Here is a simple physics experiment you can do with your kiddo. You can bend water using the static electricity in a balloon. Yes, you can BEND WATER! How cool is that?! Why Every object is made up of small particles called atoms. A balloon comprises many atoms and so does your hair. These particles are…

Can You Make Rain?
Can you make rain in your own home? We came across a rain making experiment that uses hot boiling water to create steam which then condenses under a plate holding ice cubes. Then my 4 year old asked me who was heating up the water in the ocean to generate steam. I explained to her that…
Does Water Conduct Electricity? Simple Experiment
“Don’t touch a switch with wet hands!” We were all taught that since we were little kids. It does seem like water can conduct electricity and that is why we shouldn’t touch any electrical outlet or switches if our hands are not dry. Does water really conduct electricity? Let’s find out by doing a simple controlled…
How Are Ocean Currents Formed | Water Convection Experiment
How Are Ocean Currents Formed Ocean currents are formed in several ways – by wind, by gravity, by events such as earthquakes and by density differences in the water. Density in the water changes when temperature or salinity varies. Why Temperature can change the density of a fluid. In this experiment, higher temperature causes water to…
Magical Floating Water | Science Experiment
Do you know that water can defy gravity and float in midair? It sure can. Let’s try this magical floating water experiment. Air molecules, which we cannot see with naked eyes, are constantly moving and bombarding everywhere. The resulting force is air pressure. Normally, the air pressure above and below the water are the same….
Finding Iron In Breakfast Cereal
Have you ever read the cereal box and noticed that there’s “iron” in the cereal’s nutrition list? Have you ever wondered, “Can a magnet attracts cereal?”
The Science Of Bubbles – Can You Poke A Bubble Without Popping?
Little kids love soap bubbles – blowing bubbles, chasing them, trying to catch them and eventually popping them. It’s all part of the fun and one of many children’s favorite outdoor activities. Do you know why bubble pop when they are touched? Is it possible to touch a bubble or even pierce through one without…
Magnetic Field Force Experiment
Here is another experiment on magnetic force. This time, we are using iron filings to see the magnetic field in 3-dimension. Magnet attracts iron and the magnetism can act through many materials such as paper, cellophane, plastic or glass.. They spread over the space by aligning themselves with the magnet’s force field. So what you…
Cool Rainbow Color Experiment
Kids are fascinated by rainbows. A rainbow is the result of light reflection, refraction and dispersion through water droplets in the air. A spectrum of rainbow color can usually be seen after rainfall when the air is full of moisture. Among the spectrum of colors, red, blue and yellow are primary colors. They can be combined…
Water Cycle
What Is Water Cycle? Water cycle is also known as hydrologic cycle or hydrological cycle. It describes how water moves continuously on Earth. Water loops through different stages – evaporation, condensation, precipitation and flow. It then goes back to the evaporation stage. The whole cycle starts all over again and hence the name “water cycle”. Water Cycle…
