Parasite Video
Amanda went to visit Tony from The Breath of Life. He gave a great explanation of internal human parasites (ewww, gross) for us.

Daredevil Egg Experiment
This experiment was written by 12 year old Michael R. from Florida, USA!
Daredevil egg
Background:
This experiment is used to observe another Newton’s second law, according to which the force applied is the product of mass times the acceleration produced in the object.
Problem:
To verify Newton’s Second Law by using a placemat, tube and egg.
Materials:
An [...]
What is a parasite?
Parasites are small organisms; they are often too tiny to be seen with the naked eye. However, others parasites like mites and ticks can be visible. There are many types of parasitic fungus and parasitic insects.

The history of water pollution
Let us look at a brief history of water pollution, where it came from, and what are the factors that lead to water pollution.
What’s in your water?
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!
The Cup Trick Experiment
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.

Nasty and Smelly
Bad for everything
Don’t drink that!
How to decrease water pollution at home
Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies such as lakes, rivers, oceans, and ground water. This contamination may harm humans, animals and plants depending on the contaminated water. If you want to avoid sickness coming form contaminated water, you may need to ensure that you will decrease water pollution from your home.
Spinning Rocket Experiment
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.
How to Use Sports to Enhance your Child’s Understanding of Science
Kids are all reeling from the excitement of the Olympic Games these last few weeks, but can they relate any of that to science? Absolutely!
Aspiring athletes, or students struggling with a scientific concept, may find that the perfect demonstration is sports. Many kids love sports, and sports are science. Every skill, movement, victory, and loss [...]
How does solar power work?
Solar Power is power that can light up your house, heat your pool and do other power generating functions with the energy that comes from the sun. So If the power generated comes from the sun, does this mean that you will not have power to light up your house during the night or during [...]

How to find planets in the night sky
Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Venus and Mercury are all very easy to spot with the naked eye -IF you know where to find them. Using a little know-how and maybe the use of some tools found on the web you can walk outside and point right at these planets. It’s quite easy.
Compare the planets sizes
“The planets range from small to large”, what does that really mean? This excellent example shows you exactly what that means in a short film.
One Way Surface Tension
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.
Why do bugs fly around lights?
This week we answer a question from David in North Carolina, USA.
He asks, “Why do bugs flay around the lite outside on my porch?
Amanda explains on video…
New game
We have a new quiz game for you to try!
Check it out here.
Makemake-ing a New Dwarf Planet
Plutoids, the term given to dwarf planets like Pluto which sit beyond the orbit of Neptune, have just recently received a new addition to the family, Makemake.

Looks like an egg omelet?
Might smell like one too…
