Showing Results for physics motion water slide

Have your child kick off their summer vacation by making a miniature water slide!

Introduce your child to the world of motion and physics with a bit of marble play inspired by Sir Isaac Newton!

Looking for hot weather fun? Cool the kids down with a homemade slip and slide! You can create your own water park atmosphere for just a few bucks.

Delight your budding scientist with this cool physics magic trick and teach her some basic physics concepts while you're at it!

This simple "how to make a water wheel" activity makes physics come alive for your child by demonstrating how different kinds of energy work.

In this simple circular motion experiment, you'll observe tangential velocity and learn about how acceleration and centripetal force affect an object.

Work on measurement by sliding cards along a table with your second grader in this fun game. Use centimeters or inches, add up your totals, and see who's won!

Determine whether butterflies like to drink sugar water, salt water, or plain water.

Will increasing the amount of salt in water effect how slow or fast the water freezes?

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!

This science fair project on testing water hardness is a great introduction to practical chemistry. Test and learn the difference between hard and soft water.

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.

Help your first grader explore the world of scientific measurement by "weighing" fruit with a "water scale"!

Learn about sound physics and do a survey experiment to explore the difference between sound and noise in this science project.

This science fair project idea demonstrates that plants give off water.

Water, along with soil and light, is a necessary component for plant growth. So what's better for promoting plant growth: tap water, or rain water?

This science fair project idea compares biodiversity between drops of water.

Here's a fun science experiment that's refreshingly tasty too! Turn regular water into a tasty treat perfect for consuming on a hot day.

Examine whether distilled water, spring water, or regular tap water yield faster plant growth.

What is it about a Slinky that causes it to walk down the steps? This simple experiment is a perfect illustration of both gravity and momentum.

Using an empty tennis ball can and a swimming pool, you will determine if it's possible to have a conversation under water.

Help your kindergarten scientist explore an important part of earth science: how soil retains water.

How does water pressure change with depth? Kids learn how pressure works underwater with this cool and easy demo.

Here's an interesting activity that will enable your child to make his own magnifier out of a drop of water

Demonstrate the properties of pressure and surface tension to explain how water can stay inside an upside down glass using cardboard.

In this science project, learn about water transport in plants and make a beautiful dyed floral arrangement with cohesion, adhesion, and xylem tubes!

Science fair project which determines if plants really do need water to grow, or whether they just need to be kept wet.

Test whether plants can grow without sunlight and water.

This project is a vivid, concrete introduction to the basic but important idea that plants need sunlight and water to grow.

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