A teenage girl has faced court after she was charged with possessing extremist material and instructions to make explosives.

South Australian Police arrested the 14-year-old at a home in Adelaide's southern suburbs on Thursday following an investigation.

She was charged with possessing explosive instructions and extremist material.

She appeared in the Adelaide Youth Court on Friday, where she was released on bail and scheduled to reappear in April.

Extremist material is considered anything that directly or indirectly encourages, glorifies, promotes or condones terrorist acts, or seeks support for, or justifies the carrying out of terrorist acts.

The maximum penalty for possessing explosive instructions is seven years imprisonment, while possessing extremist material carries a maximum jail sentence of two years.
