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

see whether all liquids evaporate at the same rate. In other words, does water evaporate at the same rate as juice?

Use a deck of playing cards to practice place value and other math concepts with your upper elementary child!

Examine the presence of seeds in open fields. Collect seeds on socks by walking through open fields of grass or other growth. Germinate seeds on socks

All you need are pencils, paper and some scissors to get started on this easy and fun game to review astronomy information, or other types of study concepts.

This science fair project explores different types of endangered frogs, and why some are endangered while others are not.

In this project students learn about the golden ratio and investigate if it can be used to predict people's assessment of beauty in others.

This project examines how temperature affects the volume of gas in balloons.

Young physicists will wrestle with a discrepant event: the Hammer Ruler Trick. They'll make some inferences about torque, balance, and center of gravity.

Determine which metal has the highest rate of conductivity.

Find out whether cast iron or regular teflon pans heat up faster and also retain their heat longer.

This simple heat transfer experiment is a great introduction to the concepts of heat transfer and conduction.

Read on this high school science fair project idea to get basic information on the process of heat transfer and the conditions under which the transfer occurs.

Explore how you can achieve magnetic levitation with the Meissner Effect! This cool science project explains formation and applications of a superconductor.

Determine whether magic salt is more effective at melting snow than regular salt. Pour one ounce of salt over the ice cubes, compare the melt downs.

Based on the concept of water's "freezing point," this activity entails the lowering of water's freezing point to chill ice cream!

Determine the relationship between the speed of a sound and the temperature of the air it passes through.

Determine whether a hot liquid cools off faster when liquid is added before or after a two minute wait.

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!

Bake some cookies with an oven that collects sunlight and traps the shorter wavelengths (heat!).

Your child will learn more about coins and their denominations as he's asked to identify similar coins.

Formulate a hypothesis and use the scientific method to determine the guess what is hidden in a box. Test abilities of volunteers, without opening box.

Encourage your kindergartener to investigate and chronicle the weather she observes during the coldest months of the year.

This study observes plants, insects and an animal living in proximity to a known source of EMF.

This project examines the affect of temperature on viscosity and surface tension of different liquids.

Tangrams are a kindergarten staple, but now it's time to take them to the next level! Get your child started on geometry with this tangram puzzle.
