Create a vehicle that stores potential energy, then converts it to kinetic energy. A fundamental law of Physics is that energy is never created or destroyed, only changed from one form to another.

Materials: 1. A wooden skewer 2. A clothespin 3. 1 cup of water 4. 2-3 cups of sugar 5. A tall narrow glass
Steps: 1. First, clip the skewer into the clothespin so that it hangs down inside the glass and is 1 in from the bottom of the glass. 2. Next, remove the skewer and clothespin and put the aside. 3. Then, pour the water into a pan and boil it. 4. Next, pour ¼ cup of sugar into the boiling water and stir till it dissolves. 5. Then, keep adding more sugar, each time stirring until it dissolves. 6. Next, remove the heat and allow it to cool for 20 minutes. 7. Then, ask an adult to pour the mixture into the jar to the top. 8. Next, submerge the skewer into the glass so it is hanging straight down the miss without touching the sides. 9. Finally, put it somewhere where it would not be disturbed and wait for the sugar crystals grow over the next 3-7 days.
Lesson: When you mix water and sugar, you created a saturated mixture, which means that the water could only hold the sugar if it was very hot. As the water cools, the sugar turns into crystals on the skewer.

GOING “GREEN” IN THE ARCTIC
The growth of vegetation in Arctic climatic regions may begin to resemble that of more temperate and tropical regions. Researchers from NASA and Boston University conducted a 30-year study based firmly on satellite information to make this assertion.

In a just single teaspoon of soil there are around 5 million single celled organism!
Materials: 1. A plastic comb 2. A narrow stream of water from a tap. 3. Dry hair Steps: 1. First, turn on the water. 2. Next, run the comb through your hair about 10 times. 3. Then, slowly move the comb towards the stream of water without touching it 4. Finally, you will notice how the water bends because of static electricity. Lesson: When you comb your hair, electrons, negativity charged particles, jump from your hair to the comb, and, thus, makes the comb negatively charged. Since water has both positive and negative charged particles, it is neutral. The positive and negative charges are attracted to each other when you move the negatively charged comb towards the stream, which results in the attraction of the water's positive charged particles creating the water to bend.
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.
