Your child will do a fun science experiment using soap and pepper flakes to help understand the concepts of water molecules and the surface tension of water.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

This classic children's game-connecting two cups with a string-demonstrates sound's ability to travel through air vs through a solid.

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

How does the size of a vibrating surface affect the pitch of a drum? Learn about drum size and pitch with this easy science fair project idea.

Put your second grade scientist to work this Fourth of July with our colorful "liquid fireworks" project!
