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.
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.
Kids Science Projects By Dan Whyman
What you will want to do is take a couple of different areas of science and write them down. For example, you could choose the following: earth science, weather, and plants. And then take each area and come up with 1-2 experiments for each.
We will take earth as our first example. You can take a [...]
Beyond the Science Project Board
It’s not just science projects. In general, school, homework and learning can be a real struggle for many children – I know this firsthand from watching my boys. Early on, I decided that my guys should never have to look far for the proper tools. Like a busy executive, they needed to concentrate on the [...]

New Fan Page on Facebook
Since our kids spend so much time on Facebook, we thought it would be fun to put up a fan page where we – and you – could post your pictures of your science projects and tell a little about what you have done.
Here’s our new page:

Science Projects to do Outdoors
Science projects aren’t usually done outdoors, but if you stop and think, outside is the perfect place to do your next experiment. After all, most of science happens outside – geology, meteorology, botany, ecology, biology, and even chemistry. Outdoor science projects allow you to make a mess, have a larger work area, and observe [...]
More Winning Science Fair Projects
Just got a note from yet another mom whose kids have won with our science project guides! Note that she’s used them for more than one year – and she only purchased once!
I want to let you know that my boys and I absolutely love these projects. I have two boys who have competed [...]
Writing about Science Projects
Four articles of mine have recently been posted online:
Middle School Science Projects: Finding a middle school science project that meets all these criteria has always been a challenge for our family. Our teachers wanted an experiment based, investigative project for the science fair. Middle School science teachers want creative ideas, specific elements, in depth research, [...]
