Science Buddies Lesson Plans make it easier than ever for teachers to confidently lead standards-based science and engineering experiments and activities with their students. A collage of screenshots show a summary page for a catapult project on the website ScienceBuddies.org. At the top of the project summary page there is a navigation bar with tabs for lesson and teacher tools highlighted. Links on the right of the project summary page show a standards link that… Read more
Enzymes, Foam, and Hydrogen Peroxide
January 20, 2017 10:51 AM
A hands-on science activity helps students observe the role of the catalase enzyme in breaking down hydrogen peroxide in the body. Enzymes in the Body Enzymes are molecules in the human body that help speed up chemical reactions. Some enzymes help with the digestion of food in the body, but there are thousands of different kinds of enzymes, each designed to help with a specific reaction. For example, while you might use hydrogen peroxide externally, when hydrogen peroxide forms inside… Read more
Mechanical Science Scissor Lift
January 18, 2017 1:26 PM
Kids can experiment with physics and mechanical engineering at home or in the classroom by making a fun cardboard scissor lift. Explore Mechanical Science Simple devices and machines can be used to help solve everyday problems. A scissor lift is a device that can fold up compactly but can extend to a great length. This kind of device uses a system of mechanical linkages and can stretch out or contract with an accordion-like motion. In the Build a… Read more

Get Computer Smart about File Deletion
January 9, 2017 10:15 AM
What happens when a computer file is deleted may surprise you. A new science project guides students in investigating how files are stored and deleted and how different methods for file deletion may change the end result. Is a deleted file really gone? Put it to the test to find out! Is a Deleted File Gone for Good? Typically, when you delete a computer file, it is because it is a file you no longer need or want, and you intend to remove it from your computer. But sometimes, you might… Read more
Finger Paint Fractals
January 5, 2017 11:56 AM
Kids can explore fractals and search for similar and repeating patterns with a family-friendly science activity at home. Beautiful Math Fractals refer to specific kinds of patterns that repeat, often at smaller and smaller sizes. This characteristic of patterns that repeat at different scales is referred to as self-similarity. Fractals can be found in nature as well as in digital art. While the study of fractals is something mathematicians do, kids of… Read more
