It doesn’t matter whether you are whiz at science or not, science experiments are always fun. Once you reach the middle school, the experiments also become a bit complex which adds an element of intrigue into them as well.

Here we have combined a list of 20 awesome middle school science experiments for you to try:

The Fruit Battery Experiment

This is a fun experiment in which you need some metals to function as voltmeter and electrodes, as well as a few lemons. You are going to attach the lemons to the metals in it and see on the voltmeter that how the current passes through them.

The Rocket Balloon

In this experiment, you have to make a rocket with the help of a balloon. Simply tape the balloon to a straw, blow it and tie it with a string. Now remove the string and see how the balloon functions just like a rocket does.

The Homemade Thermometer

Who says that a thermometer needs to have mercury. You can make your own thermometer at home with just some rubbing alcohol, a straw, modeling clay and some water.

Cleaning Copper Pennies

This is a fun and a very beneficial experiment. You can actually clean your copper pennies with some salt, vinegar and water and they are as good to use as ever.

Demonstration of Centrifugal Force

In this experiment, you get to demonstrate that how a body maintains its equilibrium even when it is moving in a circular motion. For this experiment you just need a piece of string and a small circular metal bob.

Electrochemical Cell

This experiment is awesome for those students who love electronics. This experiment shows how the electrical charges move. You just require 2 glass beakers, a voltmeter and a few chemicals for doing this experiment successfully.

The Potato Powered Clock

Do you have a simple LCD clock lying around whose battery has run off? Well, don’t worry, you can actually make it run again by just placing two potatoes at the each end of its power source.

Newton’s Laws of Motion

You can prove these laws through different experiments. Think of some awesome ones and you will be passing your whole day awesomely.

The Human Battery

In this experiment you get to show how a human body can act as a source of electricity under certain circumstances.

The Match Rocket

If you have got just a piece of aluminum and a matchstick with you, then you can perform this simple experiment showing the propulsion of an actual rocket.

Crush the Can

You are not going to crush the can physically but under certain atmospheric conditions to show how environment can affect the shape of an object.

Cleaning Water with Sunlight

If you are all set for a lazy few days, then you can perform this long experiment.

Measure Heights with Shadow

This experiment is the best to demonstrate that how your shadow can measure the heights of different objects.

Acid and Bases Producing Colors

This is an experiment revolving around the foundations of chemistry. It focuses on how through the use of certain indicators, acids and bases can produce a variety of colors.

The Balloon Powered Car

It is a very popular experiment among middle school students. It shows how a self made car attached to a balloon runs.Salt Water Conductivity

This experiment shows that how an electrolyte can be formed by mixing salt and water.

Demonstration of Centripetal Force

This experiment shows that anything which is moving in a circular motion is affected by an external force.

DNA Extraction from Spinach

If you have spinach at your home, then you can actually extract its DNA.

Beeswax Lip Balm

You can actually benefit from this experiment by making lip balm with coconut oil, beeswax and a few other ingredients already present in your kitchen.

  The Neutralization Experiment

This extremely simple experiment shows how an acid can be neutralized by using a base.
