Science Demonstrations
These Demonstrations are included in a bundle of 101 Science Demonstrations & Experiments.
You can find this bundle here in my TpT Store.
These exciting demonstrations use mostly inexpensive materials that you can find around your home or that can be easily purchased. I show how to run the demonstration, give helpful advice and explain the science concepts behind it. Many of these demonstrations can be turned into STEM projects for your students.

Also please check out my bundle of 36 STEM Activities: STEM for the whole year!
These demonstrations can be used to engage students of all ages! Students learn best when they’re engaged, captivated, excited, and curious. Science Demonstrations are a great way to do just that!
I’ve spent the past two years putting together my favorite 101 science demonstrations and have created tutorial videos that will teach you how to run the same demonstrations in your own classroom or home!
In each tutorial, I talk through the materials you’ll need, walk you (step-by-step) through the demonstration and then discuss the science involved. After watching the tutorial, you’ll feel confident and excited to perform these demonstrations. Your students will be excited to share what they’ve been learning with others!
Being a teacher myself, I understand the budget constraints we are all under. The materials in these demonstrations are very budget friendly and easy to obtain. Many of the materials can even be found around your home or school.
A core component of NGSS is the phenomenon—a real world situation that peaks the students’ interest and drives them toward solving a problem. These demonstrations can walk hand-in-hand with phenomenon to help your students not just learn about a topic, but to actually figure out why something happens. Many of these demonstrations help to address the new NGSS standards. Although any given science demonstration won’t completely cover a standard, it is a great “lead-in” to introduce the concepts addressed in the standard. Here is a basic list of standards associated with one or more of the science demonstrations in this product:
Sample Demonstrations:
Chemistry
Color
Combustion
Density
Electricity
Energy
Food Science
Forces and Motion
Light
Magnetism
Sound
Sublimation
States of Matter
