The Elements Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, And Nitrogen - All Crucial To Life - Are Found In Roughly The

Materials: 1. A D size battery 2. Paper clips 3. 3 feet of thin coated copper wire 4. A 3 inch large iron nail

Steps: 1. First, leave 8 inches of wire at one end and wrap most of the rest of the wire on the nail ( do not overlap the wires). 2. Next, leave 8 inches of wire at the other end of the nail. 3. Then, remove an inch of the plastic coating from both ends of the wire and attach one end of the wire to one end of the battery and the other wire to the other end of the battery. 4. Finally, put the nail near the paper clips and it should pick them up!

Lesson: Magnets that cannot be turned off like ones on our refrigerators are called permanent magnets. Since the magnet we made can be turned off and on, it is known as an electromagnet. They run on electricity and are only magnetic when the electricity is flowing through the wires, which has the molecules in the nail attract to the metal paper clips.

Golden or White Zebra

Zoe is one of the rarest zebras in exsistance. She is what is called a Golden Zebra, although some refer to her as a “white” zebra. Zoe is the only Golden Zebra known to be in captivity at this time. Zoe was born on the Island of Molokai, Hawaii in 1998 and shortly after her and her mother, Oreo, were moved to the Three Ring Ranch, which is an animal sancturary on the Big Island of Hawaii.

Coke cans in acid and base. Destroying things with science!

A magnet falling through a cylindrical hollow copper pipe. The magnets slows down in the center because as the metal falls it induces an emf in circular direction in the copper which in turn generates its own magnetic field under the action of Faraday’ law of electromagnetics but opposite in direction as determined by the Lenz’s law. This induces opposite magnetic field interacts with the magnet and tries to slow it down. Cool haa !!

This is a homopolar motor.

It’s really easy to experiment with at home. It is driven by the Lorentz force - the force which is exerted by a magnetic field on a moving electric charge. When a battery is placed on top of a magnet, and a wire then connects the top of the battery back down to the magnet, the circuit is complete.

Students in our Summer Schools were making these the other day. This one won the ‘most creative design’ competition <3

Materials: 1.jelly crystals 2.small cups 3.iron filings 4.calcium chloride 5.zip lock bag 6.water 7.adult Steps: 1.First, Fill one cup with 9 ounces of water 2. Next add a scoop of jelly crystals to the water and wait until the crystals are fully grown. ( The crystals are done growing when there is no more water in the cup) 3. Then add 4 tablespoons of the full-grown jelly crystals to a Ziploc bag 4. Next add 1 tablespoon of iron filings to the bag 5. Then, add a one and a half tablespoons of calcium chloride 6.next, mix everything in the bag by squishing the bag with your fingers 7.then, when everything is mixed, seal the bag 8.finally, squish and squeeze the bag to feel the heat coming out from it Lesson: When the water and Iron is contacted with air, rust is made with a byproduct of heat. Calcium chloride and water produces an exothermic reaction which starts the oxidation of the iron.

Newton’s FLYING BEADS! Easy Kids Science Experiments 

Watch as Newton’s Beads fly out of a cup as a result of INERTIA!

According to Isaac Newton, an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion (like the beads) stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
