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.

In this 3rd grade science activity, you'll experiment with the little-known fourth state of matter: polymers! Mix borax with white glue and watch what happens.

Help your child understand surface tension by showing them how they can create a "skin" on top of water.

An home science experiment for older students that teaches about the science behind heat.

Invite your fifth grader to test the different rates of liquid absorption in synthetic and cotton materials, such as nylon and cotton.

Sink or swim? Calculate the density of various fruits and vegetables using water and a kitchen scale.

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

Magic, science, or household cleanser? Let your second grader decide with this practical, nontoxic chemistry experiment with acids and bases.

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

Make your own helicopter using a paper clip and a sheet of paper. Hold the spinner up in the air, let it go, and watch it spin gracefully to the ground.

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!

Has your kid noticed how much bigger the moon looks when it's low in the sky? Here's an activity you can do to show them that it's just an optical illusion.

Is it solid or liquid? Create oobleck and witness the amazingly weird oscillation between the two!

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!

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

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

Learn with makes water molecules work with this fun and easy science activity!

In this activity, you'll not only make your own bouncy balls at home, but your child will also learn how polymers are made.

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.

Here's a fun at-home activity that will help your child strengthen math skills using high and low temperature data, and become a master temperature tracker!

This science fair project examines how tsunamis travel by simulating a tsunami moving around an island. You will generate a pretend tsunami in a swimming pool.

Make a DIY golf putter and design your own golf putting course in this 2nd-3rd grade arts and crafts/game activity.

Help your child understand the scientific concept of evaporation with this fun outdoor science activity.

This science fair project idea experiments with spinning color wheels and optical illusions.

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!
