    The flying tea bag experiment is a similar concept to a hot air balloon. It’s the perfect way to get hands-on with the power of hot and cool air.

  • Visual aid of how to complete Chemistry with Erupting Apples

    Get an impressive display of chemical reaction with some vinegar and baking soda. This project can get a little messy, so make sure you clear a surface. We used the little pool from the Kiwi Crate Water Wheel project to contain the fizz.

  • Visual aid of how to complete Crystallization with Egg Geodes

    Have you ever grown your own crystal geodes? Experiment with different borax concentrations and see how big your crystals can grow.

  • Grab some magnet wire, magnets, and batteries to make a rotating sculpture.
