Simple and cute DIY science projects! A collection of ideas for girls that you’ll want to make (21–30)
Let’s make transparent eggs
A surprising science project: can a raw egg become transparent? The materials are simple—an egg, a cup that fits the egg, vinegar, and a paper towel.
Put the egg in the cup and pour in vinegar.
Cover the top with a paper towel and leave it for about two days.
You’ll find the hard shell has disappeared! The egg is also slightly bigger, squishy, and bouncy when placed on a desk.
It’s easy enough for first graders in elementary school.
By the way, do not eat the egg used in the experiment!
Sparkly Piggy Bank
Take on the challenge of making a sparkling piggy bank studded with gem-like, beautiful beads! Cut a plastic bottle in half and set it onto a base made from cardboard.
Cut a slot for inserting coins, and then all that’s left is to decorate it with beads and more! Make it as cute, lavish, and uniquely yours as you like.
If you make use of the lines already on the plastic bottle, your decorations won’t end up looking messy.
The cap area stands out the most, so it’s worth giving it special attention!
Original bath bomb
Some bath additives you use in your regular bath produce bubbles.
Those fizzy bath additives and bath bombs are easy to make yourself.
All you need is baking soda and citric acid, plus food coloring for color and essential oils for fragrance.
Since some combinations may not suit your skin, consider your skin type, pay attention to the ratio of baking soda to citric acid and how you handle the ingredients, and try making colorful bath bombs.
With creative molds, it can be an experiment that’s enjoyable to look at as well.
Herbarium Necklace
Let’s turn the ever-popular herbarium interior decor into a necklace.
Place your favorite glass pieces or flower-motif parts into a small glass dome and fill it with oil made specifically for herbariums.
Then apply resin to the lid area and cure it with a UV light.
Decorate it with cute charms, thread a cord through, and your necklace is complete.
Because it involves handling oil and similar materials, it’s best suited for upper elementary school students and older.
You can finish one in a few hours, so it’s fun to make several.
Experiment to dye flowers with food coloring
This is an experiment where you let flowers absorb water colored with food dye and observe how much dye and how much time it takes for the petals to become nicely colored.
It’s simple enough to do while you’re putting flowers in a vase to display, and it’s fun to watch, making it a great independent study project.
Prepare several white flowers and pour the same amount of water into each cup.
Add food coloring in increasing amounts—1 teaspoon, 2 teaspoons, and so on.
Place one flower in each cup and observe over time how much they become dyed and the condition of the flowers, then summarize your findings.
Even lower-grade elementary school children can do this.
You can also film it with your smartphone using a time-lapse.
suncatcher
Let’s make a sun catcher that gathers sunlight and makes your room sparkle.
You’ll need Swarovski crystals, nylon beading thread (monofilament), crimp beads, and pliers.
Thread the pieces onto the line in order, and keep repeating the process of crimping the crimp beads tightly with pliers to secure them.
You can buy kits, but it’s also nice to make one with Swarovski crystals in your favorite colors.
Recommended for upper elementary school students and older.
straw pan pipe
Let’s try making a straw whistle that can produce various sounds.
Prepare slightly thick straws, sturdy binder clips, a lighter, and scissors.
Clamp the end of a straw with a binder clip, trim off any excess that sticks out, and gently heat it with the lighter.
The straw will melt and fuse shut.
Make several straws of different lengths so they form a musical scale.
Since this involves using fire, I’d recommend it for 4th graders and up.
