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

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.

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!

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!

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.

Here's a classic celery science experiment that uses celery and food coloring to demonstrate how plants absorb water.

This science activity will help your student explore the changes that occur to transform an egg from raw to soft to hard-boiled.

Wool can absorb 1/3 of its weight in water, while still keeping the body warm. She can test this theory by performing a scientific sock comparison!

Before your treat your child (and yourself!) to a yummy snack, help her learn a little about Sir Isaac Newton's First Law of Motion!

This classic children's game demonstrates how sound travels through air vs. through a solid.

Introduce your child to the world of motion and physics with a bit of marble play inspired by Sir Isaac Newton!

Satisfy your sweet tooth with this easy summer activity! Make homemade ice cream and let your child practice his science skills.

First grade science often covers solids, liquids, and gases. This silly science explores serious facts about the difference between all three.

This classic children's game-connecting two cups with a string-demonstrates sound's ability to travel through air vs through a solid.

Magic, science, or household cleanser? Let your second grader decide with this practical, nontoxic chemistry experiment with acids and bases.
