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

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

This science fair project idea determines if the size of the parachute will change the rate at which an object falls.

Help kids tap into their inner inventor by teaching them how to make peanut butter through trial, error, and lots of taste testing!

Why does purple cheese look nasty? Because color plays a big part in how we perceive the taste of different foods. Are birds just like us in this respect?
