Ice Cream and Air Experiment #433
|
Lesson Plan
|
July is National Ice Cream month, so I thought I should do an experiment that
focused on ice cream. I usually have to find a way to tie ice cream in, but
this week ice cream is the main focus.

Making Butter Experiment #435
|
Lesson Plan
|
This week's experiment came from a conversation that I had with my sister.
We were talking about all the inventions and discoveries that have happened
during my Grandmother's 100 years, and how much daily life has changed. She
commented that she has her students make butter in the classroom, so they would
understand where it comes from. I knew that I had another experiment.

Feathers Experiment #436
|
Lesson Plan
|
This week's experiment came from one of my walks on the beach. At the edge
of the water, I found several feathers. As I was photographing them, I began
thinking about all of the science involved in the function of feathers, and I
knew that I had this week's experiment.

Chladni Patterns Experiment #437
|
Lesson Plan
|
This week's experiment came from playing, as many of my experiments do. I was building a small prototype of a smoke ring generator for my new storm show. Along the way, I got side tracked and spent quite a bit of time playing
with patterns created by vibrations.

Food Coloring Fun Part 1 - Color Swirls Experiment #438
|
Lesson Plan
|
This week, I have been working on my new storm show. While working on some
classroom demos to for teachers to use, I got side tracked again. It is
amazing how often that happens. I was looking at some different ways to look
at hurricane patterns, and wound up with a fun experiment, using food coloring. As I played with it, I accidentally found a second, and then a third fun
experiment. This is the original.

Food Coloring Fun Part 2 - Zipping Colors Experiment #439
|
Lesson Plan
|
Last week we started experimenting with food coloring, and I promised we
would continue this week. This one was an accident that caught my attention.
As I was putting a drop of food coloring into the bowl of water for last week's
experiment, something strange happened. There was some dried coloring on
the top of the bottle, and as I removed the top, some dried bits fell into the
water. What happened next was quite a surprise. The bits began to move
across the surface of the water, zipping along like little motor boats. As
they moved, they left a trail of color.

Scaring Pepper #431 Experiment
|
Lesson Plan
|
This week's experiment came as a surprise to me. I got an e-mail, asking for an explanation for one of my favorite science tricks. Because I get so many e-mails with science questions, I often answer them by sending a copy of a
past experiment that covered that subject. After so many experiments, I
sometimes forget what I have written about. As I looked, I was amazed that I could not find a past experiment that used this simple science trick. Now I have to go back and see what other favorites I have missed.

Candle in a Bottle Experiment #440
|
Lesson Plan
|
I also got a chance to spend some time chatting with the education staff at
the museum. While we were swapping ideas for fun science, we took a close
look at an old, and often misunderstood experiment.

Hurricane Winds Experiment #441
|
Lesson Plan
|
Living in Florida, this is the time of year that I spend a lot of time watching the news coverage of
hurricanes. My work on the new storm show is really paying off, because I am
already seeing things about hurricanes that I never saw before. That is where this week's experiment comes in. It is very simple, but
surprises almost everyone.

Melting Ice Experiment #442
|
Lesson Plan
|
This week's experiment comes from my favorite television program. I don't
watch a lot of TV, but I always make an effort to watch Good Eats with Alton
Brown. If you get the Food Network, the science in this show is incredible.
I highly recommend it to anyone who likes science and food. When Mr. Brown
performed this experiment, I knew that I had to try it for myself. I thought
that you might like it too.

Chocolate Milk Bubbles Experiment #443
|
Lesson Plan
|
This week's experiment is in honor of The Bubble Room, my favorite restaurant in this part of the state. If you have never been there, the place is sort of Willie Wonka combined with a flea market. Great food and lots of personality. It is called The Bubble Room because they have LOTS of bubble lights, the kind that you see as Christmas decorations. With all of those bubbles, I thought I would do a bubble experiment.

Pop Bottle Experiment #444
|
Lesson Plan
|
This week's experiment has taken several turns. I started three different
projects, but none of them came together firmly enough to use, so they all went
back into the idea file for more work. Then, as I was washing dishes, I
noticed something fun and unusual. While washing a large water bottle, I
suddenly got a small popping sound and a squirt of water in my face.

Concrete Strength Experiment #445
|
Lesson Plan
|
This week's experiment comes from an article that I read on concrete. While
it may not sound like an interesting subject, think what your life would be
like without it. We use it for roads, bridges, dams, buildings, drainage
pipes, and all sorts of other things. The part of the article that grabbed me
talked about concrete being both strong and weak. How could something be very
strong and very weak at the same time?

Mouth Pops Experiment #446
|
Lesson Plan
|
This week's experiment came from a student at one of my shows. While
waiting for my show, he was having fun with this fun method of making sounds,
and I just had to try it too. Soon, half of the kids in the audience were having fun with it, so I thought you might enjoy it too.

Pick Up a Marble Experiment #447

Lesson Plan

This week's experiment came from my friend, Mik Jacobs. He has been working
on his new program on energy conservation, but took time out to remind me of
a fun science experiment.
