How does a kazoo, the strings of a guitar, or the speaker of a radio make sound? The purpose of this science fair project is to show how vibration makes sound.

Help your child get a grasp on what it was like to build gigantic ancient structures with this easy engineering activity about science and physics.

What causes sound? Here's a simple science experiment that adds a visual element to the science of sound to help kids better understand this tricky concept.

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.

Discover whether different amounts of water added into a wine glass will produce a different pitch when their fingers are rubbed along the rim.

In this air pressure science experiment with a balloon and a jar, children will use heat to create a partial vacuum and suck a balloon into a jar.

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

Using an empty tennis ball can and a swimming pool, you will determine if it's possible to have a conversation under water.

This science fair project idea produces sounds by creating vibrations using different objects.

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

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

In this Halloween-themed activity, young learners will find out what happens when they mix two household items together to create a surprising chemical reaction.

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

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