Got a young scientist at home? Try this project with him!Create your own molecule design with this home-made clay recipe and some toothpicks!

Try the classic balloon-on-the-wall trick with your kid and watch static electricity in action.

Future whistleblowers can learn about product safety standards with this exercise in writing and researching.

This experiment uses a yeast solution, liquid detergent, and hydrogen peroxide to produce an exciting reaction like no other!

Explore solids and liquids with your young scientist by making gluep, a goopy substance that can behave like both a solid and a liquid!

A homemade lava lamp gives any room a retro flair. Find out how to make a homemade lava lamp, and learn some science too, with this educational activity.

Introduce your child to science with something they see everyday--their shadow!

Put your second grade scientist to work this Fourth of July with our colorful "liquid fireworks" project!

Explore concepts in current and coltage with these Van de Graaff generator experiments.

This fun, think-outside-the-box activity introduces kids to gravity and other basic scientific concepts as they construct an impressive marble run!

In this science experiment, your child will test the strength of hollow structures in order to understand how strong bird bones really are.

Every time a sound is produced it emits a sound wave. This experiment demonstrates how sound travels, using nothing more than a spoon and a string!

Get your hands on a concoction that breaks the rules about what's a solid and what's a liquid.

Deck the halls with last season's Christmas lights for a spectacular and electrifying science activity.

Teach your child some scientific basics as you explore the densities of various liquids in this fun experiment.

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

This science project examines the history of earthquakes and what we can do to prevent future disasters.

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.

Make water and clay play a little more scientific with this hands-on experiment that teaches displacement and shows how an object's shape affects its buoyancy.

Take a look at forensic science with your child. She'll learn how to take a shoe impression, just like the detectives do!

Here's a science activity that lets a first grader use an empty dish detergent bottle to create his own fountain as he explores air pressure.

How do we know that air exists when we can't see it, taste it, or touch it? Here's a classic experiment that will teach your kid some basics of aerodynamics!

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

In this physics project, learn about the relationship between light intensity and distance using a laser pointer, flashlight, and graph paper!

Explore the wave-particle duality of light! Learn how light can behave as both a wave and a particle in this cool physics science fair project idea for kids.

This balloon-powered car project is a great way for your kid to learn about energy and how it can be used efficiently.

Before digital cameras, before Polaroids, there was the original pinhole camera. Build a pinhole camera and see what true vintage photography looks like!

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

Learn with makes water molecules work with this fun and easy science activity!

Delight your budding scientist with this cool physics magic trick and teach her some basic physics concepts while you're at it!
