In this science fair project, measure the strength of tea, using plastic cups, a photoresistor, and a multimeter. The Science Buddies project ideas are set up consistently beginning with an abstract, objective, and introduction, followed...

A collection of simple experiments for exploring the basic properties of light and color.

A simple lab experiment for students to find the density of two solids and a liquid (does not use water displacement). Note that number 1d should not state "weighs" since mass is being found.

Investigate the properties of a strange substance which acts like a liquid and a solid. This simple experiment can be done with corn starch and water.

This website has three different projects from which to choose on the topic of why the sky is blue. Also, you can scroll up to learn more about why the sky is blue.

A simple experiment that clearly demonstrates how light bends when it passes through water. Accompanied by a good explanation of what's happening, and a link to an article on refraction.

A simple experiment that clearly demonstrates angles of reflection when light hits a mirror. Accompanied by a good explanation of what's happening, and a link to an article on reflection.

This tutorial by Bill Nye explains how to make a simple barometer using a jar and a balloon. The barometer is an old and accurate first look at predicting the weather by examining the pressure of the atmosphere. Discover how atmospheric...

Use this site to learn how animals use hibernation, adaptation, and migration to overcome the difficulties of winter.

A team from the PBS show Rough Science Adventure have produced tests to determine attributes of water. Simple experiment guides will investigate pollution, mineral content, whether there are organisms living in the water, how to create a...

Air pressure can be dramatically shown with this simple experiment that only requires an aluminum can, tongs, a 2-3 quart sauce pan and a stove.

Defines capillary action and discusses its applications. The physics of surface tension, cohesion, and adhesion are explained and a simple experiment is provided. Includes a number of examples where capillary action takes place.

This tutorial from Bill Nye explains how to perform a simple experiment with a rubber band. The experiment demonstrates how friction can dissipate energy as heat.

This tutorial from Bill Nye explains the brain's process of "habituation." It presents a simple experiment that a learner can perform using socks to help understand how habituation works.
