Mixtures are a Combination of Two or More Parts. Solutions are a type of mixture in which one substance dissolve in the other. The substance in a solution that dissolve is called a solute (solid, liquid, or gas). The substance in a solution that does the dissolving is called the solvent (solid, liquid, or gas). […]
Teaching the Fun of Science
“I highly recommend this book to teachers. The experiments are easy and fun. The directions are easy and the materials are general items from around the house.” Teaching the Fun of Science (Paid Link) “I bought this book because I was doing a rock study for my grade three classroom.” Day one: “I did a […]
Fluorescent Highlighters
Fluorescent highlighters are extra bright in sunlight, but not so different than other highlighters under a desk lamp. This is because two bundles of light energy is being sent to your eyes and both are for the same color. This makes the color more intense–louder–brighter–super-bright. Let’s consider a yellow fluorescent highlighter. One source of light […]
Teaching about Gravity using Science Magic
Using gravity you can cause an unattached rope to seemingly lift a bottle. As with all magic–its a trick. In this trick, gravity is used to pull a ball into place so that it presses so hard against the rope that it cannot move. 1. Ask an adult helper to cut a slit in the […]

Hypotheses are often called “educated guesses.” This means that you have enough experiences and knowledge to figure out the answer to a problem. A hypothesis can also be defined as a prediction about the outcome […]
Tongue: Taste Buds
Free science experiment about taste buds for kindergarten and younger. Link to free science experiment ideas about taste buds for elementary and/or middle school.
Forces: Balanced vs. Unbalanced
Have you ever played tug-of-war? Was there an oozing mud puddle separating the two teams? If so, the people at the ends of the rope wanted to win by pulling the other team into the mud, but not at much as the people next to the mud puddle. It will be these people that fall […]
