Rubber band launcher: range against launch angle, maximum at 45 degrees
Show detailsHide detailsWhat it shows
A ball launched at the same speed travels farthest when the angle is about 45 degrees, and two angles that add to 90 degrees give the same range. This follows from R = v² sin 2θ / g.
You will need
- A wooden plank or a stiff cardboard launcher with a hinge made from tape
- A thick rubber band and two nails or pins for a catapult
- A protractor fixed to the side of the launcher
- A soft ball such as a table-tennis ball or a crumpled paper ball
- A long tape measure or a rope marked in metres
- An open ground or a school field
- A helper to mark where it lands
Safety: Launch only light, soft balls, never at people or animals. An adult must supervise and keep everyone behind the launcher.
Take it further: Launch from a table and show that the best angle is then a little less than 45 degrees.

Rolling race on a slope: hollow can, solid cylinder and ball
Show detailsHide detailsWhat it shows
Objects of the same mass and radius roll down a slope at different speeds, because their mass is spread differently. The ball wins and the hollow ring comes last, and the rolling acceleration can be calculated from the moment of inertia.
You will need
- A long smooth plank about 1.2 m long, raised by books
- An empty steel can with its lid and base on (hollow cylinder)
- A solid wooden or plastic cylinder of about the same radius, or a can filled with plaster
- A solid ball such as a steel or rubber ball of about the same size
- A phone stopwatch or phone video
- A tape measure and a protractor or a ruler for the slope
- A flat block to make the start line
Safety: Keep fingers clear of the objects at the end of the slope and catch them in a box.
Take it further: Fill a can with sand and a can with water and race them to see how a loose filling changes the result.
PhysicsMedium
Whirled rubber bung: checking the centripetal force formula
Show detailsHide detailsWhat it shows
A body moving in a circle needs an inward force of m ω² r. Whirling a bung on a string with a hanging weight pulling it inwards shows that this force equals the weight.
You will need
- A rubber bung or a ball of about 20 g (weigh it)
- About 1.5 m of strong thread
- A smooth plastic pen barrel or a glass tube (with the ends smoothed) to hold in the hand
- A set of washers or small weights as the hanging load
- A paper clip or marker tape on the string to fix the radius
- A phone stopwatch
- A ruler and a calculator
Safety: Whirl the bung in an open area, away from people and windows; an adult must supervise. Wear safety glasses if possible.
Take it further: Keep the weight fixed and plot T² against r to show that T² is proportional to r.

A marble falling in honey: viscosity from terminal speed
Show detailsHide detailsWhat it shows
A ball falling in a thick liquid reaches a steady speed where the drag balances its weight less the buoyancy. Stokes’s law then gives the liquid’s viscosity from that speed.
You will need
- A tall clear jar or measuring cylinder (about 30 cm) filled with honey or glycerine
- A glass marble or a steel bead of known diameter (measure it with a ruler against the jar or a vernier calliper)
- Marks of tape on the jar 5 cm apart
- A phone stopwatch or video
- A kitchen scale to weigh the marble, and a cup to find the liquid’s density
- A thermometer
- Warm water in a bowl to change the temperature
Safety: An adult must supervise any warming of the jar in a bowl of hot water; use warm, not hot, water.
Take it further: Compare mustard oil, coconut oil and glycerine at the same temperature and rank their viscosities.
PhysicsEasy
Archimedes’ principle with an overflow can and a rubber-band balance
Show detailsHide detailsWhat it shows
An object put in water seems lighter by exactly the weight of the water it pushes aside. The loss of weight, measured on a balance, equals the weight of the overflowed water.
You will need
- A small spring balance (kitchen hanging scale) or a rubber band with a ruler as a force meter
- An overflow can made from a bottle with a spout cut near the top, or a jar with a side tube
- A small catching cup
- Three solid objects, such as a stone, a metal nut and a steel spoon
- Thread
- A measuring cylinder or a kitchen scale for weighing water
- Water
Safety: An adult must cut the bottle with a knife or scissors and smooth any sharp edges.
Take it further: Use salt water and show that the loss of weight, and so the upthrust, is larger because the liquid is denser.
PhysicsMedium
Straw hydrometer: calibrating a float to measure liquid density
Show detailsHide detailsWhat it shows
A weighted straw floats lower in a lighter liquid and higher in a denser one. Marking it in liquids of known density turns it into a hydrometer.
You will need
- A plastic drinking straw about 20 cm long, sealed at the bottom with clay
- Lead shot, sand or small nuts as ballast
- Salt and a kitchen scale
- A tall glass or measuring cylinder
- A ruler and a waterproof marker
- Water, milk and cooking oil to test
Safety: An adult should supervise if sharp objects are used to cut the straw. Do not drink anything used in the experiment.
Take it further: Make a lactometer scale and test milk diluted with 10 and 20 percent water to see how the reading changes.
PhysicsMedium
Capillary rise of water against tube radius: Jurin’s law with glass tubes
Show detailsHide detailsWhat it shows
Water climbs up a narrow glass tube and goes higher in a narrower one. The height is inversely proportional to the radius, and the measured heights give the surface tension of water.
You will need
- Glass capillary tubes or pen refill tubes of three or four different bores (from a lab shop or snapped from fine glass droppers)
- Water coloured with a drop of ink or food colour
- A shallow dish
- A ruler or a graph-paper strip fixed on a card as a scale
- A magnifier to read the bore
- Clay to hold the tubes upright
- A thermometer
Safety: An adult must cut or snap any glass and smooth the ends; do not touch broken edges.
Take it further: Add a drop of detergent to the water and show that the capillary rise falls because the surface tension has dropped.
PhysicsMedium
Hooke’s law and spring oscillations: T² against load graph
Show detailsHide detailsWhat it shows
A spring stretches in proportion to the load, and a mass hanging on it bobs up and down with a period that depends on the mass and the spring constant. The two experiments give the same spring constant.
You will need
- A soft spring from a hardware shop or a short section of a Slinky (a pen spring is too stiff)
- A stand, a clamp or a hook fixed to a shelf
- A weight hanger and a set of 20 g or 50 g masses (washers or coin bags)
- A metre rule fixed upright behind the spring
- A phone stopwatch
- A kitchen scale to check the masses
- Graph paper
Safety: Keep the load light and your face away from the spring in case it snaps back. An adult should check the stand.
Take it further: Join two identical springs in series and then in parallel and show the effective k halves or doubles.
PhysicsMedium
Finding g with a simple pendulum: T² against length graph
Show detailsHide detailsWhat it shows
The square of a pendulum’s period is proportional to its length, with slope 4π² / g. The slope of the graph gives the acceleration due to gravity at your place.
You will need
- A small metal ball or a nut as the bob
- Strong thin thread about 1.2 m long
- A stand or a split cork clamp fixed to a door frame or a shelf
- A metre rule and a vernier calliper or a ruler to measure the bob’s diameter
- A phone stopwatch
- A protractor to check small angles
- Graph paper
Safety: Release the bob gently and keep fingers away from the stand. An adult should supervise a tall setup.
Take it further: Measure T for angles of 5, 20, 40 and 60 degrees and see how the period starts to rise at large amplitudes.

Solar cell I-V curve: maximum power point and fill factor
Show detailsHide detailsWhat it shows
A solar cell behaves like a current source up to a knee and then like a diode. Its power peaks at one load, the maximum power point, and the fill factor shows how close the curve is to a perfect rectangle.
You will need
- A small solar panel of about 6 V and 100 to 200 mA (from a garden light or toy shop)
- A 100 ohm rheostat or a set of resistors from 5 ohm to 1 kohm
- Two multimeters (voltage and current)
- Crocodile clips and wires
- A bright sunny spot at noon, or a bright lamp held at a fixed distance
- A cardboard tube or cloth for shading
- Graph paper
Safety: An adult must supervise work outdoors in the heat. Do not touch hot lamps; use only the low voltage panel.
Take it further: Measure the efficiency by dividing the maximum power by the light power on the panel’s area, taking sunlight as about 1000 W per square metre at noon.
PhysicsMedium
Savonius wind turbine from cans: lifting a weight at different wind speeds
Show detailsHide detailsWhat it shows
A vertical-axis turbine with two curved scoops spins in a wind, and the turning axle winds up a thread to lift a weight. The useful power it delivers can be compared with the power in the wind, which is ½ ρ A v³.
You will need
- Two halves of a plastic drum or a large bottle cut lengthways, or a cylinder cut in half (about 20 cm tall)
- Two round cardboard or plastic discs as the end plates

Spoon Pelton wheel: output power and efficiency against water head
Show detailsHide detailsWhat it shows
A jet of water hitting spoon-shaped buckets turns a wheel that lifts a weight. The power in the jet is ρ g Q H, and comparing it with the power lifting the weight gives the efficiency.
You will need
- A circular plywood or thick plastic disc about 20 cm across
- Twelve plastic spoons or bottle-cap halves as buckets
- A steel rod or long bolt as the axle, and two bearings from bottle caps
- A large bucket or tank on a raised stand, with a tube of 6 mm bore and a clamp as the nozzle

Which spinning top lasts longest? Paper plate and bottle-cap tops
Show detailsHide detailsWhat it shows
A top stays upright while it spins fast, then wobbles and falls as friction slows it. Tops with a wide, heavy rim and a sharp point usually spin for longer.
You will need
- Old CDs, cardboard discs or bottle caps
- Short pencils or sharpened sticks, 4 pieces
- Glue or clay
- Coins to add weight
- A stopwatch or phone timer
- A smooth table or tray
- Pen and paper for a results table
Safety: An adult must sharpen the sticks. Spin tops on a table away from the edge so small parts do not fly into eyes.
Take it further: Compare how long a top spins when the stick is long or short and decide where its centre of mass should be.
PhysicsMedium
Egg drop cushion: how much padding keeps a boiled egg whole?
Show detailsHide detailsWhat it shows
A soft cushion makes the egg stop more slowly, so the force on it is smaller. The same change in motion over a longer time means a smaller force.
You will need
- 6 hard boiled eggs, in zip bags
- Cotton, crumpled paper, sponge and shredded cloth
- Small cardboard boxes, 6 of equal size
- Tape
- A ladder or a first-floor balcony, with an adult
- A tray of soft soil or sand to land on
- A tape measure
Safety: An adult must do the drops from height and keep the area below clear. Use boiled eggs, and wash hands after touching raw or boiled egg shells.
Take it further: Add a paper parachute to the best box and see how much it raises the safe height.
PhysicsEasy
Rubbed balloon lifts paper bits and bends a thin stream of water
Show detailsHide detailsWhat it shows
Rubbing a balloon on hair gives it an electric charge. A charged object attracts light things like paper bits and even bends a stream of water.
You will need
- 2 balloons
- A wool cloth or dry hair
- Tiny pieces of tissue paper
- A plastic comb
- A tap or a bottle with a small hole giving a thin stream
- A notebook
- A dry sunny day
Safety: An adult must supervise the use of balloons with children under 8 and make sure no burst pieces are put in the mouth.
Take it further: Hang two charged balloons side by side on threads and see them push each other apart.
PhysicsEasy
Finding the centre of gravity of odd cardboard shapes with a plumb line
Show detailsHide detailsWhat it shows
Every object has one point where its weight seems to act, the centre of gravity. A shape hung from a pin comes to rest with this point directly below the pin, which lets you find it with a plumb line.
You will need
- Thick cardboard sheets
- Scissors
- A pushpin or a thin nail
- A cork or eraser to hold the pin
- A thread with a nut as a plumb line
- A pencil and ruler
- A tray
Safety: An adult must supervise the use of scissors and pins and keep the pin covered when not in use.
Take it further: Use the method to find the balance point of a banana-shaped piece and explain why a leaning tower does not fall as long as its centre of gravity is above its base.
PhysicsEasy
Which spoon gets hot first? Steel, wood and plastic with butter and beads
Show detailsHide detailsWhat it shows
Heat travels along a solid by conduction. Metals pass heat quickly, while wood and plastic pass it slowly, so a bead stuck on a metal spoon with butter drops off first.
You will need
- A steel spoon, a wooden spoon and a plastic spoon of the same size
- A tall glass or steel tumbler
- Hot water from a flask, about 70 degrees C (adult only)
- Butter or a little candle wax
- Three small beads or lentils
- A stopwatch
- A cloth and a tray
Safety: An adult must pour the hot water and stay with the children. Do not touch the hot water or the metal after it warms.
Take it further: Try copper wire, an iron nail and an aluminium spoon and place them in order from the best to the worst conductor.
PhysicsMedium
Convection currents: coloured hot water rising and cold water sinking
Show detailsHide detailsWhat it shows
Warm water is lighter than cold water, so it rises, while cold water sinks. This movement forms convection currents which carry heat through liquids and air.
You will need
- A clear plastic or glass tank, such as an aquarium or a large clear box
- A small glass bottle with a narrow neck
- Food colouring, red and blue
- Hot water, about 50 degrees C (adult only)
- Ice cubes made with blue colouring
- A cardboard card to cover the bottle
- A rubber band and a spoon
Safety: An adult must handle the hot water, which must not exceed 50 to 60 degrees C. Keep the tank on a flat table away from the edge.
Take it further: Heat one side of a water tank with a warm bottle and cool the other side with ice, and track the colour of a dye drop.
PhysicsMedium
Archimedes’ principle with a rubber band balance and an overflow can
Show detailsHide detailsWhat it shows
An object in water feels lighter. The upward force, the buoyant force, equals the weight of the water it pushes aside, and the rubber band shows it by shrinking.
You will need
- A thick rubber band
- A stone with a thread loop, about 100 g
- A stand or a nail on a plank to hang the band
- A plastic bottle cut into an overflow can with a spout
- A small cup for the overflow
- A ruler
- A kitchen scale
- Water
Safety: An adult must cut the bottle and cover the sharp edge with tape. Wipe up spills to avoid slipping.
Take it further: Use the method to find the density of the stone by dividing its weight in air by the loss of weight in water.
PhysicsEasy
Blow over a paper strip and watch it rise: fast air, low pressure
Show detailsHide detailsWhat it shows
When you blow across the top of a paper strip it lifts instead of staying down. Fast-moving air has lower pressure than still air, so the stronger pressure below pushes the paper up.
You will need
- A sheet of A4 paper cut into strips of 4 cm by 20 cm
- Two light paper cups or empty cans
- A drinking straw
- Two ping pong balls or light paper balls
- Tape
- A ruler
- A table
Safety: No special safety. Do not blow too hard or too long so you do not feel dizzy.
Take it further: Make a paper aeroplane wing with a curved top and measure how far it glides with different curves.
PhysicsEasy
Coin drops into a glass when the card is flicked: inertia tricks
Show detailsHide detailsWhat it shows
Objects keep their state of rest unless a force acts on them. When the card is flicked quickly, the coin does not move sideways and drops straight down into the glass.
You will need
- A glass or steel tumbler
- A smooth playing card or a piece of stiff card
- A coin, 5 rupees
- A stack of 5 coins or carrom pieces
- A thin ruler
- A plastic tray
- A sheet of paper and a bottle with a wide base
Safety: Use unbreakable steel or plastic tumblers for children under 8. Keep fingers away from the edge when flicking.
Take it further: Measure how the speed of the pull changes the sideways movement of the bottle using a marked paper strip.
PhysicsEasy
Rolling beats sliding: pencils as rollers under a heavy book
Show detailsHide detailsWhat it shows
It is much easier to roll a load on rollers than to slide it over the surface. A rubber band stretches less when the load rolls, showing that rolling friction is smaller than sliding friction.
You will need
- A thick rubber band, 15 cm
- A heavy book or a bag of rice, 1 kg
- Six round pencils or marker pens
- A table
- A ruler
- A strip of cloth to put under the book for a rough surface
- Marbles or a set of ball bearings, if available
Safety: Keep the rolling load away from the table edge so it does not fall on feet.
Take it further: Try rollers of different thickness and a glass bottle and see which gives the least stretch.
PhysicsMedium
Speed of sound from an echo off a wall, a clap and a stopwatch
Show detailsHide detailsWhat it shows
Sound travels at a finite speed, about 340 metres every second in air. A clap that returns as an echo from a far wall lets you work out this speed with only a stopwatch and a tape.
You will need
- A tall wall or building at least 60 m away in an open field
- A measuring tape or 50 m rope, or a map for the distance
- A stopwatch or phone timer
- Two wooden blocks or pans to clap
- A friend to time
- A notebook
- A calculator
Safety: Do the test in a safe open ground away from roads and ask an adult to come along. Do not shout or clap near anyone’s ears.
Take it further: Repeat on a hot afternoon and a cool morning and plot the speed against the temperature.

Why the sky is blue and sunsets are red: milk in water and a torch
Show detailsHide detailsWhat it shows
Tiny particles scatter blue light more than red light. Light through a slightly milky tank looks blue from the side and orange-red from the far end, like a sky and a sunset.
You will need
- A clear rectangular glass tank or a clear plastic box
- Water to fill it
- Milk, 1 teaspoon
- A bright LED torch or a phone torch
- A black paper to make the room dark
- A white card as a screen
- A teaspoon
Safety: Do not shine the torch into anyone’s eyes. Dry the outside of the tank so that it does not slip.
Take it further: Use three torches with red, green and blue filters made from sweet wrappers and see which colour is scattered most.
Before you start
How to choose a good project
Six things to think about before you decide. A project you understand and finish well beats a big one you rush.
Start with a question
Good projects answer a question you are curious about: why does iron rust, which fabric keeps tea hottest, how does a robot follow a line? A question gives your project a purpose.
Check what is asked
Find out whether your teacher wants a working model, a still model or an investigatory project, the size limits, the topic or theme, the date, and whether ready-made models are allowed.
Match your time and class
Each idea here shows a class band, a difficulty and a rough time. Choose something you can finish properly with time to test it, rather than something huge you have to rush.
Pick science you can explain
Judges and examiners ask how it works. Choose an idea whose science you understand, or can learn from your textbook and the free ebooks, and practise explaining it.
List materials and costs
Write down everything you need before you start. Many models use things from home; motors, LEDs, sensors and boards are easy to buy as spare parts or in a kit.
Make it your own
Change one thing and measure what happens, add a chart of your readings, or show a real-life use. Even a well-known model becomes yours when you add your own observations.
Plan your time
A four-week project timeline
Work backwards from the date of your exhibition or submission. Short of time? Do the same steps faster, but never skip testing.
- 4 weeks before
Choose and get it approved
- Shortlist two or three ideas
- Write your aim or question in one sentence
- Show your teacher and agree the idea
- 3 weeks before
Read and collect materials
- Read the science in your textbook and a free ebook
- Sketch the design with measurements
- Collect or buy the materials and spare parts
- 2 weeks before
Build and test
- Build one part at a time and test each part
- For an investigation, repeat each reading at least three times
- Write every observation in a notebook with the date
- 1 week before
Write the report and chart
- Aim, materials, method, observations, result and conclusion
- A neat table or graph of your readings
- A chart or poster with a labelled diagram
- Last 2 days
Rehearse
- Practise a one-minute explanation out loud
- Prepare answers to the questions below
- Pack spares: cells, wires, tape and glue
On the day
Present it with confidence
You will usually have a minute or two to explain your project, then questions. Practise both out loud at home.
A one-minute explanation
- 1Name and question“My project is a … It answers the question …”
- 2What it showsOne sentence of science, in your own words.
- 3How it worksPoint to each part as you explain it.
- 4What you foundYour readings or result, and what they mean.
- 5Real lifeWhere the same science is used every day.

- How does it work? Which law or idea of science is behind it?
- What did you change, and what did you measure?
- What went wrong while you were making it, and how did you fix it?
- Where is this idea used in real life?
- What would you improve if you made it again?

Stay safe
Safety rules for every project
Read these with a parent before you start. Ideas that need extra care carry their own safety note on the card.
Never use mains electricity
Power your models with cells, batteries or a low-voltage adapter. Never connect anything home-made to a wall socket.
Adult help for sharp and hot tools
Cutters, blades, glue guns, soldering irons and drills need an adult beside you. Cut away from your body on a board.
Chemicals with care
Use only safe household materials at home. Acids, stains and other lab chemicals are for the school lab with your teacher. Wear goggles and never taste anything.
Flames only with an adult
Candles and burners only with an adult present and water nearby. Tie back long hair and keep paper away.
Look after batteries
Do not short-circuit a battery, mix old and new cells, or puncture or heat a lithium battery. Remove batteries when the model is stored.
Small parts away from little ones
Magnets, button cells and small parts can be swallowed. Keep them away from younger brothers and sisters, and wash your hands after making.
Questions about science projects
Still have a question?
Chat on WhatsAppWhat is the difference between a working model, a still model and an investigatory project?
A working model moves or works to show a principle, such as a windmill that lights an LED. A still model shows how something is built or arranged, such as the layers of the Earth. An investigatory project asks a question and answers it by experiment: you change one thing, measure the result and draw a conclusion from your readings.
Can I buy a ready-made project?
Check your school’s rules first: some competitions want models made by the student, and some allow ready-made ones. Either way, you must understand how it works and be able to explain it. A good approach is to build from a kit, or to add your own measurements and chart to a ready-made model.
How long does a school project take?
Each idea here shows a rough time for the making. Leave extra time for reading, testing, the report and practice: three to four weeks from choosing to presenting is comfortable for most school projects.
What should go in my project report or file?
A title page, your aim, the science behind it, the materials, the method with a diagram, your observations in a table, the result and conclusion, precautions, and the books and websites you used. The free ebook “Writing a Science Project File” explains each part.
What if my model stops working on the day?
Carry spare cells, wires and tape, and test everything when you arrive. Take a short video or photos of it working at home. If something still fails, explain calmly what should happen and what you would check: judges value understanding as much as a perfect model.
