| STEM Project: Coin Tower |
"Coin Tower: Use stacked coins as an immaculate kids’ science demonstration in inertia, friction, and movement. When it comes to scientific muses, Sir Isaac Newton is definitely near the top of our list. Our favorite laws to break involve physics, movement, and motion! That’s why we came up with the Coin Tower demonstration. Using a butter knife, you’ll remove the bottom coin from an entire tower of coins. What’s the secret? Perform the project to find out!" |
| STEM Project: Oil & Water |
"Oil and water just don't mix but they do provide for some amazing hands-on science. There’s something very important about oil and water that you probably already know: oil doesn’t mix with water! That explains why oil spills on the ocean float on the surface and why throwing water on a grease fire is just going to make everything worse. Since you realize that oil and water don’t mix and never will (without some chemical help), let’s have some fun with how they repel each other."
