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!

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.

What is a wedge? Kids find out by experimenting with different wedges in this simple science fair project idea.

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

Ready for takeoff! Make science fun and teach about levers and fulcrums as your child sends buttons flying.

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

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

In this science fair experiment, children demonstrate the relationship between the amount of stuff and the amount of pressure in a closed system.

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

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 demonstrates how sound travels 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.

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.

This simple heat transfer experiment is a great introduction to the concepts of heat transfer and conduction.
