  • swirls of food colouring in milk

    This chemistry experiment from CSIRO's Double Helix Science Club creates colourful milk that will help you learn about surface tension in liquids.

  • Oil & Water

    This experiment from CSIRO's Double Helix Science Club provides instructions on how to make your own oil experiments and recipes, while learning about emulsions.

  • Cabbage chemistry experiment.

    This experiment is from CSIRO's Double Helix Science Club and will help you learn about acids and bases using red cabbage.

  • fountain pen and ink jar.

    This experiment from CSIRO's Double Helix Science Club uses chromatography to show you how forensic scientists can catch criminals with ink.

  • A bowl containing green cornflour slime.

    This experiment from CSIRO's Double Helix Science Club provides instructions on how to make your own cornflour slime and learn about fluids and viscosity in the process.

  • photos for the cracking fun experiment

    In this experiment from CSIRO's Double Helix Science Club you'll learn about how what happens when water freezes. It's powerful stuff!

  • Two long crystals. Photo from www.sxc.hu.

    This experiment from CSIRO's Double Helix Science Club provides instructions on how to grow your own crystal and learn about super-saturation.

  • Photo of ice floating in oil

    What makes ice float? And how can you make it dance? This experiment from CSIRO's Double Helix Science Club will teach you about buoyancy by showing you how to make ice dance!

  • photo of ice and water in a tin can

    This pair of experiments from CSIRO's Double Helix Science Club demonstrates why the oceans do not freeze solid.

  • photo of a jar containing colourful density layers

    Build your own density column with this activity from CSIRO's Double Helix Science Club and investigate why layers of different liquids often don't mix.
