The Science Behind the News. 6 Fun Science Experiments for Kids. My kids love to work on science experiments so I’m always on the look out for simple kids science projects that we can do at home, using items we have around the house.
These science experiments I found look like fun. Remember to provide supervision as needed and keep your kids away from harmful chemicals! Crystal Geodes Here’s one from Martha Stewart that is actually a great way to decorate eggs for Easter too. It does require some skill because you have to use empty egg shells, but the end result is just gorgeous, isn’t it? Learning about Absorption My twins came home from school once with a white carnation that had turned blue as a result of absorbing blue water. Mad Scientist Potion Not only is this great fun for kids, but it’s edible and a great addition to your Halloween recipes collection.
Cell biology Here’s a fun one that the kids will enjoy eating too! Tye-Die Milk Baking Soda Explosion. Scirus - for scientific information. Top 10 Amazing Chemical Reactions. Our World Chemical reactions are part of our daily lives.
From cooking in the kitchen, to driving a car, these reactions are commonplace. This list is aimed at some of the more exotic and amazing reactions that most of us have not seen or experienced. My knowledge of science is limited, so if I have made a blunder in my descriptions, please let me know so that I can correct them! Here are the top 10 amazing chemical reactions.

The stuff you scrape off burnt toast is made primarily of atoms of carbon. But what makes up a carbon atom -- or any other atom? The first subatomic particle to be identified was the electron, in 1898. Ten years later, Ernest Rutherford discovered that atoms have a very dense nucleus, which contains protons. In 1932, James Chadwick discovered the neutron, another particle located within the nucleus.
And so scientists thought they had found the smallest atomic building blocks. Physicists have learned a great deal over the past 100 years. Here's a chance for you to construct a carbon atom. Before starting, you may want to refer to these guides: Are you ready? Related People and Discoveries entries. Magic Flower - Science Tricks - Surfing Scientist - The Lab. What's going on?
Your Magic Flower is powered by a groovy scientific phenomenon called 'capillary action'. Thanks to capillary action, paper absorbs water very rapidly. MAKE. The eagerly awaited OpenPCR kit is now shipping!
UPS picked up the first batch of kits and OpenPCRs are on their way to users in 5 continents and 13 countries around the world. For $512, every OpenPCR kit includes all the parts, tools, and beautiful printed instructions – you ONLY need a set of screwdrivers. A PCR machine is basically a copy machine for DNA. It is essential for most work with DNA, things like exposing fraud at a sushi restaurant, diagnosing diseases including HIV and H1N1, or exploring your own genome. The guy who discovered the PCR process earned a Nobel Prize in 1993, and OpenPCR is now the first open source PCR machine. Josh and I prototyped OpenPCR over about 4 months — it was a lot of fun. OpenPCR is designed for labs, classrooms, and garages.
