MAKE & TEST
Don't Just Read About It. Try It.
Grab a few everyday materials, make a prediction, and see what happens. Niblo's experiments turn
scientific ideas into things you can actually see, touch, and test.
Build Your Own Mini Volcano
What happens when two ordinary kitchen ingredients meet? Create a bubbly chemical reaction using baking soda and vinegar, then learn why the fizz happens. Change the amounts, make a prediction, and see how your results change. It's a simple experiment with a surprisingly big reaction.
Make a Rainbow in a Glass
Can you stack different colors without letting them mix? Use liquids with different densities to create a colorful layered rainbow. Along the way, you'll discover that liquids can behave very differently depending on how heavy they are for their size.
Catch a Shadow
Shadows may seem simple, but they can tell us a lot about light. Use a flashlight and a few everyday objects to investigate how distance, direction, and size change a shadow. Try moving your light around and see if you can predict what will happen next.

“Niblo makes science feel like something you can discover anywhere. I love finding out why ordinary things happen and then trying the experiments myself.”

“I used to think science was mostly about remembering facts. Niblo made me realize it can be about asking weird questions and seeing what happens next.”
— Sophie T., Student
“The stories are fun, but I also learn something every time I read one. My favorite part is finding a new question I didn't even know I had.”
