Materials: 1. Food Coloring 2. Liquid Dish Washing Soap 3. 3 Tablespoons of Warm Water 4. 1 Tablespoon of Dry Yeast 5. 1/2 cup of 20-volume hydrogen peroxide from a hair salon 6. Empty 16 ounce Plastic Bottle 7. Small Cup 8. Safety Goggles 9. Tray Steps: 1. First, put on your safety goggles and place a tray in front of you. 2. Next, pour the hydrogen peroxide in the bottle. (Make sure to have an adult complete this step) 3. Then, add 8 drops of any food coloring of your choice in the bottle. 4. Next, add 1 tablespoon of liquid dish soap into the bottle and swish it to have the materials mix. 5. Then, combine the warm water and yeast together in a separate small cup and mix for 30 seconds. 6. Finally, place the bottle in the tray and pour the yeast water mixture into the bottle. Lesson: While doing this experiment, foam appears having each tiny foam bubble filled with oxygen. The yeast acted as a catalyst or helper to remove the oxygen from hydrogen peroxide. If you touch the bottle, you notice that it is warm. That means your experiment made a reaction called exothermic reaction because it creates heat.

In zero gravity, ping pong becomes real-life pong, because with no gravity to alter its course, the ball just keeps travelling straight in the same direction.

You probably think this is a no brainer.
DUH people will swim faster in water, because syrup is thick. But the real answer is SUPER SURPRISING.
Science put things to the test to this “simple” question.
Sixteen volunteers took turns swimming in water and then a syrupy mixture.
Their times were thoroughly compared and, there was no difference between the speeds in the water versus the syrup. How can that be?
The explanation seems to lie in the fact that, while syrup does provide more resistance for the swimmers to overcome, it also helps them generate more forward momentum by pushing against the thicker liquid.

How to tell how old an egg is.
Egg shells are porous, so as they age, they absorb more air, making them float! But old doesn’t mean bad–before you throw out those floaters, crack ‘em open; if they smell and look like a normal egg, you’re in the clear.

Hi everyone! I'm Ashley P. and I'm a Girl Scout who wants to make a difference in the world. Currently, I've been working on my Gold Award Project, which is a project where Girl Scouts solve an issue in their community to earn the Gold Award. The Gold Award is the highest award a Girl Scout can achieve. In my project, I'm addressing the issue on how there are a lack of women in the STEM field by creating a program to do fun science experiments with younger girls. Also, I constructed this blog for parents and children to do exciting and simple experiments with their kids to spark a passion in this subject like what happened to me as a child. I hope you enjoy and try to accomplish the experiments I post! Also, please have adult supervision while completing these experiments.
