Science Experiments for High School

December 16, 2024

Easy Science Experiments for High School

High school science is a wild ride of discovery, from learning physics to biology to chemistry. Engaging students in science experiments for high school brings classroom concepts to life and inspires curiosity.

Whether you’re a teacher looking for ideas or a parent encouraging STEM learning, there are endless possibilities for fascinating experiments.

Lab Sciences in High School

Hands-on laboratory experiments form the backbone of high school science education.

  1. Building Critical Thinking Skills
    • Experiments teach students how to use the scientific method—hypothesise, experiment, and conclude.
    • Simple experiments like reaction times or chemical reactions make complex concepts simple.
  2. Expanding Curiosity
    • Growing crystals and making DIY lava lamps – labs get students thinking creatively about science

Activities like our States of Matter Experiments help students connect theoretical knowledge to real-life applications.

The High School Science Classroom

The science room is more than a place for books and tests; it’s where theory comes to life. Doing simple scientific method experiments like testing plant growth under different light conditions makes learning fun.


Check out our Materials Workshop for Schools for similar concepts.


Inspiring Future Scientists

Students find inspiration for STEM careers through cool and memorable experiments.


Incorporate multi-sensory experiments like our Sensory Bubbles Workshop for a spin on traditional science.

What Is the Easiest Science Class in High School?

While every science subject has its difficulties, students often find biology or earth science more approachable.


Our Science of Bubbles workshop adds a fun factor to biology lessons.

Science Research Topics for High School Students

Research topics are a great way to get students to think critically and independently.

  1. Examples of Engaging Topics
    • The effects of pollution on water ecosystems.
    • Renewable energy experiments, like solar ovens.

Use hands-on workshops like Electricity for Kids to introduce relevant themes.

Easy Scientific Method Experiments for High School

The scientific method is the basis of every experiment.

Testing the effects of different liquids on seed germination.

Creating circuits with batteries and lightbulbs.


Our Fizz Bang Pop Experiments simplify these methods for high school students.

Top Science Experiments for High School

  1. Physics Experiments
    • Study the motion of pendulums or test Newton’s laws using a homemade ramp.
  2. Chemistry Fun
    • Mix baking soda and vinegar to create an erupting volcano.
    • Explore chemical reactions with our Slime SEN Workshop.
  3. Biology Basics

An unforgettable experience. Your kids will love it! We had Susie in Edinburgh, she was exceptionally good - with the animals and the kids, and the grown-ups too! We all had an amazing time. I highly recommend booking Susie for Wild Science if you're in Scotland. So many memories made!

We booked a corporate animal therapy session as part of Mental Health Awareness week, and it was truly loved by everyone. [...] Harriet was absolutely fantastic - super knowledgable, engaging and clearly passionate about every animal she introduced us to. [...] Harriet created such a calm environment that even our more hesitant colleagues were soon happily holding the snake. We can't recommend Wild Science highly enough - if you're looking to boost morale, reduce stress or just do something a little bit different for your team.

Attended a group with my husband & kids. Youngest being 1 & it was incredible. Different kinds of animals, was able to hold what we could & pet the rest.
Thanks again for the incredible experience! Fidget was amazing & we are now thinking if adding ferrets to the family. I hope fidget enjoys his chicken 🐔

Animal visit (Summer Fair Gilmerton Community Centre)
The management committee would like to thank Susie and trainee Amy for bringing the animals to the Community Centres Summer Fair. Once again, they were very popular with adults and children. Those attending said they enjoyed meeting and learning about the animals up close.

We were delighted to have both Shannon & Amy attend our free family event at Crystal Peaks shopping centre this Friday. Their communication on the run-up to our event was great. On the day, the head office called us to check everything was ready & the hosts arrived in plenty of time. We had a lot of very excited guests that got to enjoy a range of fascinating creatures throughout the day. The team were great with the public & very knowledgeable about their little critters. We can't recommend Wild Science enough. Thank you for making our day so good.

The animal expert we were lucky enough to have from wild science was excellent. She even managed to keep the kids at a 7 year old birthday party relatively quiet and very interested. Would highly recommend.

We have used Wild Science for 3 years at our school. Each year they deliver wonderful sessions to Nursery and Reception children. We have never had any issues and would recommend them to everyone. The children love the experience and the animals and staff are amazing!

Thank you Wild Science for such an amazing party! Amy was super professional and had the kids eating out of the palm of her hand. My son absolutely loved the animals she brought and we were so impressed with how she handled the group (of 3-5 year olds) and gave them interesting and fun facts about each animal which kept all the kids interested and engaged. It was so much fun, we would highly recommend it!!!

Ross was absolutely amazing. So patient, kind and knowledgeable of the animals and the slime workshop. We had a party of 20 and with the madness that ensued he was always calm and reassuring for each child if they were apprehensive of holding any animal - big or small. Would 100% book Wild Science again, especially Ross.
Thank you for making our animal lovers birthday so special!

Ross came to my sons 3rd birthday, he was brilliant, the kids had a great time, the whole thing was really relaxed and everyone got a good amount of time with the animals and really enjoyed the experience - the customer service beforehand was really good, great communication and lots of questions answered - highly recommend!
