Use toothpicks and gumdrops to create a stable structure that is able to support the weight of a textbook!

Have you ever noticed that a straw in a glass of water looks bent? This is an example of something called refraction. Today, we’ll learn more about this concept and create a fun optical illusion that results in some unlikely color combinations! 

Today we’ll harness the sun’s energy and make S’mores in a handmade solar oven! We’ll also learn about the greenhouse effect, including the ways it can both help and harm us.

This experiment explores the famous Monty Hall problem, which shows that the probability of something happening isn’t always what it seems! To show this, we’ll play a fun, tasty game using cups and candy.

Learn about how static electricity causes objects to be attracted to each other!

In this experiment, we’re going to make a rainbow without the rain! We’ll learn how topics such as refraction and reflection come into play and discover why we can never find the end of a rainbow.

Have you ever wondered about how molecules are made? What makes the atoms in a molecule stick together? How are different molecules created? This experiment shows students how atoms and chemical bonds create molecules, and how different combinations of atoms create unique molecules.

Let’s take the science outdoors this summer and learn the physics of flying! In this experiment, we’ll build our own kites and explore why certain design choices help it soar best.

Learn about what makes balloons pop!

Did you know there are different types of clouds? Today, we’ll build an interactive cloud spotter that will get us outside and teach us about cumulus, stratus, and cirrus clouds!

Have you heard that the universe is expanding? This is a result of what scientists call the Big Bang, which gives us a new way of visualizing the universe. In this experiment, we’ll model this expansion using our own cosmic slime!
