Science research

There are countless numbers of free science experiments out there. Just think about the materials you have around your house. There is no need to go out and buy a bunch of pricey items to create a great science experiment. You can do many experiments with water or food with items you already have in your home, such as finding out what the effect of salt is on the boiling temperature of water. For this experiment all you need is a pot, water, salt, measuring spoon and thermometer. Boil some water, test the temperature, and then add one tablespoon of salt to the boiling water, stir, and test the temperature again. You can add a few more tablespoons (one at time) and test the temperature of the boiling water after each additional scoop of salt. Be sure to record your finding so you can compare afterwards.

Or, if you want to do free science projects with food you could test and see which place is best to store fruit in order to keep it freshest the longest. For this all you need to do is get a few pieces of fruit and place them in various places throughout the room; maybe one in the fridge, one on your dining room table and one in a pantry. Then, wait and see which piece of fruit goes bad first and record your results. It doesn’t take much to think of a free science experiment that you can conduct in your own home, or outdoors where you could experiment with bugs and plants.
