Nine creative science projects to make and give!
Blog Post
Nine creative science projects to make and to give! Note: See Holiday STEM Projects to Make and Give for our updated Make and Give collection! Pairing science learning with creative projects that students can keep at the end of the activity is a win-win for students. Whether they make something to use or to display, finishing a science activity and taking home the results is always fun. At this time of year, there are many science activities that can also do double… Read more
Not a Normal Week: Doing Fun Science at Home during School Closures (Activity #9)
Blog Post
Follow along with a Science Buddies parent who is using family STEM activities to keep her kids learning at home during the COVID-19 school shutdown. New posts every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Today's adventure... building a grasping robot hand out of household materials. Nothing Normal Around Here If this was a normal week, I'd be telling you all about how this is National Robotics Week (#RoboWeek), how awesome building robots is for kids of… Read more
Now Playing: The Perseid Meteor Showers
Blog Post
Stay up late, or get up really, really early to catch nature's annual fireworks display. Students and families can extend Perseids fun with a hands-on science exploration of parallax. How far away are the things we see in the sky? By Kim Mullin Each August, a much-anticipated nighttime show plays live in our skies: the Perseid meteor showers. This annual event offers you the year's best opportunity to see meteors streaking across the sky, so long as you are willing to be awake well… Read more

Today's adventure... a neighborhood walk leads to pulling apart flowers, all in the name of science. Observing Nature Means a Little More Sanity It's been exactly two weeks since school closed for us, and I've learned a lot about each of my family members,… Read more
Ocean Currents and Weather
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
Ocean currents have a huge impact on our weather. If not for the ocean currents, the global climate would be similar to an ice age. Do you live near the coast? Find out which currents are near your coastline. How do they affect your climate? Where do they come from? Do they bring colder or warmer water to your area? Are they seasonal? What do you think your area would be like without them? Every three to seven years there is a weather phenomenon called El Niño, which is caused by… Read more
Ocean Currents: Weekly Science Activity
Blog Post
In this week's spotlight: an ocean sciences activity that helps families better visualize how ocean currents move. What does temperature have to do with the speed and direction of ocean currents? Make your own mini ocean model and find out! Ocean Currents: Modeling the 'Global Conveyor Belt' in Your Kitchen (full Science Buddies project idea) Seawater Science: Model Ocean Currents in Your Kitchen (science activity at Scientific American) Read more
Old Salty: Does Age Affect the Ability to Detect Salt?
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
Sauerkraut, pickled fish, pickled vegetables, kimchi, corned beef, processed cheeses, smoked lunch meats. Do you like these high-salt foods? What about your grandparents, do they? Do your grandparents seem to like most foods to be a bit saltier than you do? Try this science fair project if you want to find out more about the incredible, edible rock known as salt, and why people vary in how much of it they like to eat. Read more
Only If They Think They Can Get Away with It?
Science Fair Project Idea
Scientific Method
How many times have you seen a car without the appropriate permit (either a license plate or placard that hangs from the rearview mirror) parked in an accessible parking space reserved for people with disabilities? If you find this behavior upsetting, you might be interested in figuring out how to discourage "cheaters" who use these spaces to make a quick trip into the store. Is it enough to let them know someone might be watching? Read more

While you might enjoy cranberry sauce, if you’ve ever tasted a real cranberry you were probably surprised by the taste – definitely not as sweet as the sauce! Cranberries and cranberry juice are very tart to eat, but they can be delicious when combined with other ingredients (such as orange zest and sugar, or cranberry muffins!).  Cranberries add tartness to these foods because they are acidic, similar to lemons or limes. Foods that are acidic will usually taste sour or tart,… Read more
