Fun Science Experiments
Fun Science Experiments
I remember when I was a child I had a book of fun science experiments. There were some experiments that I wanted to do and others that I did do. So, I feel like sharing some of them because everyone should do them some point in their lives. Be it they do it with friends, with their kids, siblings or whatnot. It’s fun and it’ll help to add to the good memories we already have.
1. Diet Coke and Mentos Eruption - One of the most popular experiments of modern times is the Diet Coke and Mentos Geyser. Made popular by Steve Spangler, this experiment is a lot of fun and sure to amaze your friends and family (assuming you do it outside rather than in the living room).
2. Invisible Ink with Lemon Juice - Making invisible ink is a lot of fun, you can pretend you are a secret agent as you keep all your secret codes and messages hidden from others. All you need is some basic household objects and the hidden power of lemon juice.
3. Make Your Own Rock Candy - Also known as Sugar Crystals and it’s my favorite experiment to do because it’s easy and tasty. They are made by crystallizing sugar and making it yourself means that you can make as many as you want, with any color and flavor you want.
4. Glow in the Dark - It’s always fun to make and see things glow in the dark. There’s actually a lot of experiments that deal with this, from making drinks that glow, glowing water, fake neon sign, glow in the dark alum crystals, glow in the dark crystal snowflakes, glow in the dark ink, glowing slime, glowing bubbles, glowing flower, and so on.
5. Change the Color of a Flower - This is a very simple experiment and only requires a few things to make it possible. Water, food coloring, a cup (or vase) and a flower. It’s always fun to see a flower change into a different color that’s uncommon for it’s kind. Such as blue or purple roses, aqua magnolias, green carnations, etc.

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 !!

Five Things to Know About NASA Astronaut Kate Rubins
Among the newest crew on the International Space Station is U.S. astronaut Kate Rubins, who will assume the role of Flight Engineer for Expeditions 48 and 49. Here are five things you should know about her:
1. She was chosen from a pool of over 3,500 applicants to receive a spot on our 2009 astronaut training class.
After being selected, Rubins spent years training at Johnson Space Center to become an astronaut. She learned how to use the complex station systems, perform spacewalks, exercise in space and more. Some training even utilized virtual reality.
2. She has a degree in cancer biology.
After earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Molecular Biology from the University of California, San Diego in 1999, Rubins went on to receive a doctorate in Cancer Biology from Stanford University Medical School Biochemistry Department and Microbiology and Immunology Department in 2005. In other words, she’s extremely smart.
3. Her research has benefited humanity.
Rubins helped to create therapies for Ebola and Lassa viruses by conducting research collaboratively with the U.S. Army. She also aided development of the first smallpox infection model with the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. NBD. It will be exciting to see the research come out of a mission with a world-class scientist using a world-class, out-of-this-world laboratory!
4. She is scheduled to be the first person to sequence DNA in space.
During her time at the space station, Rubins will participate in several science experiments. Along with physical science, Earth and space science and technology development work, she will conduct biological and human research investigations. Research into sequencing the first genome in microgravity and how the human body’s bone mass and cardiovascular systems are changed by living in space are just two examples of the many experiments in which Rubins may take part.
5. In her spare time, she enjoys scuba diving and triathlons…among other things.
Rubins was on the Stanford Triathlon team, and also races sprint and Olympic distance. She is involved with health care/medical supply delivery to Africa and started a non-profit organization to bring supplies to Congo. Her recent pursuits involve flying airplanes and jumping out of them – not simultaneously.
Rubins is scheduled to arrive at the International Space Station at 12:12 a.m. Saturday, July 9. After her launch on Wednesday, July 6, the three crew members traveled 2 days before docking to the space station’s Rassvet module.
Watch live coverage of docking and their welcoming starting at 11:30 p.m. EDT Friday, July 8 on NASA Television.

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

Due to colorless irises, the red hue from the blood vessels is visible causing a ‘red-eye’ effect.

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.
