You probably know that objects sink or float in water depending on their density. But did you know that liquids can sink and float, too? In this activity, you will create a colorful liquid density column by stacking different liquids on top of each other. How many layers can you create? Written instructions are available on our website at https://www.sciencebuddies.org/stem-activities/liquid-stacking-density?ytid=lYITnkFxa5A&ytsrc=description

Science Buddies 2011 Summer Science Fellows explain the chemistry and physics of the explosion that occurs when they ignite ethanol trapped in a film canister. You can see the full science experimental procedure for this science fair project idea--and do it yourself!— in 'Getting a Bang Out of Breath Spray: Studying the Chemistry and Physics of a Small Explosion' project idea…
Set on the beautiful beaches of Hawaii, “Reefs at Risk” explores the harmful effects some sunscreen chemicals have on coral reefs, marine life and people. In order to protect this fragile ecosystem, Hawaii lawmakers pass a bill to ban the sale of sunscreens with oxybenzone and octinoxate. To learn more and download a reef safe sunscreen guide go to www.ReefsAtRisk.org
This issue is not just relevant to people living in coastal areas or visiting coral reefs; the use of these products inland…
What is the Carbon cycle? The carbon cycle is one of several biogeochemical cycles found on Earth. Carbon is found in almost all living organisms and makes up around .04 percent of our atmosphere.
What are the steps of the carbon cycle and how does the Carbon cycle work?
Carbon may travel several paths including,
The atmosphere, the terrestrial biosphere, the earth’s interior which includes the lithosphere, the ocean, and human influence like burning fossil fuels and other objects that store…
Did you know that a candle flame can jump through the air to light up another candle? It sounds like magic, but it is not! Watch this video and find out how the jumping flame trick works! This is our second entry in the @veritasium Science Communication Contest; it is inspired by the popular "jumping flame" experiment. It was made by Dr. Svenja Lohner, a Science Buddies' staff scientist.
