Science experiments for all.

Science experiments for kids from 5-95...

Battle of the bouncing balls, keys on a shoelace, making balloon animals, freaky frozen hand, spooky slime, trumpet straw, straw propellor, disappearing coin trick, paperclip joining trick... and many, many more.

These science experiments generally show... which resources are required... how to do the activity... an explaination of the science involved.

Flash Science Videos
Darwin and Evolution Video (Flash) Find out how mockingbirds from the Galapagos Islands, not finches, gave Charles Darwin his ideas about evolution.	view
Taxidermy Video (Flash) Derek Frampton talks about how he became a taxidermist and the secrets of his craft.	view
Dinosaur Video (Flash) A tiny dinosaur with big canine teeth shows for the first time how one of the earliest dinosaurs grew into an adult.	view
Fish and Their Reproductive Habits Video (Flash) Fossilised pregnant fish was one of the first animals to have sex.	view
Neanderthals Video (Flash) New evidence reveals Neanderthals ate seafood such as shellfish, mussels and even seal.	view
Seaweed Survey Video (Flash) Follow Museum expert Professor Juliet Brodie as she carries out the first seaweed survey since the 1970s in Blue Anchor Bay along the Bristol Channel.	view
Mystery Insect Video (Flash) An insect not seen in the UK before was discovered in the Wildlife Garden in 2008 and it baffled insect experts.	view
A Rather Big Insect Video (Flash) The record for the world's longest insect has been broken by a 56.7 cm long stick-insect from Borneo which has joined the Natural History Museum's collections.	view
Windows Media Player / Quicktime
Ants and Termites Video Join Museum entomologist David Jones to explore the dominant ecological role of ants and termites in tropical rainforests. Find out why they deserve to be called super-organisms.	view
Beetles Video Forty per cent of all described species of insect are beetles. They come in a broad array of different shapes, sizes and colours. With emeralds, electric blues and reds, their shimmering brilliance catches and excites the eye - so much so that in some cultures they are used for jewellery such as buttons and broaches.	view
Edible Insects Video Museum entomologist Stuart Hine uses real insect specimens to give us the low down on the taste and nutrition of a varied bushtucker diet, from roasted slugs to crunchy crickets.	view
Ladybirds Video Find out about the counting system for ladybird activity...	view
Reptile Predators and Scavengers Video Museum snake enthusiast Peter Stafford looks at some of the incredible feeding behaviours of modern reptiles.	view
Meteorites Video Join Museum mineralogist Caroline Smith to discover more of the secrets of meteorites.	view
