Everyone knows that sharp objects and balloons don’t mix, so you might be surprised by the results of this fun activity! Observe how the polymers in a balloon allow it to withstand the stress of a pointy skewer. We promise you won’t hear any loud pops while completing this experiment!
In this simple experiment, play with the properties of water to create an impressive reaction. Because water molecules are attracted to one another, they create surface tension that can be broken by a substance such as soap. See how the break in surface tension affects the pepper resting atop it.
Celebrate Earth Science Week by creating your very own cloud in this demonstration! We love learning more about the earth and how it works, and earth science helps us do just that. Observe what happens as condensation forms and collects on smoke particles from an extinguished match. Make sure you have adult supervision when completing this experiment.
In this experiment, use the properties of the hydrogen bonds in water to your advantage by seeing just how many drops of water you can squeeze onto a penny before it spills. See if you can beat our Girlstart record and get more than 42 drops!
