I love science and British Science Week is great as there are so many more ideas and products everywhere. The latest science kit I reviewed is one by Project Mc2 For this experiment I have created a video with my very special assistant Adrienne Attoms. I hope you enjoy it!

Experiments are a great part of science that allow children of all ages to engage in fun and exciting hands on learning experiences that they will enjoy. Little scientist Diego shows in his videos how to use real science tools for simple experiments which are very effective to learn basic scientific concepts. In his videos he experiments with different things and observes what happens, which…
Over the years London Mums very own little scientist Diego has made lots of progress learning about science, including biology and physics by practical experiments which we have featured in the past. He will soon be 9 and his interest in science is now more developed and requires more advanced kits to satisfy his curiosity. The best for him at this stage is Nancy B’s Science Club Black Light…
Summer is the ideal time of the year to get little scientists outdoor discovering nature and learning all about the world around them. Say no to screen time and yes to outdoor fun.
Our little scientist Diego has been exploring what’s hidden in the grass and reported back in this cute video.
Diego shows how kids can turn an ordinary drive into an action-packed excursion with the GeoSafari®…
Here is another easy experiment made by our Little scientist to learn the sinking and floating concept.
Tools: a beaker, tweezers.
Extras:
Water
Small objects such as coins, cotton balls, cereal pieces, rocks, raisins, cork, etc
Key science concept:
Objects sink or float in water.
What to do:
1. Fill the beaker with water.
2. Select a few objects to be placed in the water.
3. Predict…
Here is another great scientific experiment for our little scientists. Little scientist Diego called this experiment dancing raisins. He learnt that the fizz in fizzy drink is called carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a gas that creates bubbles.
Tools: tweezers, magnifying glass, beaker
Extras: clear fizzy drink, raisins
Key science concept: the fizz in fizzy drink is called carbon dioxide.
Here is another easy experiment by Little Scientist Diego. He learnt that lemon juice is an acid and that Water is not an acid. And in the process he made a few pennies shinier 🙂
Tools: two beakers, tweezers, bigger bigger
Extras: dull pennies, water, lemon juice, paper towels
Key science concepts:
Lemon juice is an acid. Water is not an acid.
What to do:
Check the video to follow the…
Take a look at this video where our little scientist six year old Diego attempts to make his very first volcano inspired by the history how Mount Vesuvius destroyed the Italian city of Pompeii.
Materials little scientist used:
Baking soda or bicarbonate of soda (the latter seems to produce a better eruption)
Vinager which you can colour using red food colouring for a more realistic effect

During British Science week little scientist Diego was very busy learning new chemistry principles using a nail science kit, that has been brought out by the makers of Project Mc2 dolls aimed at girls. The pack is really good fun even for boys who have an interest in science and Diego proved to get on with this cosmetic chemistry experiment called hydrographic printing just fine although he was…
The media are all about science and technology and there are really inspirational science books for kids out there. No wonder so many kids want to be scientists these days.
My 10 year old son Diego picked two of the best ones for his Summer holidays. Be prepared to have plenty of household junk available for the experiments.
Being a scientist isn’t just about wearing a lab…
