This list is a compilation of our favorite accounts from around TikTok. We are not sponsored by or affiliated with any of the accounts below, we just find them entertaining and educational.

1. @stevespangler

Steve Spangler is a master of demonstrating fun and easy science experiments. Interestingly, Steve has always found an entertaining (and messy) way to make science enjoyable for everybody, including performing in person for Ellen DeGeneres herself! Head over to his TikTok or watch his appearance on Ellen's show. Either way, we’re pretty sure you’ll be delighted! Watch as he shows us how to conquer the balancing nail challenge in this video.

2. @astrosamantha

Imagine what running in space would be like.🤔You don’t have to imagine though, you can watch @astrosamantha show you exactly how it works! An astronaut of the European Space Agency, Samantha boldly goes where no TikToker has gone before! Hop over to her TikTok page and find out what life in space is like.

@astrosamantha How do you run in space? Happy #GlobalRunningDay #MissionMinerva #SpaceTok ♬ Run - OneRepublic

3. @wolf_science

You might wonder what is Bernoulli's Principle? Wolf Science does a wonderful job of illustrating it with a practical, real-world demonstration utilizing just the air in his lungs and an incredibly long plastic bag. It does seem impossible right? Checkout his Tiktok video and see it unfold right before your eyes.

6. @incrediblescience

How do I not break an egg? Well, hold it just the right way. @incrediblescience demonstrates the reason behind this and other fun scientific phenomena. He does all of this quite dashingly with his golden magician’s coat delivering knowledge with alchemy. Is it magic or just science at work? It’s up to you to find out.

@incrediblescience Impossible to break an egg this way! #eggchallenge #eggdrop #scienceexperiments #learnontiktok #teachersoftiktok ♬ you broke me first - Tate McRae

7. @atomstalk

You probably couldn’t guess what would happen if you placed a few little foil cups atop an electrostatic generator. This fascinating video from @atomstalk demonstrates just what occurs when the electricity is turned on. How lovely is that?

How We Chose These Accounts

We looked for TikTok accounts that make physics tangible, whether that means hands-on demonstrations, astronauts and astrophysicists sharing real expertise, or explainers breaking down everyday physics concepts. Follower count and engagement mattered, but we also made room for smaller creators doing solid physics education. We checked that each account is still active and posting before including it.
