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!

This taste buds science experiment demonstrates how strongly our sense of smell controls what we taste.

Teach your little scientist about the amazing powers of gravity by comparing the falling speeds of two yummy fruits

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

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

The objective of this science fair project idea is to determine if sound travels best through the air, water or a solid.

Here's a classic celery science experiment that uses celery and food coloring to demonstrate how plants absorb water.

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

What is it about a Slinky that causes it to walk down the steps? This simple experiment is a perfect illustration of both gravity and momentum.

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!

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

How do people move pianos and heavy furniture into tall buildings? Show your kids some pulley potential with this simple household exercise!

The purpose of this science fair project is to build a basic radio.

Hone your child's skills of observation and take a look at forensic science for an interesting afternoon of exploration and detective work!

Think you can blow up a balloon without using your mouth? This isn't just a cool trick, it's also a great way to introduce chemistry and biology concepts.

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

Teach your child about using pumps to move water in this simple and educational preschool science activity!

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

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

This experiment that explores water and air pressure will amaze your fifth grader as it appears that a single card is holding water in an upside-down glass.

Science isn't ho hum anymore when it involves building catapults to teach your fifth grader about projectile motion.

Take advantage of the fact that ink and water don't mix and introduce your kid to suminagashi, a Japanese form of art.

Help your kindergarten scientist understand the concept of surface tension with this simple science experiment.

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

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

On the next chilly, winter day, invite your fifth grader to make a hand warmer by experimenting with the loaded combination of a few natural ingredients.

Wool can absorb 1/3 of its weight in water, while still keeping the body warm. She can test this theory by performing a scientific sock comparison!

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