Science Activities

I love Steve Spangler and his simple science activities.  Click here to view this week's Experiment of the Week - Volcano in a Cup!

For something colorful and very simple, try this color-changing milk activity.  All you need is a dish of milk, food coloring, and a drop of liquid soap. 

Steve Spangler's Jelly Marbles (pictured here) are SO much fun.  I like to start the first week of school with a fun, hands-on activity such as this one, since it's colorful, fun, and amazing to watch the little tiny superabsorbant polymers grow before your eyes.  The kids love to watch the marbles grow, then they love watching them shrink again when left out of the water.  Using primary colors allows for experimentation with color as well.
