Wow! science experiments for primary school students are projects that light up your kids eyes, they get excited by the results and say, "WOW"! And that is what you want... so that your kids become interested in science and the world around them. You want your children and students to have a fun experience.

Here are my favorite science kits for primary age children because they have that WOW! factor. They create curiosity and stretch your child's imagination. Each box has 3 different experiment projects

Wow ! science experiments for primary school students can be based on science concepts from any field of science. However, biology science experiments are very popular with primary school students because the projects are very hands on. If you are looking for a fun and easy project to do for a school project, for extra credit or for a science fair, then explore biology project ideas.

The first focus that your wow science experiments for primary school students can have is a botany focus. Botany experiments are popular because seed germination experiments are easy to set up and fun to complete. Below you will find one example of many seed germination science projects that you can do.

Growing Seeds in Gelatin

Grow seeds in a sterilized baby food or Snapple jar filled with 3/4 inch of unflavored gelatin to which a few drops of liquid house plant fertilizer has been added for nutrients. This set-up provides an amazing environment for seed growth because:

  • 1. It doesn't need to be watered.

  • 2. All parts of the plant can be very easily observed.

  • 3. Many conditions for growth can be tested simply by wrapping the jar in foil or plastic wrap, or turning the jar upside down.

    • Experiment 1: OBSERVING GERMINATION

    What Do Seeds Look Like As They Germinate?

  • Place 6 or more seeds on the gelatin surface in a jar using the sterile transfer technique.
  • Observe the seeds every day to see the stages of growth, step by step.
  • Draw pictures of what appears first, second, etc., until students have a complete set of drawings, showing all the stages in the germination process. Have them identify the following parts: root, root hairs (especially in radishes), stem, seed coat, seed leaves or cotyledons (were originally inside the seed), and true leaves (first new leaves formed). Then give the students a set of drawings showing the plant at different stages and have them put the drawings in the correct sequence.

    • If you are looking for easy science experiments to supplement a written report for your science class then you can look at microbiology experiments. Skin cell projects work great for primary students interested in developing biology science fair projects. Cells can be harvested simply by swabbing the inside of your mouth or the inside of a friend's mouth. After collecting your cells you will want to examine them under the microscope, draw a picture of what you see and then label the parts. You can then explain why cell abnormalities occur and what they mean to an organism.
