Delight your budding scientist with this cool physics magic trick and teach her some basic physics concepts while you're at it!

Introduce your child to the world of motion and physics with a bit of marble play inspired by Sir Isaac Newton!

Learn about sound physics and do a survey experiment to explore the difference between sound and noise in this science project.

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.

Get your sense of humor ready for this fun science experiment that demonstrates the fundamental physics of air pressure.

Combine the science of physics with the fun of playing spy. Your young detective can make his own tiny looking glass. It's simple to make!

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

Kids construct a single fixed pulley system to learn how pulleys can make work easier in this cool physics and engineering science fair project idea.

In this science fair project, students use the streak test to tell minerals apart from each other.

There are many benefits to bugs and insects. This science project shows how cockroaches, termites, and other critters benefit our planet.

Science fair project that examines albedo, and how this information is applied in the design of cars, sportswear, and other items. Which colors reflect light?

In this science fair project, kids observe the expansion of liquids when frozen and determine if some liquids expand more than others in the freezing process.

The purpose of this science fair project is to explore whether UV light passes through some colors and not others by looking at blue, red, purple, and clear.

This science fair project idea investigates if webbed feet help a duck (and others) swim.

Did you even wonder why some rocks are round and smooth while others are broken up into small pieces?

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

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

In this sound experiment children listen for differences as they tap on a bag of air, a bag of water, and a wooden block held up to their ears.

This science fair project idea explores if the length of the string that an object is suspended on has an effect on how fast or slow it swings.

In this project students experiment with making music using only glasses of water.

In this simple circular motion experiment, you'll observe tangential velocity and learn about how acceleration and centripetal force affect an object.

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

Using a toy race car kids create a visual model of the Doppler Effect.

This trick uses vertical and horizontal forces to help your child to push apart your hands apart, no matter how hard you try to keep them together!

This project compares the strength of one, two, and three-ply toilet paper.

This science fair project idea investigates how the height at which a pendulum is released affects the length of time it continues.

How does a kazoo, the strings of a guitar, or the speaker of a radio make sound? The purpose of this science fair project is to show how vibration makes sound.

Here's a great activity that uses corks and toothpicks to create a fleet of floating boats. Which design makes for the most seaworthy vessel?

Air invisible; it doesn't make sounds; you can't pick it up and throw it. So how do we know it exists? Help your second grade scientist figure it out.
