We can’t provide cooking lessons but we sure know how to make a cool little oven – out of a pizza box! And while we’re at it we’ll learn how thermal collectors are able to collect sunlight and convert solar radiation into heat.
We delve deep into the subjects of science and history, providing insightful analysis and commentary that is both informative and thought-provoking. Our articles are designed to entertain and educate, catering to both casual readers and serious enthusiasts. In the realm of science, we cover the latest breakthroughs and discoveries in various fields such as medicine, biology, physics, and more. Whether you are a scientist or a science enthusiast, we have something for you (including, yes, crazy science experiments!).
In the realm of history, we offer explorations of ancient civilizations, historical events, and the people who shaped the world we live in today. Our articles provide a glimpse into the past, helping readers understand how the world has evolved over time. We also cover topics such as archaeology, US History, and historical preservation, allowing readers to learn about the different ways that history is studied and preserved.
Light traveling in a straight line appears colorless. But there’s more to light than just colorless nothingness. When light passes through a wedge-shaped piece of glass called a prism, the light is separated into 7 different and unique colors. You see these colors when light passes through rain or moisture producing a rainbow.
Believe it or not, scientists are still arguing precisely about what scientific principle should be used to explain why an airplane can fly. One explanation, the Bernoulli Effect, is commonly used to describe the phenomenon of flight. In this experiment, we demonstrate the second explanation – the Coanda Effect.
Gyroscopic inertia – a strange, complicated word – is a force common all around us. It explains how we are able to ride a bike, how planes navigate, and how a figure skater is able to do those lightning fast spins. Here’s a simple experiment that’ll clear up this confusing concept. Note: the hardest part…
Ever wonder why igloos are dome shaped and not square? Ever been amazed at how a suspension bridge can hold the weight of hundreds of passing cars with little or no apparent support underneath it? This experiment demonstrates how arches are used in architecture not only for aesthetic appeal but for a very useful and…
When a person stretches out flat, more water pushes against them because their body is spread out more, which creates more upward force and causes them to float. Conversely, when they curl up into a ball, less water is pushing against them, which reduces the upward force and makes them sink. Want to test this…
Density is a measure of how much matter takes up a certain amount of space or volume. The more matter you can pack into a certain space, the denser it is. Although we often confused the two, density and weight are actually two different measurements. Weight is defined as the mass of an object times…
