Science Experiments, Stories, Games, Projects, Videos and More for Kids (and adults too!)
This experiment will work great in full sun on a day when there isn’t much wind. The best option is to find a large window indoors that faces the mid-day sun’s rays.
Items required:
A large pizza box
white glue
several feet of aluminum foil
a ruler
a permanent marker
sturdy scissors
one sheet of black construction paper
1/2 feet of clear plastic [...]
The Pizza Experiment for Dinner?
For most parents, the thought of putting kids, and the hot surfaces and sharp edges of cooking, in the same room is a nightmare. When safety is observed, the kitchen can be the best laboratory!
Teaching your kids good safety habits in your home will translate to safety in their science class. [...]
We got together with one of our first course takers to show everyone how pulleys work… without using pulleys!
Sometimes what looks like clean water isn’t clean at all. If it looks dirty because there are some minerals in it it may not taste good but might be perfectly OK to drink. It might also be poisonous even when completely clear and odor free.
To clear this up (pun intended) Rick got a lesson in water quality from Michael Christophetes from The Granite Inspection Group (http://www.gigrp.com/). Mike is a home inspector and tests people’s drinking water often. In this short video he explain’s to Rick the what, where and how of what he usually finds out along the way… and then Rick drinks something that looks nasty.
Don’t do that at home unless you have professional water testing equipment!
-Enjoy!
As air moves it’s pressure changes. Changes in air pressure are what makes weather happen and airplanes fly.
Air moving quicker over the top of an airplanes wing creates lift. In this experiment we’ll demonstrate this useful property of physics.
Newton’s third law states that every action has equal and opposite reaction. We will put this law to test in this experiment and check its validity.
Do you think you can stop water from falling from a glass held upside down with only a porous net used to hold potatoes in a grocery store? Yes friends, it is possible to stop water from falling from a glass just by using a plastic screen -if you’re utilizing the property of surface tension.
ZOT! Experiment time!
We use electricity to power our lamps. How about generating your own electricity to power the lamp? Electrical charge ise transferred from one body to another while rubbing the two bodies. This can be seen when bits of paper are lifted in the air by a comb rubbed onto dry hair.
Electrons are relatively [...]
Today we bring you an interesting and easy experiment you can do at home. By doing this simple procedure you will experience examples of water tension, suspending solids in a liquid solutions and also learn a bit about pigments.
Here it is!
Color Changing Milk.
Background:
Milk is a liquid made up water, vitamins, minerals, proteins, and droplets [...]
