One of my aims with Science Sparks is to make science as accessible as possible to kids and parents of all ages. I try to keep all the experiments as simple as possible, but the list of materials can often mount up and be a little overwhelming. With that in mind, I’ve compiled a list … Continue reading “Easy two ingredient science experiments for kids”

Alloys are made by adding another element to a metal. Creating alloys allows scientists to combine the properties of different metals. If a heavy, strong metal is mixed with a light, weak metal in the correct amounts, the result is a light, strong metal. For example, pure iron is very malleable (its shape can be … Continue reading “What is an alloy?”
