Written by My science experiment fortune teller is a fun way to make science fun at home. Fold the fortune teller, play with a friend and then start experimenting.
The activities are designed to be easy to carry out using only inexpensive materials. Each can also be extended if needed, so it’s not just a quick five minutes and finished type of activity.
All you need to do is print the FREE fortune teller pack, which contains instructions for the eight experiments and a template for the paper aeroplane and paper spinner. Grab the materials and get started.
Science Experiment Fortune Teller
You’ll need
Paper
Skittles
Water
Scissors
Paperclip
Lemon
Balloon
Ruler
The pack includes eight easy science activities.
Skittle Rainbow
Make a colourful rainbow with Skittles and water. This is always a fun science activity that looks great and always works!
Paper Plane Power Up
Use my handy template to fold a paper plane and then have a competition with a friend to see who can make it fly into a target.
Shadow Show
Design and build shadow puppets to create a shadow show outdoors on a sunny day.
Speedy Spinner
Paper spinners are easy to make and spin impressively when dropped from a height. Use my template first, and then experiment with spinners of varying sizes.
Small spinners spin and fall quickly, while bigger spinners spin and fall slowly.
Invisible Ink
Make your own invisible ink with lemon juice. The activity can be extended by experimenting with lime juice and milk!
Paper Fold Off
Try to fold a piece of paper 7 times. It’s harder than it sounds!
Fast Reactions
We love testing reaction time with a ruler! It’s easy to do, and you can get competitive with a group of friends!
