Depending on the level needed, English, history. I could possibly stretch to geography, basic religious tenets sort of RE (dunno how it's taught here), primary school maths if you're desperate. Or DIY at home science experiments (primary school only).

I'd have to Google the specifics, but my mum got a science degree and we did lots of stuff. Watching markers break up into different colours on special paper in water, (safe, messy) chemical reactions. Explain gravity by using a marble, experiment with angles and friction. I won a science experiment with the latter.

I can make cupcakes and I'm sure (I'd have to Google the facts first, lol) I could reasonably explain how that's a chemical reaction caused by heat.
