Observe how your brain works while it is focused on one thing, and how it works while you are distracted by another thing.

Stir up some enthusiasm for experimentation with this candy-cracking science experiment!

Teach your child how butter is created by shaking up cream the old-fashioned way.

Make your own helicopter using a paper clip and a sheet of paper. Hold the spinner up in the air, let it go, and watch it spin gracefully to the ground.

Make your own marshmallows and mix up some very interesting third grade chemistry lessons while you're at it!

If your science savy third grader is up for a challenge, let her bend light with a casserole dish!

Set your young chemist up for an afternoon of science-fueled magic with a deceptively simple activity starring baking soda and vinegar!

This recipe makes bubbles that not only blow up nice and big, but do tricks and experiments! How do you do it? It's not a secret, it's science!

In this sound experiment children listen for differences as they tap on a bag of air, a bag of water, and a wooden block held up to their ears.

Air invisible; it doesn't make sounds; you can't pick it up and throw it. So how do we know it exists? Help your second grade scientist figure it out.

Think you can blow up a balloon without using your mouth? This isn't just a cool trick, it's also a great way to introduce chemistry and biology concepts.

Try this experiment to give your curious kid a more "solid" understanding of how temperature affects the states of matter.

Your third grader will delight in learning about sound waves as he observes the different sounds created by tapping on glasses with varying amounts of water.

Has your kid noticed how much bigger the moon looks when it's low in the sky? Here's an activity you can do to show them that it's just an optical illusion.

What is elasticity? Students will investigate how this concept applies to bouncing ball physics by testing the bounces of balls made out of different materials.

In this activity, you'll not only make your own bouncy balls at home, but your child will also learn how polymers are made.

Is it solid or liquid? Create oobleck and witness the amazingly weird oscillation between the two!

What's a liquid? What's a solid? What better way to experiment than by turning a childhood favorite, ice cream, into a homemade science lesson!

Teach your kids about entropy with this fun, easy exercise, and teach your money to dance while you're at it!

How powerful is the reaction between baking soda and vinegar? Find out here!

Celebrate April Fools' Day with a science prank that is sure to amuse...and educate too!

Introduce your second grader to the crazy world of static electricity with just a balloon and a sheet of paper.

This project demonstrates the correspondence between the volume of water displaced by a submerged object and the volume of the object displacing it.

Help your child explore chromatography, which is the process of separating colors or pigments, and create a neat art project in the process!

Get your sense of humor ready for this fun science experiment that demonstrates the fundamental physics of air pressure.

Most people assume that cold water freezes more quickly, but could that be false? Does hot water freeze faster than cold water? Let's find out!

For this science fair project, kids will learn how to make a lemon battery. They can conduct this classic experiment using readily available materials.

Help your kid feel like a superhero with this safe and fun science experiment that creates an electrical charge that's like a mini lightning bolt!

Your second grader will love this simple soda bottle race car activity. Make a ramp and customize your car for an entertaining way to learn scientific concepts.

Help your own young scientist tackle the wonders of static electricity from the comfort of his own home!
