Put the two groups of musical tastes together and well, you have a big fight over what radio station to listen…

Good, good, good vibrations – sound and vibrations experiment
Sucking an egg into a bottle – heat and pressure experiment
Skating on thin ice pressure experiment – a pressure science experiment for kids.
Pressure – you feel it at school, your teacher feels it during class (yes, a room full of little scientists can be stressful for some teachers), and your dad feels pressure when Mom asks him for the tenth time to take out the trash. Here’s an interesting experiment that demonstrates a different kind of pressure…
Plastic cups in love experiment – a demonstration of Bernoulli’s principle
What does a flying airplane and a pitcher’s curve ball have in common? Well, besides the fact that both travel through the air at amazingly fast speeds – both are based on a principle called Bernoulli’s principle. Bernoulli, (pronounced Burr New Lee) was a Swiss mathematician who liked to piddle around with these types of…
Marshmallows making funny faces science experiment – demonstrate the principle of pressure.
Magical inflating balloons experiment – an experiment to demonstrate thermal expansion and contraction via heating and cooling
Magical expanding soap – the funny microwave and soap experiment inspired by Jacques Charles.
Look Ma’ – no hands – air pressure science experiment
The pushing force of air is called air pressure. The closer you are to Earth, the greater the air pressure. The farther away from Earth (in other words the higher your altitude), the less the air pressure. And remember, pressure is coming from all around us. Here’s an experiment to demonstrate the pressure of air…
