Try this experiment to give your curious kid a more "solid" understanding of how temperature affects the states of matter.

Most people assume that cold water freezes more quickly, but could that be false? Does hot water freeze faster than cold water? Let's find out!

Make water and clay play a little more scientific with this hands-on experiment that teaches displacement and shows how an object's shape affects its buoyancy.

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!

This is a quick, easy science fair project that conveys the idea of density to upper elementary students.

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

In this air pressure science experiment with a balloon and a jar, children will use heat to create a partial vacuum and suck a balloon into a jar.

Teach your kids about entropy with this fun, easy exercise, and teach your money to dance while you're at it!

Your third grader will delight in learning about sound waves as he observes the different sounds created by tapping on glasses with varying amounts of water.

Show your child that the simplest ingredients (salt and water) can be used to illustrate the concept of density!

Engineers in training can get started with this simple wheel-and-axle construction activity.

This easy aerodynamics activity is a simple way to introduce kids to the scientific method.
