Hands-On Science: No-Prep Science Experiments Using Everyday Household Items
Explore fun STEM experiments using everyday household items, including Magic Water, Build and Melt a Snowman, Grow a Rainbow, and the Unbreakable Bag
Course Summary
Little scientists can choose to fully participate in each hands-on STEM experiment using simple household materials or observe and learn at their own pace. Each learner will have access to a printable science journal (scientist worksheet) designed to guide them through making predictions, recording observations, and practicing early scientific method skills in a fun, structured way.
Step-by-step instructional science videos are provided to make learning easy, engaging, and classroom-like from home. Learners are encouraged to feel part of a real science class environment, with opportunities to ask questions and communicate with the teacher throughout the course. New video lessons are released on a consistent schedule, allowing families to learn flexibly and independently.
Each lesson includes a printable science journal page, supply list, and guided experiment instructions to support hands-on learning and reinforce key STEM concepts.
Experiments Included:
Grow a Rainbow (Chromatography & Capillary Action) Watch colors travel and grow while exploring how liquids move through materials.
Unbreakable Bag Challenge (Pressure & Materials Science) Investigate how water reacts when pencils are pushed through a sealed bag—and test how strong it really is.
3-in-1 Magic Water (Air & Water Pressure Experiments) Explore air pressure and water resistance through surprising experiments with upside-down cups, floating tissue, and “magical” water behavior.
Build & Melt a Snowman (States of Matter & Chemical Reactions) Create a fun snowman and observe a fizzy melting reaction while learning how matter changes states.
Flexible Schedule Course Format
This is a self-paced science course with no live video meetings, making it ideal for flexible learning, homeschool families, and independent learners. Students can complete activities on their own schedule and interact with the teacher through the classroom forum and private messaging.
Course Curriculum
Elizabeth McMann
As a homeschooling mother of five, and teacher since 2017, I felt led by the Lord to create an online educational platform. My style of learning didn't fit into the mold of what was out there. Not to mention, the rising prices of other educational platforms limited what classes my children could enjoy. Sifting through online classes and full curriculum that aligns with Christian values is tricky. Today, it seems most Christian curriculum is boring bookwork and/or very costly. I sought to combine everything that I value in education. Teach Me Truth provides entertaining video lessons, live online classes, online games, quizzes, worksheets, and community - all designed by independent teachers within our nonprofit platform.
