KS1/2/3 Chemistry Experiments

KS1/2/3 experiments

Below are lists of just a few simple experiments that can be carried out at home and in a science lab at school. I have provided web links for each for instruction on the procedures.

These experiments allow younger children to see how chemistry can be exciting and fun and the important role it plays in our everyday life.
