      You can extract some DNA from fruit (strawberries, banana and kiwi are supposed to work well)

      Physics Girl did a bunch of lockdown ones https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aaXZDazPxs

      Other classics include things like red cabbage indicator. If you ask your teachers, they should be able to give you some resources.

      I used to have a chemistry set that allowed me to do all sort of things at home. There are even more science-related toys and games today that will help you explore different aspects of science. A quick search online will show you what you can get.

      Science Sparks have collected many amazing chemistry experiments. My favorite one is the paper chromatography experiment, because I still use this to explain people of all ages what I do. Try it with different black pens! https://www.science-sparks.com/paper-chromatography-experiment/

      And of course the famous coca-cola fountain. https://www.science-sparks.com/infamous-coca-cola-mento-trick/
