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!
