The Experiments
Experiments are packaged as Mini-Labs that include:
- The materials you need
- An on-line, interactive demonstration that you can follow along
- Access to a wealth of members resources to help you get the most from your Kit.
There are also many free resources to get you started, with materials from around the home.
Experiments included in the Interactive Science Laboratory
Mini-Lab 1
This package includes three specialised kits and three more great experiments that you can do with materials found around the home. Read on for more information. Full instructions and an on-line interactive workshop are included with every purchase.
Learn how to isolate and grow micro-organisms using the same techniques used in science laboratories!
Instructions (Membership Required)
Use the kit provided to build your own solar powered model car and learn about the characteristics of solar power.
Instructions (Membership Required)
Build a model tornado using the special connector and two empty soda bottles and observe how a tornado forms!
Instructions (Membership Required)
Grow amazingly beautiful crystals from coloured sugar and salt solutions. Learn about the different types and patterns of crystal formation.

Mini-Lab 2
Click on each of the images or links below to go to the instructions - You need to be a Sci-sizz Member to access the full instructions for some of these experiments. Others are free, so go ahead and try them.
Learn the basics of how the Maglev train works! The "flying" pen is a great demonstration of how magnetic forces can be harnessed. Instructions (Membership required)
Did you know you can extract and view your own DNA at home, without hi-tech equipment? Yes!
Instructions (Membership required)
Mini-Distillation Kit
Distillation is the process used in so many industrial applications like producing petrol, spirits, or distilled water. See how it works, at home!
Instructions (Membership required)
Learn how to dissolved the shell off an egg so that the egg remains intact, leaving the egg "undressed"!
Learn how to make a bouncy egg. You can actually drop and bounce the egg from the short height (not too high!)
You can identify a boiled egg from a raw egg without cracking them, simply by watching them spin. This is a fascinating experiment from which you can learn a lot about physics.
