Science Lab and Maths Lab for Kids: Learn by Doing, at Home and in School
An interactive Science Lab or Maths Lab lets a child learn by doing: predict what will happen, set up the experiment, run it, observe the result, and then answer questions that check understanding. New Age Learning's labs work on any phone or computer, follow NCERT topics for Class 4 to 10, and are free.
How a lab works
- Predict first. "Which object will float?" Guessing first makes the result memorable.
- Set up. Choose the materials, numbers or conditions.
- Run it and watch. See what happens — and why.
- Answer questions. Instant feedback shows whether the idea is clear.
This follows NEP 2020's focus on experiential, hands-on learning, without needing a physical laboratory.
Examples from the Science Lab
The Science Lab for younger classes includes experiments such as:
- Float or Sink?
- Shadow Play
- The Magnet Test
- Build a Circuit
- The Ramp Race
- The Dissolving Race
- Evaporation and the Water Cycle
- Separate the Mixture
- What Does a Seed Need?
- How Water Travels Up a Plant
- The Starch Detective
- Fooling Your Own Senses
Each experiment ends with "Now answer these" questions, and real-life connections ("Science around you"). See Science Lab - Basic 1 or all Science and Maths labs.
What the Maths Lab adds
The Maths Magical Lab series turns abstract ideas into things you can see — fractions, place value, shapes, patterns, data and more, class by class from Class 4 upward. After each activity, questions confirm the concept. Browse them on interactive labs.
Using labs at home
- Let your child predict aloud before running an experiment.
- Ask "why did that happen?" after each result.
- Follow up with chapter practice: Science practice or Mathematics practice.
Using labs in school or tuition
Teachers can assign a whole lab or just some pages to a class, set a completion date and see each student's progress and scores on the lab questions. See for teachers and tutors.
Frequently asked questions

Which classes are the labs for?
There are labs from Class 4 up to Class 10 — each lab shows the classes it suits.
Are the labs free?
Yes, they can be opened free on phone or computer.
