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.

Science Fair Topics for Middle School Projects

We’re getting ready to roll out a whole new set of science project with science fair topics that are perfect for middle school! In fact, the projects are called Middle School Science Projects. Stay tuned for more information on these cool project topics.

What is Density?

Density is an interesting scientific subject that is sometimes a little bit hard to understand. What is density? Sometimes dense means somebody has a hard head. But in science, dense tells how closely “packed” or “crowded” a particular thing is.

Middle School Science Projects – A Guide

Science Projects were easier in elementary school. Back then, you could submit a model rocket, an egg sucked into a bottle, or a simple science report on electricity. It’s different in middle school. Middle School science teachers want creative ideas, specific elements, in depth research, and detailed logs of the whole science fair process.
Finding a [...]
