Thanks for playing!Project 1: Letting Goop Spark Creative Writing There is nothing like a messy science experiment to inspire the reluctant writer. Have fun as you make a mess and inspire imaginations with this project. Project 2: Make a Rainbow in a Jar The difference between a pound of cotton balls and a pound of rocks is density. This project is a colorful way to demonstrate density with water and a few secret ingredients that can be found in almost every kitchen. Project 3: How to Make a Lava Lamp This project addresses the mad scientist, artist, and writer in us all. The home-made lava lamp is a great pick-me-up project for any time of day. Students love it. Project 4: How to use Galileo and Skateboard in the same sentence If Earth is rotating on its axis and orbiting the sun, why can't we feel the movement? This physics activity explores that very question using little more than a skateboard and a ball.
