Test whether plants can grow without sunlight and water.

In this project children practice the scientific method while playing with puffy paint.

In this experiment you explore how tectonic plates move to create land and expand bodies of water.

In this experiment we will be determining whether birds prefer certain colors of seed.

Discover whether a metal will expand under hot water.

Which music genres have the fastest tempos? The slowest? This experiment determines if there's a relationship between beats per minute in a song and its genre.

How do organic materials become soil? This science experiment measures what materials biodegrade.

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