Teach your first grade scientist the difference between liquids and solids using maple syrup.

In this 3rd grade science activity, you'll experiment with the little-known fourth state of matter: polymers! Mix borax with white glue and watch what happens.

Help your child understand surface tension by showing them how they can create a "skin" on top of water.

An home science experiment for older students that teaches about the science behind heat.

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!

Play this flashlight game with your child to teach him about objects that are transparent, translucent, and opaque.

Invite your fifth grader to test the different rates of liquid absorption in synthetic and cotton materials, such as nylon and cotton.

Sink or swim? Calculate the density of various fruits and vegetables using water and a kitchen scale.

This science fair project demonstrates the principles of reflection through simple experiments involving mirrors and light.

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

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

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

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.

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!

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.

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!

Children combine an acid and an alkaline substance to simulate a volcano eruption in this fun experiment.

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

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.

This activity is a fun way to "go fishing" with your preschooler, while learning about the concepts of freezing and melting.

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

Explore the scientific concept of capacity by seeing how many pennies you boat can hold before it sinks!

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

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

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.

Here's a fun at-home activity that will help your child strengthen math skills using high and low temperature data, and become a master temperature tracker!
