Make your own amazing 3D printed optical illusions based on the work of Professor Kokichi Sugihara, including the "impossible arrow" and other shapes! These illusions exhibit "anomalous mirror symmetry" where their reflections appear flipped left to right in a mirror. Instructions and working example code in both MATLAB and Python are available on the Science Buddies website:…
Make a battery with pennies, nickels, salt, and vinegar in this fun science experiment! This type of battery is also called a voltaic pile. You can use a multimeter to measure the voltage and current produced by your battery, and even use it to light up an LED. Written instructions for this project are available on the Science Buddies website: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project-ideas/Energy_p015/energy-power/make-a-battery-from-coins?ytid=JcRRTHkAl6A&ytsrc=description…
Candle carousels, or Christmas pyramids, are part of the German Christmas tradition. It is fun watching them spin around like a merry-go-round. But why exactly do Christmas pyramids spin? There is no electricity, just candles! In this video, you will build your own candle carousel and investigate how the candle’s heat makes the candle carousel rotate. Written instructions are available on our website at…
Have you ever wondered what DNA looks like up close? DNA contains the genetic instructions for how an organism develops and functions. It stores all this information in its unique double helix structure.This video will show how you can make a DNA model out of candy to see this special structure up close! Written instructions are available on our website at https://www.sciencebuddies.org/stem-activities/candy-DNA-model?ytid=dC9uuHoIgXk&ytsrc=description
