Experience the wonders of science at home with exciting experiments and demonstrations created in collaboration with BBC Bitesize Daily.
BBC Bitesize lessons
Our BBC Bitesize Daily lessons bring together clips from Bitesize programmes, stories and images from our Science Museum Group collection as well as additional activities and thought provoking questions.
What is the difference between weather and climate? Discover some factors that control them.
Science Week with BBC Bitesize
If you missed them on CBBC and BBC Two, you can tune into the science-themed Bitesize programmes on either iPlayer or the Red Button at any time.
Our amazing Explainers from the Science and Industry Museum are featured, carrying out table-top experiments that are simple enough to try along at home. We also have lots of jaw-dropping, large-scale experiments filmed in the Science Museum’s Wonderlab: The Equinor Gallery in London.
Below are links to each programme on iPlayer according to age range.
Make a bubble-blower and bubble trumpet with Hannah-Rose, and investigate different shaped bubbles and how we can make them float and sink with Sam and Alexandra.
Do our Rocket Mice activity with Maxwell, Tim Peake shares what it takes to be an astronaut and watch a Pringle can hydrogen rocket demo with Alexandra.
Hannah-Rose demonstrates how astronauts wee in space by making water disappear, Tim Peake shares how the International Space Station recreates conditions on earth and Alexandra looks at the solar system using our giant Orbits exhibit.
Hannah-Rose does a tablecloth trick and Alexandra and Sam make a non-Newtonian fluid dance around using sound. Both activities are featured in our Kitchen Science booklet.
Maxwell explores how aeroplanes stay in the air with our Make It Fly activity and Sam and Alexandra look at fluid dynamics with a Bernoulli principle experiment.
Hannah-Rose demonstrates the Bernoulli Principle using the hair dryer and ball experiment and Sam and Alexandra use the Pulley Up exhibit in Wonderlab.
