VanCleave's Science Fun

Your Guide to Science Projects, Fun Experiments, and Science Research

With mouth wide open, vibrating air coming up the throat from the vocal chords leaving the open mouth and spreading in all directions.

Hi, I am Janice VanCleave, author of 50+ best-selling science experiment books for children ages 4 through high school. I taught science for 27 years and now am creating this science website. My scream was not staged. The picture was to be of two adult cats, which I was holding. A microsecond before the camera snapped, the two cats dug their claws into my skin as they prepared to leap out of my arms. A picture like this is great for making inferences. Kids could make "guesses" as to why I am screaming. They would be drawing on facts from the photo, such as I look like I am in pain or maybe I am just pretending.
