Elephant toothpaste on the David Letterman show – by Rajeev Goel
Guest blogger Rajeev Goel, creator of “Our Science Fair” shares some fabulously fun projects as seen on the David Letterman show.
Introducing – Our Science Fair
If you’ve ever been involved in organizing a science fair, you know what a hassle it can be. Getting paperwork home to parents is the first hurdle. Getting it back is never easy. But entering registration information into a database is an overwhelming task for someone. That’s where Our Science Fair comes in.
Cosmetology Science Experiment
Earlier this week I talked about our new science project about hair. I suppose, since we are scientists, that I need to call it a Cosmetology Science Experiment. Anyhow – getting this project just right has been about as difficult as getting the right hair cut for my boys. But it’s been fun!
Science Project About Hair – Our Hair Raising Fun…
Designing the science experiment is an important part of our science. Our goal is to take the guesswork out for families, so that they have a step by step list for a science project that works. Read the story of how we found out what tape would be best to use in a science project about hair.
Kids Science Experiments
I’ve been looking all over for good kids’ science experiments. Trust me, true experiments are not easy to find! It amazes me that reputable science publications will label any sort of science activity as an experiment. An experiment is a test of the relationship between two variables that have measurable results that can be replicated. Here are some ways to turn non-experiments into the real deal.
Toilet Paper Science Project
With today’s increased awareness of how important it is to take care of the environment, it’s great when kids can do a science experiment with results that could change the way their own family takes care of the earth. Our toilet paper experiment (or – as the supermarket calls it – “bathroom tissue”), does just that!

Choosing a Science Project for Homeschools
Last week Shannon Shannon Stoltz invited me to be a guest blogger on her homeschooling blog. It was my first stint as a guest blogger, but since she wanted me to write about how to choose a science project, I jumped at the chance. Even though we have excellent public schools, I’m a huge fan [...]
Yeast Science Project – A Page and a Blog to ‘Catch
Yeast is just fascinating on a lot of levels. And a science project on yeast is almost too easy to do. You can usually get anything you need at the supermarket and results are almost instantaneous. The fermentation of yeast is a chemical change, and there are tons of different demonstrations and experiments that you can use for your science fair.
