Collide Head On with this Toy
STEM Activity
Did it ever occur to you that tennis, bowling, Newton’s cradle, and cars bumping into each other all revolve around collisions? It is fascinating how a few rules of physics can predict the outcome of these collisions. You can discover these rules yourself with a fun homemade toy. Do the activity, play with the toys you make and be one step closer to understanding what happens when you shoot a marble into another! Read more
Color Mixing and Family Physics
Blog Post
Put on a colorful nighttime light show with this family STEM experiment! With inexpensive flashlights and colored cellophane papers, kids can experiment with additive color mixing. The results might surprise you! Mixing Colors From the time they are little, most kids learn about color mixing. In craft and art projects using colorful crayons, markers, and paint, kids are encouraged to explore how primary colors can be combined to make secondary and tertiary colors. In this week's… Read more
Color Profiles
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
Did you know that the same digital photo you see on a computer monitor may not look as good in print? When it comes to color profiles, there are a lot of options: RGB, CMYK, grayscale and indexed color! How do you choose the right color profile for the job? Read more
Color Saturation
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
Lively, vivid colors can add pizzazz and turn a dull photo into a work of art. Learn how changing the saturation levels of the colors in your photo can really make it pop! Read more

Colorful Walking Water Science Activity
Blog Post
This simple STEM activity turns capillary action and "siphoning" into an exciting rainbow-colored demonstration! Try this colorful "Walking Water" science activity How can you move water from one cup to another without pouring it? A simple hands-on experiment with a series of clear cups and paper towels lets students explore this question. When they see water move up and then down the paper towels, there will be plenty of opportunity for… Read more
Colorizing Images from the James Webb Space Telescope
Science Fair Project Idea
Engineering Design Process
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has shown us some amazing images of space, like its first "deep field" image (Figure 1). The JWST sees the universe in the infrared part of the electromagnet spectrum, which is not visible to the human eye. How, then, does it produce color images like the one in Figure 1? Scientists must colorize the images, or apply "false color." They map different bands of the infrared spectrum to colors of visible light, resulting in an image humans can view. Luckily,… Read more
Compare Circumference and Diameter with String
Blog Post
Things that are circular in shape surround us. From quarters to wheels to the openings of cups and bottles, circles are abundant, and they come in all sizes. In this week's family science activity, students explore properties of a circle, just like mathematicians do, to see if they can identify the relationship between the diameter of a circle and the circumference. This hands-on math activity turns these measurements (and the concept of Pi) into something that can be visualized with… Read more
