Kids will create their own version of Richard Feynman's rubber band heat engine to learn about thermodynamics with this cool science fair project idea.

In this cool project, create a lighted, scale model of the different layers of the Sun, including the core, radiation and convection zones, and photosphere.

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

This little chick is so cute that your child will want to make a whole flock to call her own.

How does frost form? How fast does it form? Do this simple science project using a plastic glass, rock salt and some water to learn about deposition.

Learn how starch and carbohydrates interact with different solvents in this fun and easy packing peanut science fair project.

In this science experiment, observe convection currents forming and learn about how heat energy moves in liquids from hot to cooler areas through convection.

Have your child observe, measure and record the amount of space objects occupy, and you'll have an inside space explorer on your hands in no time!

Chlorine and chloramine are added to our tap water to kill harmful microorganisms. What is the best way to filter these disinfectants in your drinking water?

This science fair project idea explores whether mint, known for its âcooling sensationâ really does lower temperatures.
