Dollar Store Science has arrived!

The day is finally here everyone!

After many months of development we are proud to present Dollar Store Science.

This series of lessons brings a solid foundation of science understanding to you and your children. We split it into 4 separate mini-series consisting of 3 basic “lessons”.

For each mini-series we’ll send you a few emails that will point you back to SuperFunScience.com’s website. On those pages there will be a short lesson, an experiment and a quiz. A video accompanies the entire day so you can follow along with the lesson and the experiment.

All of these experiments will utilize materials you can either find at home or pick up at the discount store for a few dollars. That’s where the name “Dollar Store Science” comes from! You don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars to get your children interested in learning science!

Each mini-series is on sale separately for $12.95US or you can purchase all four mini-series for $42.00US…

Except this week I want to offer everyone FIVE DOLLARS of the complete package. Simply enter the coupon code “A31369CFA2″ for five dollars off of the entire Dollar Store Science series.

Official Release of Dollar Store Science Coming Soon

Seventh of November, 2008

Next week is the official release of Dollar Store Science! We are excited that the day is finally here.

The science series, Dollar Store Science, consists of four different programs; one for each of the four hard sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Earth Science). With each program, there are three different episodes (science concepts) involved….

How do insects act when it’s cold?

When winters arrive, everyone from the mightiest to the smallest creature goes into hiding, especially in the cold regions of the world. Even humans for that matter prefer to stay within the confines of their warm home and put on warm clothes to maintain their body temperature.
Many animals, on the other hand, undergo hibernation. The [...]

Neanderthals Were Not That Primitive

How smart where these “cavemen” really?
The stereotypes that surround ancient humans were that they were not intellectually developed people, hunting animals using crude means and living life wearing leaves. However, the research shows that not all cavemen were primitive.
Man has evolved a long way since he parted company from his jungle cousins, the apes. Apes [...]

Can Physics Explain the Mentos - Soda phenomenon?

According to many of the videos on YouTube that demonstrate a Mentos and Diet Coke fountain, most are still not aware of the science that goes behind this phenomenon. When mint or fruit Mentos are dropped into [...]

What Makes Milk White?

This week we answer a question we got last week from Mike in Texas, “Why is milk white?” Some people will say that it’s because the fat floating in it (ewww) but they would not be telling you the whole story. IN fact, they are pretty far off base. We sat down and Amanda decided she could better answer this one.

What is the Periodic Table of the Elements?

The Periodic Table of Elements is a method of displaying and organizing the chemical elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, and neon.  However, the periodic table is much more than simply a list of elements.
The periodic table allows for people to make predictions about many physical and chemical properties. The periodic table is a framework for [...]
