Trapped Bird in a cage – a science experiment that demonstrates how our minds make animated cartoons appear as moving images in our heads.
Ever wonder how cartoons are created? Basically what happens is the artist draws the cartoon characters in multiple sequential images and presents them to us in a manner that causes our minds to fill in the missing pieces. This experiment helps demonstrate the basic principle of animation.
Things aren’t always as they appear – light refraction experiment
Ever reached down into the bathtub water to grab a toy and found that it was not in the position it appeared to be in? What you are experiencing is the effect called refraction.
Rock and roll records that just won’t swing. A gyroscopic inertia experiment.
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…
Making water split experiment – electrolysis science demonstration.
As we know, water is actually made of hydrogen and oxygen molecules tightly bound together to form that liquidy goodness we so love to spray on each other. So if it’s made of oxygen, why can’t we breathe it? Actually, we could breathe it IF we could separate the oxygen out from the hydrogen. Fact…
