Fall is almost here. That means Halloween is almost here, too. What do you do when there is an oversupply of candies in the house? (yeah, right.) Candy science experiment, of course! This experiment is really spectacular to watch, but the science behind is pretty complicated… actually, I haven’t found a definitive scientific explanation agreed…

Traveling Water Experiment
Have you seen traveling water, i.e. water traveling from one cup to another without being close together or one directly above the other. It can be easily done with the help of a string! This traveling water experiment has demonstrated two important properties of water. Cohesion: Water molecules are attracted to one another and so they…
Make A Sundial
Have you ever wondered before the invention of clocks, how was time measured? As far back as 1500 B.C., ancient Egyptians used a sundial or “shadow clock” to tell time. In this experiment, we will build a homemade sundial and see how sunlight can be used to measure time. Let’s get started! What we need a paper…
Surface Tension Water Experiment – Water Drops On A Penny
Recommended Products Ezy Dose Straight Tip Glass Medicine Dropper 3ML Disposable Plastic Eye Dropper Set Transfer Graduated Pipettes Why Water molecules attract each other and tend to stick together. This cohesion property results in surface tension. Because water molecules at the surface of the water puddle attract more to one other than they do to the…

Refraction Of Light – Simple Water Experiment (Video)
Why Have you noticed that things look a little funny when you see them through a glass of water? Some of the aberrations are caused by the imperfection in the glass production. But there is more to it. Refraction is the bending of light as it passes from one transparent medium into another1. This bending…
How To Make A Rainbow – Simple Science Experiments
How Are Rainbows Formed? Sunlight or white light is a mixture of all the rainbow colors. The different rainbow colors are essentially mixed together to result in a white color. You may wonder why when you mix all the different colors of paint together result in black instead of light. That is because light mixing…
Why Is The Sky Blue? Simple Science (Video)
The Blue Sky On a clear day, you can see that the color of the sky is blue even though sun light does not seem to contain any color. So why is the sky blue if sunlight is colorless? Refraction Of Light The “colorless” light from the sun is actually white light. It is made up…
